Paper Nets
(I started writing this this afternoon, and it's turned into a huge random braindump. Oops.)
Once again listening to THE SPOILS by Zola Jesus, while I wait for Baron Mordant to post me the new Mordant Music. With the autumn's biggest bumblebee hanging around the top of my netbook in some confusion.
