The euphoria has subsided somewhat, leaving me with the disordered thinking - racing thoughts, a sense of hurtling, interesting things still being exaggeratedly interesting, earworms like wo. I left my iPod at home deliberately, but it made no difference. It's a bit hard to focus on the shopping list when you're constantly being reminded to WALK WITHOUT RHYTHM - IT WON'T ATTRACT THE WORM.

There is a creative element to this, although it's hard to settle and work. I will now go and write poetry on the wall with my bloody fingertips. Or possibly just a review of Girl in the Fireplace.

I think that watching an updated music video for Russell Morris' The Real Thing, which mixed footage of the young and older Morris, nukes, Hitler, and contemporary news (eg neglected Romanian orphans), in this mental state, may have been a bad idea.

Via the Luther Arkwright audio I've returned to my childhood Jerry Cornelius thing. (This makes me blush, which makes me suspect that he was one of my teenage literary crushes. *rolls eyes* Anyway.) In fact, just a few weeks ago I stumbled across one of the short stories (in an anthology I cannot now locate), and was drawn in even though surrounding, similar New Wave stories did nothing for me. [ETA: It was The Tank Trapeze in New Worlds 7.]

Twice the age now I was when I read The Final Programme etc, I'm much better equipped to "get it" now. The huge sense of random, cosmic pointlessness, yet with a mocking sense of humour. The Kali vision. None of it makes sense; none of it really matters in the long run; it's too huge and too horrible and too silly.

Of course, revelations like this are a tediously obvious side effect of the brane wobbles.
