Rambling Guy

I could write anything in this post. It's going to be one of those pieces that could go anywhere, via a balloon trip to the moon, a mirrored pathway to the dimensions of light, or even a little bottle with the note that reads 'drink me'. Sometimes there doesn't need to be a rhyme or reason to anything at all. It will, however, probably prove to be far less interesting.

Tutoring continues, after a brief visit to the past objectified by Nottingham (a weekend spent making the leafdaughter laugh as much as humanly possible), as does the endless run of tiredness which worries constantly. It's not right to be tired so much of the time. It can't be. It would be more pleasant to see a white rabbit examine his gold watch or a kangaroo spin bowls full of jelly atop poles. Hmm, do you think kangaroos would be good at plate spinning? Best make a note in the event of animal acts becoming more acceptable in the future.

Anything could happen in the next half hour, as would be said in 'Stingray' every week. One of the great things about being raised on reruns is a broad exposure to the whole history of television, from the wackiness of 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea', to the dramatic punch of 'Quantum Leap' and the wonders in between of 'Star Trek', 'Cheers' and 'MASH'. It's wonderful to run that gamut, and then throw in 'Stingray', 'Batman' and even 'Hunter' as well. Then, there were the books, which unsurprisingly began with David Eddings, and piles of 'Star Trek' and 'The A-Team' novelisations and novels, as well as 'The Magician's Nephew' and some of the other usual suspects. It was nice.

The words will stop in a moment, as fatigue sets in and sleep beckons. There will be more book talk in upcoming days, and perhaps a revision to the slightly confused ramble about 'The Master And Margarita'. Oh, and the ever confounding process of booking surface travel will be covered, as a journey to France and perhaps Spain is compiled. Such planning is rather complicated! It would have been easier to wind up a cosmic cog and be catapulted through a crack in the space time continuum.
