Delving into things from the colonial era is, very often, nothing but an extended exercise in masochism. You run into passages like 'The European races are characterised by activity. The Asiatic races are characterised by indolence' (paraphrasing), and you nod, and maybe make note of it, and move on.

Can you blame me for writing porn in the library? My favourite notebook now has pages of Very Important Notes interspersed with porn in a variety of fandoms. (Note to self: do not give it to anyone. Ever.)

Well, I'm not *writing* while I'm driving. I have this ridiculous thing of turning sticky bits of stories I'm writing over and over in my head until the progression, or the phrasing, or even the goddamn punctuation is just exactly right (yes, my stupid brain occassionally gets stuck on *comma placement*). And of course it always clicks perfectly into place when I'm driving. So I write it down, smile happily and keep driving. :)
