"The penguin", said Viktor bleakly, "is me".
Unlike Death And The Penguin, this journal is not likely to ever be described by the Daily Telegraph as a tragicomic masterpiece. Nonetheless, you are welcome to read it if you wish. It is friends only, but in a nice way, like - if you drop me a comment explaining where you found me/what we have in common, I'm sure I'll add you :).
"Did not Dr Kunastrokius, that great man, at his leisure hours, take the greatest delight imaginable in plucking of asses' tails, and plucking the dead hairs out with his teeth, though he had tweezers always in his pocket? Nay, if you come to that, Sir, have not the wisest men in all ages, not excepting Solomon himself,- have they not had their Hobby-Horses; their running horses, - their coins and their cockle-shells, their drums and their trumpets, their fiddles, their pallets, - their maggots and their butterflies? - and so long as a man rides his Hobby-Horse peaceably and quietly along the King's highway, and neither compels you or me to get up behind him, - pray, Sir, what have either you or I got to do with it?"
- Laurence Sterne, Tristram Shandy. He makes a good point.
