Profound or obvious? I don't know, but it's got a danceable beat.

So, for reasons known to no one (bad brain chemistry? bad conjunction of planets?) I am having a lousy day, with that special Eeyore kind of glumness that feels like standing up to your ankles in cold mud while rain drips down the back of your neck and you wait for the bus to take you to the first day back from Christmas vacation of your eighth grade year.

Yeah. That.

Ergo, I was doing, for my own dim entertainment, the meme that heresluck just posted about (Jungle Jim would be the name of my band, and the album would be Phone Calls Taper Off, in case you were wondering), and the quote up from the Johnny Carson quote that produced the album title was this:

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
--Andy Warhol

And that is so goddamned true I had to post it.

Gobowen used to be my railway station when I was in school in Oswestry.

And now thinking about that, I have that up to the ankles in mud back to school feeling, which can only be cured by someone in Narnia blowing a horn. Blow, bugles, blow, I will come to rescue any fantasy world you like! Dear C.S. Lewis, you also had a rotten time in school, and maybe you would believe how the faintest echoes of the possibility of that horn kept me going.

Yay for the horn. Yay for the possibility of the horn, and the echoes thereof.

And that should have been Modern Greek Grammar, not Green. Oops.

You know, while Modern Greek Grammar isn't a bad band name, Modern Green Grammar is FULL OF AWESOME.

It really is pretty good. I almost never make jewelry from titles, as it prefers to happen the other way around, but as soon as I am finished with this second zombie rat necklace, I am going to ask the beads if some of them want to be Modern Green Grammar.

Yes. Jill and Eustace's school, even.
