everybodee! denis is a genius! he had a beautifully protracted nervous breakdown which he described in an eloquent email this morning, and just as he promised, it's now officially named for me! isn't he a genius? i was just complaining last week that things are very dull and no one was dedicating any breakdowns to me, and it's tricky-going for afterall one can't very well go around demanding that people jettison their sanity, all you can do is to hover about and be some kind of mournful muse descending at the right moment, but denis has very kindly taken pity on me, breezily providing a breakdown-on-demand! now i need to go and do some abominable things in honour of him....i wonder if turning in an application on time counts as being abominable, or at least it's certainly deviant from my standard procedure?
