You Call This A Beach?

The future is stupid.

—Jenny Holzer

I have always been clueless, but I am discovering that my cluelessness is constantly extending itself into entirely new continents of ignorance, and even moving resolutely like a glacier over existing continents in my skull that were once green-swept and shot through with sunlight.

I guess I could choose to see this development as a sort of personal growth, as long as I am willing to extend the concept of growth to include such things as mold and bacteria.

Stories never really end. They can go on and on and on. It’s just that sometimes, at a certain point, you just stop telling them.

–Mary Norton, The Borrowers
