The book itself is a curious artifact, not showy in its technology but complex and extremely efficient: a really neat little device, compact, often very pleasant to look at and handle, that can last decades, even centuries. It doesn't have to be plugged in, activated, or performed by a machine; all it needs is light, a human eye, and a human mind. It is not one of a kind, and it is not ephemeral. It lasts. It is reliable.
--Ursula K. Le Guin

@sleepywitch just out of curiousity, any photos of you with your natural hair colour?
Proof again that too much reading causes curly hair.![]()
Thanks, Virge
hey, how did you know that's not my natural hair colour?
here's the closest I've got to it (it's dyed reddish with Henna hear; I've dyed my hair with Henna since I was 13 and even when I don't do it for a year,
it just won't rinse out. when I try to dye my hair black it's got a red shade even when it didn't look red without the black dye)
by the way, I love your hair, Prole. but I guess you must read a lot more than me, if reading causes curls

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

You're right Prole!

Yes, I do look sad, but I'm not actually crying, it's just the shadow of my hair under my eye
This picture fits my mood today, I'm pretty tired and life just isn't very fun right now.
