Wooo Friday and Whales
Oct. 19th, 2007 02:00 pmBeen an OK week. I'm unaccountably tired, though, which I partially attribute to the weather changing, and I partially attribute to...well, I'll let a far more talented wordsmith than I describe that:
Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball.
So I suppose the only logical conclusion is for me to go whaling.
