A Bit Of A Mess

Spent most of the day on the floor feeling sorry for myself. Couldn't really get comfortable enough to read, so watched a fair amount of telly, unusually for me. Finally saw the train wreck of an interview involving that most egregious of the Royals, Prince Andrew. The lifelong Republican in me rejoiced as he managed to embody all that is wrong with the system of privilege upon which the monarchy rests. If he'd have been heir to the throne it would surely have been game over for the Windsors. As it is, I'm hoping to see the end of the institution within my lifetime, and since he's still around in the background that'll surely be of some help.
