An early start, confounding brunch

This morning my alarm went off at six. I rolled over, turned it off, and slept for another hour. Then I got up and went out for a run.

In need of sleep

I got up about ten, had a mellow morning rewatching The Big Lebowski, in preparation for reading the cod-Shakespearean Two Gentlemen of Lebowski. There are some magnificent jokes in the script - partly to do with the way that nationalities are changed to have some sort of consistency with Shakespeare's work, including the wonderful way that there's a character called Brother Seamus - an Irish monk. Whether you find that funny in itself or not will probably depend on whether you remember the dialogue when the Dude accosts the private investigator who has been following him - truly the whole thing is a work of joy to read.
