Today I went for a walk in the rain. I got completely soaked, but it didn't matter, which was nice. And then I bought some books. It was a good day.
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about my novel, but not very much writing. I can't seem to sit down and get the words out, which is frustrating since it's all there in my head. I shall attempt to persevere though.
I've been thinking about the idea of the panopticon lately because I recently re-read The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. Today, I was dancing in an empty supermarket aisle when a woman walked in and saw me. She said, "I saw that." And then I blushed, but she went on to say that she'd recently been talking about how it's odd that we're so intimidated around each other. What are we scared of, she asked. I wanted to burst out "The Panopticon!" but she didn't have very many teeth so instead I just said, "I guess of each other." grabbed my raspberry jam, and left.
