Blood and Bandages June 23, 2008
There was a theme to today: injuries. On my way to work this morning I was ignoring the announcements over the intercom (I always do until I hear the word “canceled” or am told to get off a train), when I hear the woman end her sentence with “…because of a person under a train”. Now, I thought for sure I had misheard and there is no way they would say something like that over the loudspeaker in all London Underground stations. For sure they would just say someone was ill or something. Wrong. Someone decided to end it all during rush hour, and it was broadcast via intercom for the entire city to hear. Just the image you want in your head at 8:30 in the morning.
To carry on my theme, at work I was gluing books back together. When the spine has fallen off, or there’s a split in the binding you have to use glue and paper to build it all back together again. And then you get to wrap it up in a bandage! It’s like a book hospital! I love my job.
(the pictures below do not follow my injury theme, but we went to a 3D screening of Journey to the Center of the Earth tonight and the 3D glasses were rad)
