Yeah, you're daily dose of internet saccharine...a flying squirrel knocks over a broom and then poses beneath it as if it were squashed. Who knew squirrels had a sense of humor?

Found this downloaded on my phone, my repository of videos I have on my list.
So, this was fine, a character study of the eccentrics that make up the independent booksellers of New York. The bookstores, while I've never been, are after a pattern of places similar I've been, the proprietors, after my own heart, collectors and readers, watching them being interviewed I find it curious how people so different from myself can reveal themselves to be so similar, there's a point about 10 minutes and thirty seconds in I find one of them living in virtually the same squalor that I frequently (when landed) find myself in, you could swap me in and I wouldn't change a thing; the curios, maps, art...
And this, again and again, and you can see how people - however different they may appear in personality, the mind does shape the world without in a pattern that reflects itself.
Anyways, greatly enjoyed this, it was like spending time with people you know but simply haven't had the opportunity to meet.

driving, leaning out my car window, a pinched nerve, left arm. It's able to move, work, but for some reason it's become tingly and clumsy, as if my brain doesn't get any feedback as to what it's handling, I'm unable to efficiently pick up anything with it, holding a cigarette with it and it flips out of my fingers, trying to tie a balloon becomes an effort of will, this is bizarre and I'm getting a good foreshadowing of what a stroke will feel like if I don't mend my ways...bloody hell...a peculiar sensation this, when your limbs don't respond to your will or accurately report upon their senses...

Dreams, that I was the sub for a bunch of High-School Physics students in Toronto, the class, more an old school library with the green shaded lamps and bookcases, a class out of Oxford or Eton, I was to sub for a week and now was time to administer a test...
Only I don't know what questions I should ask, let alone the answers, it's been a week and I haven't yet figured it out, I'm confused, know nothing, and the professor shows up, back from vacation, indignant, to throw chalk and curse at me, call me a fraud...
There's another sub I'm getting along with, talking, he's telling me nothing,...
Another dream, more dreams, still images, this next, I'm being pursued through an abandoned factory by giant disembodied ghost heads, like the the demons in Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", only these aren't cartoons or anime, more real-world renderings of his nightmares, nightmarish but not a nightmare...
