poliphilo Judy just wrote a short play about 9/11. I was thinking about this and it hit me that in another nine months 9/11 will be distanced from us by 25 years- that is to say a whole quarter century.
There was a conversation going on yesterday that I was hanging at the edge of. One guy was saying how the Millennium was ages ago but the 1970s were yesterday.
And then someone else, I think it was Ailz, said how people were increasingly using the phrase "the late nineteen hundreds" as if the days of our (comparative) youth were some remote historical era.
But then there are millions and millions of actual, fully responsible adults walking around for whom that's exactly what they are.
Finally Ailz capped things off by saying, "Do you realise that the baby who plays the sun in the Teletubbies is now a mother?"
