Still wading through Frankenstein essays. Some of them aren't half bad. Others, however, are. Also, some are almost completely indecipherable.



Of such things are the nightmares of English lecturers made. The simple act of reading has left me cross-eyed, headachy and with a crick in my neck. Also, I cannot believe that that degree of lengthy flourish on the upstrokes is anything other than perfectly deliberate, which seems unnecessarily cruel.

By way of waywardly random linkery, I recommend to your attention the latest despairing political commentary from Fafblog. I can't work out if it's talking about the economy, the ecology or the current state of self-serving political doublethink - I suspect the answer may be "yes" - but regardless, despairing satirical awareness about cultural freefall has never been so enjoyably surreal.

Back to the Doom of Handwriting. Will slay these scripts this weekend, or perish in the attempt.
