If I didn’t say I was jealous I would go to prison for lying.

Hey, a hooker in the hand is worth three in the bush Imic

[Egan_BW]

I'd think that would be the other way around to be honest.

Now I'm just waiting to see if they'll fund me to live in Cork for the summer. I hope.

Was able to sit up long enough to work on my absolutely epic random item table. It's not done yet, but I can't wait to see it in action.^_^

Woah when did it become early 2010s in this thread again?

[Dunamisdeos]

Like just now, I think.

Also, greetings from the future, invest in Amazon.

I found a copy of Vanity Fair under the house the other day, reckon I might start on that if I ever make it through Franny and Zooey.

I sent a letter today.   

I received a letter today!    

   

What a nice feeling. I can definitely recommend writing letters to your friends. Or, if you have no friends (or if they're paranoid and refuse to give you a mailing address), write to a pen-pal of some description. You could even chuck a slim book in the envelope, to be "extra" without it costing too much extra.   

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go procrastinate on writing a reply.

Just came from the doc (its great to be able to afford those again). Peter has this persistent cough... gladly no fever or any other thing that would point to anything viral, just some alergy (Its nice to afford meds again).

Did you know? Letters are the source of the coronavirus! Switch to ancient Sumerian glyphs today!

One good thing about this isolation malarkey is that I have time to write and reread The Name of the Wind. Sometimes an unholy alliance between the two is formed...

Red of heart and hand Kvothe stands,
Last season’s wool thrown to the vale,
Before the scissor-tree.
Sudden seizing the wind’s imagining
He spins it like a tale of Taborlin greeting
The mythologies of age
Before the conquering whip.

The raised wind follows channels,
Bunches and relents, heart spent in bluster
Until silence as deep as an inn’s
Is wrought.

The scissor-tree falls flat
And Kvothe walks through no-one’s applause
To pluck the fruits of his veins.

He smiles.
The knotted tree, released
Exhales
And finds its voice within the wind.

Further edited:

Bled red of heart and hand Kvothe stands as King
Alone before last season’s emperor;
The scissor-tree which makes a warrior.

Then sudden seizes wind’s imagining,
Spins it into a tale of Taborlin,
Remembers the mythologies of age.
 
Such whips as these could make a mage
Or raise the wind in channels, brim
The bunching wind in blustering of hearts

Until there lies a silence, deep as any inn’s
Where memory is wrought by light of sins.
The scissor-tree falls flat by namer’s arts

And Kvothe walks through no-one’s applause to ease
The knotted tree, exhaling in the breeze.
