Higgledy piggledy. Pudding and pie. Throw the feathers, and then let them fly. There is absolutely no obligation to make sense on April Fool's Day, even if the magical midday hour has long passed us by. Look behind you! It's a three headed mime! Yikes!
A three headed mime? Is there anything scarier sounding than that? Even now the shudders are terrifying... Well, they're not really, but it's better than talking about politics. The first of the propaganda fliers came slurping through the door yesterday, so it must actually be election season after all, and we are all doomed to a few weeks of electioneering. Other countries would laugh at that sentence, though, especially the USA, where only a couple of months seem to go by between presidential election cycles or House elections and campaigns last for years on end! Elections are much more sedate here, but still fundamentally messed up by people blindly voting traditionally instead of on their candidates. As a result, who knows what will happen?! It's not my intention to talk about politics much on the Quirky Muffin, being both independent and mildly bored by the whole process, but my vote will be exercised scrupulously and hopefully so will many other people's. It's good to vote, readers, and good to vote responsibly. Even as the world spins eccentrically, it's a good idea to use what power we have wisely.
Away from politics, and trying to not think about unemployment too much, what else to write about? TEFL job opportunities and courses? The world of 'Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)'? 'The African Queen'? 'The African Queen' will actually be revisited next time, after having seen it for the first time today, and realising once again just how much of an icon of cinema Katherine Hepburn was, a status which has never really been in doubt for her co-star Humphrey Bogart. However, more of that next time.
After wavering over stories for a while, it will now be 'Oneiromancy' all the way until its conclusion, which is now definitely set up. It will all flow much better in the compiled story, surely, losing a lot of the mid-story stalling and probably adding a lot more jokes. It's not a good story without added jokes, as any Jasper Fforde read will tell you gleefully.
Well, this has been a hodge podge of miscellaneously bagged together items. Sometimes that has to happen... Consider it an update as number five hundred approaches.
