‘Can there exist, in principle, a proper beginning to any story at all? Isn’t there always, without exception, a latent beginning-before-the-beginning?’

Measuring out
Is there a way to tell if your level of anger is appropriate? How do you know? I wish there was a machine to help you measure out the correct number of grammes.
Whatever you do, don't take a measurement after the event. There's something peculiar about the time distorting effects...
...the p1 'appropriate' particles seem to decay faster than the p2 'anger' particles themselves, which always makes it seem like you got things out of proportion.
My head feels/fills as if it's going to explode when I'm over the top. Luckily this hasn't happened in a very long while.
Has the story of the biology professor-murderer reached Scotland? Not granted tenure, she fatally shot three of her colleagues and seriously wounded two others at a department meeting. I suspect we are amateurs compared to her. There's rage and then there's anger.
No, Mim, I haven't heard that particular story yet.
Anger is just so exhausting. I used to think I didn't get angry enough - I would get very sad/tearful instead - now I feel I am making up for lost time and getting super angry...

i think my p1s and p2s are all mixed up...
