Bloomsday Missed
My Bloomsday is not logged here because I've not been home. Though I did not wander the streets of Dublin, I did but wander the streets of Singapore - tired, depressed and hungry. Food was forced down my throat somewhere by Mom - unsuccessfully (She capitulated into buying me an ice-blended, which, she insists, is not food) and Tiff. WAlking from bookstore to library to comic bookstore in the maddening heat, I thought I ought to be home finishing up my Ulysses.
Today was spent going to Ang Mo Kio, Seng Kang, Hougang, Holland, Singapore Poly and hither back home finally for a breather. Walking around in this inhumane heat and feeling my perspiration down my back, down my face, between the crevices of my body is a strangely liberating experience. The sunlight is so intense everything looks hellishly surreal. Is this what apocalypse will look like? Feel like?
Anyway, this should be my last post/link on Bloomsday...for this year of course.
Stream of consciousness writing, I'm not quite like Joyce, but my writing is consciously unstreamed too.

Hee hee - I tried to blog what I could of my own Bloomsday... tough stuff. Persist. Folly.
