Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut

The Straw Men by Michael Marshall
Palmerston is not a big town, nor one that can convincingly be said to be at the top of its game.

Vineland by Thomas Pynchon
Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof.

Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.

Another Start

I'm going through the stack of papers one-by-one, sorting out numbers, agreements and lists when it hits me that I've just rented a new apartment. This means I have to move. Of course, that was the whole point of visiting various apartments over the past few weeks, looking at my options, reassessing my budget and working out the pros and cons but the implications still hadn't fully occurred to me until just a few moments ago.

Of course, this is after a weekend of inundating hyperactivity so I'm a little spin-crazy at the moment anyway, attempting to recover from clubbing, drinking, and lack of sleep. The second job started on Saturday, too, and through this haze of activity and blur of change, I still feel a distinct tinge of buyer's (or would that be "renter's"?) remose. Could I argue that my decision to move was influenced by a temporary lack of judgement?

After the months of debate over this issue, I'm settling it once and for all, and saying that: no, this is in fact what I need and wanted. Point made. Time to run with it.
