incandescensNo, you see, I have a good excuse for not getting anything done today. (Well, apart from the grocery shopping, and buying a new pair of shoes, and trying to get my watch fixed, and a few other things.
I found a copy of Whispers Underground in the local Waterstones (bookshop), the new Aaronovitch in the Rivers of London series. To be precise, I found several copies of it.
And there was also a copy of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 2009, which didn't hurt. Er, help. I mean, help.
So, you see, it would have been positively wrong of me to try writing my own stuff while overflowing with other people's excellent voices.
One should be careful how one mixes one's forma.

That's quite enough of that.
I rocked the fretful baby gods to sleep before time started, and I am companion to the women who paste up the stars. The quarters of the world are bound unto my compass. I have taken tea with earthquakes. I know what the bee knows . . .
. . . and you really are a dreadful little boy.
