dust devil

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2009.01.12

We were thinking of buying a new vacuum cleaner. But now we don't have to -- Ken's taken to eating house dust! O frabjous day, callooh callay! That's a few hundred dollars saved.

O son, I think you missed a spot beside the piano.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
