Days of the New*

New suntan lines

New tattoo

New friend

New chilly spring style

*I do not actually listen to Days of the New.

I love stories about people nearly lost at sea:

3 New Zealand Teenagers Lost at Sea for 51 Days

3 Mexican Fishermen Lost at Sea for 9 MONTHS

The world is a cruel and miserable place, and I am cruel and miserable in it.

"The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village."
— Roald Dahl (Matilda)

The pilcrow [¶] is not just some typographic curiosity, useful only for livening up a coffee-table book on graphic design or pointing the way to a paragraph in a mortgage deed, but a living, breathing character with its roots in the earliest days of punctuation. Born in ancient Rome, refined in medieval scriptoria, appropriated by England's most famous modern typographer and finally rehabilitated by the personal computer, the story of the pilcrow is intertwined with the evolution of modern writing. It is the quintessential shady character.
