“ London always reminds me of a brain. It is similarly convoluted and circuitous. A lot of cities, especially American ones like New York and Chicago, are laid out in straight lines. Like the circuits on computer chips, there are a lot of right angles in cities like this. But London is a glorious mess. It evolved from a score or so of distinct villages, that merged and meshed as their boundaries enlarged. As a result, London is a labyrinth, full of turnings and twistings just like a brain.

p had the black version of this clock in his old apartment, and it used to drive me bonkers. i always wanted the pieces to be perfectly aligned as a square.

so i have mini-essay that i have to write for my 4 o’clock class, and i can’t get access to the material i’m meant to write about because the username and password i have for the departmental ftp aren’t working. they’ve worked before, they just aren’t working now. and i’ve tried them on different computers, different browser and ftp clients, etc. always comes back username and password don’t work. even though i’ve got two different handouts from two different classes with the same username and password on them, so it’s not that i wrote it down wrong. and i haven’t received anything saying they’ve been changed. at least, i don’t think i have, but i could be wrong, because my school email server won’t show me my email. so i also can’t write to the other people on my course to find out if they’re having the same trouble i am. and i feel like an idiot writing to the professor to say that i haven’t done the work that’s due in 3 hours because i can’t get the data and could he please confirm the access info. which is what i’m going to have to do now.
damn it. damn it. damn it.
Willow pattern!
