Singular, like a fish

I’m sure this has happened to you before.

My friend quoted me back to myself the other day, referring to something I had apparently written many years ago. I said something was “singular, like a fish.”

What the hell was I thinking? Fish aren’t singular, are they? But I like the way that sounds, so I’ll take credit for it. Even if I can’t remember saying it.

I was sick of google blue; a little CSS makeover today.

And I found this CSS cheatsheet.

Not as good as Owen Meany or A Widow for One Year but there are some very funny parts. I’d never really noticed before Irving’s talent for slapstick. Some scenes are so visual, I feel like I’m in a Marx Brothers movie.
