Wasn't sure what 'cynosure' meant so here "Where perhaps some beauty lies, The cynosure of neighboring eyes. (Milton)" and "Cynosure derives from Latin cynosura, from Greek kunosoura, dog's tail, the constellation Ursa Minor, from kuon, kun-, dog + oura, tail. As the eyes of mariners and travelers were often directed to the North Star, so our eyes are often directed to a cynosure".
What sameness, ennui, tedium, banality, yawn. Propanolol is a beta-blocker. Se beon god for hwa, ne æghwa (very bastardised Old English all higgledy from http://www.mun.ca/Ansaxdat/vocab/wordlist.html). |

In school, typing from WJ's laptop. Hoped it would thunderstorm but didn't. Went through half a set of notes in more than 2 hrs, then finished them in .5 hrs perched on sleepy red couch in library. Strange giddy sensation behind orbits. Brain feels chewed on, which isn't that surprising considering general trauma of yesterday's Patho. This being one of more normal, unpretentious, so diary-ly conversational blog I've typed in a long time, should persist but Shir jsut here with msg Jap food and I don't want her to see me typing so ta for now. |

"Book stamped by Ms Fludde, my patient, a solemn. pale, dark-haired, large-eyed girl, suffering from mammary hyperplasia, what the laity call big tits. She, much concerned these are abnormal, and from cynosure of every eye in bus, supermarket... Gave reassurance that what seemed to owners as obvious as dome of St Paul's is really as unnoticeable to passers-by as the lamp-posts... Ms Fludde said she sensitive to young men regarding them through sweater as ravening Tantalus the fruit-laden boughs forever swaying from his grasp, wishes to be loved for personality and intellect.... Take book, tactfully averting eyes from relevant organs, though difficult."
