THIS IS NOT A HEALTHY PERSON

I don't know why I feel compelled to do these things. It's a kind of narcissism, I guess, but it belongs to the bizarro world. I had a bad glass of wine last night, that's part of it. Tasted like bile-flavored Kool-Aid. But I drank the Kool-Aid. I'm a man of purpose. Larger here.

But there seems to be a field of green grass reflected in your spectacles. Hopeful, right?

I wish my own personal jags of self-loathing had such whimsy.

Self-loathing, yes. Unrecognizable, yes yes.

Love the shawl. Is that all you're wearing?

I like it. Not to fixate on things Irish, but it reminds me of one of Louis le Brocquy's illustrations for The Tain, known as the "Irish Iliad." The Tain ("Cattle Raid") is an Iron Age epic, perhaps going back to 300 B.C

le Brocquy's illustrations for a 1969 translation were (are) marvelous, especially compared to the faux-medieval knights and maidens illustrations that typically went along with versions of The Tain. One of my favorites is his illustration of what it might have looked like when the hero would get angry on the battlefield and go into a "warp spasm:"

Your portrait looks like a close up of the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test of a Modern Warp Spasm.

Bile-flavored Kool-Aid is the best kind.

Thy horrid image doth unfix my hair.

I didn't really mean the above, but I don't often get to use that line.
