Of course, as soon as a thing has happened it isn’t fantastic any longer, it’s inevitable. The inevitable is what you’re doing or have done. The fantastic is simply what you didn’t do.

started Ulysses the other day because I see nothing but lean little books in bookshops and have read lots of short things lately so I have been craving a big, complicated book. This is a great success because in terms of big and complicated it cannot possibly disappoint me

had never previously understood why ppl in the 80s thought that 80s fashion looked good but I watched an hour of kate bush performances and it makes sense now.
