(Brief laugh.) Ah that's a good one!”

Absurd theatre and existentialist lit isn't for everyone ... but I really enjoy it. I couldn't tell you why, but something about the themes and the pointlessness (?) of it all really appeals to me. I know some people find the idea of Hamms parents living in Ash bins and Clov not being able to sit ect ect reallt stupid but something about that stupidity is charming to me.

“Use your head, can't you, use your head, you're on earth, there's no cure for that!”
