I am made better than ever!

 

 

 

 

I went on to the Internet today to write a quick, not all that funny joke for you because you've been working so hard here learning about Jacopo Pontormo. So... you needed a reward.

But I immediately came across a BBC Future article about how being grumpy and bad-tempered is really good for you.

I just wanted to tell you that it irritated the hell out of me. So I stopped reading it. 

And I do feel better. 

So thank you BBC Future.

No, that wasn't my joke. My joke was that I was working on the automatic check in machine at my library and I dropped a big, thick novel really hard, on the corner of its spine, on a cement floor. 

"Uh oh." I said quietly. "I think I broke it into short stories!"

No one was around to hear my witticism. 

It bugged me.
