.: another amazing sunset, noticed even while quite sick, raw, and febrile. I find it most interesting that, in my weakened condition today, a movie might yield 2 hours of dynamic, if oft-times vulgar, entertainment; a sunset, over an hour of subtle, quiet, but spectacularly differentiated and enliveningly joyful entertainment, with absolutely no price of admission, as they might say.

Well, before the pixie-lights of my monitor send me into an epileptic nausea, I will retreat from the XLab and into the rug-room, where toast awaits me.
