One moment of excitable inhalation

I can barely believe what just happened! Indeed, I can so barely believe it that I am using exclamation marks in a flagrant and downright wilful fashion! Without due regard for health and safety laws! I have rarely been so animated! Or excitable!

Buzz buzz in the eardrum

If I had ever thought to lie awake at night and ponder what a fly might sound like when heard from a distance of approximately ten thousand miles away, I would have just received my answer.

In fact, it sounds almost exactly like a fly does if it is buzzing right next to your ear. […]
