Well. This has been one of the shittier weeks of my life, mainly because of certain RL stuff. Just because something's inevitable, it doesn't make it suck any less. It doesn't make it hurt any less.
And yet, and yet, the world goes on. So here I am, trying to finish The Iliad before going to see Troy this evening, and tomorrow I'll be going to hear Salam Pax, the Baghdad blogger, speak at the Sydney Writers' Festival, and then I'll be catching up with friends for an afternoon of video watching. And there'll still be the siege the next day, and the story I want to get finished for the next Hayase session - and somehow life, oddly relentless, finds ways to pull you into its circle again.
