Lately... (blah, blah, blah)

...I've been far too tired to post much. This thing in which I get up before 7 a.m. is not agreeing with me much. Which is to be expected, I suppose.

...I've been reading a lovely little gargantuan novel called Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, which is about British magicians, and is much funnier than I expected. The first several chapters concern the question "If there are so many magicians in England, why is nobody actually doing any magic?" This makes me giggle. I'm particularly fond of the sort of polite skewering of people and things that you get with a lot of older British humor, and this is a lovely revival of the practice. I'm only about 1/5 of the way into it, but if it should continue to be as good as the first bits were, I'll heartily recommend it to everyone, especially fionnabhar.

...There are Thelemites (that I don't know, even) using my Uncle Al icon. This also makes me giggle.
