Not my best matched corners and I managed to break a magnetic pin minder. So a fairly productive day overall. And I need to sweep. (I did not sweep.)
Thought about pulling the blocks apart, but standard clauses apply. Done today and off by 1/8″ or pull it apart, get discouraged, and finish sometime in January. Don’t be dumb about shit no one notices but you. ffs. stahp.
OK fine, there were two spots that were bugging the shit out of me from across the room. They got the marker cheat code and I got a cease-and-desist for the left eye twitch. All’s well that doesn’t bleed too much in the end.
We sometimes experience sensations to which language is not equal. The conception is too bulky to be born alive, and in the torture of thinking we stand dumb. Our feelings imprisoned by their magnitude, find no way out, and, in the struggle of expression, every finger tries to be a tongue. The machinery of the body seems too little for the mind and we look about for helps to shew our thoughts by. –Such must be the sensation of America, whenever Britain steaming with corruption, shall propose to her to sacrifice her faith.
But exclusive of the wickedness, there is a personal offence contained in every such attempt. It is calling us villains; for no man asks another to act the villain unless he believes him to be inclined to be one. No man attempts to seduce a truly modest woman. It is the supposed loseness of her mind that starts the thought of seduction, and he who offers it calls her a prostitute. Our pride is always hurt by the same propositions which offend our principles: for when we are shocked at the crime we are wounded by the supposition of our compliance.
~Thomas Paine, The Crisis: Number XI, May 11, 1782.
