Might pay the piper at the gates of dawn

I haven't gotten exquisite corpse spam in literally a decade. It is continuing to be a rough weekend, so I was delighted by this arrival in my inbox this afternoon:

This is nutcase, silent since chinaware over republic. Concerning antique motor music. Whose perseverance, separation to mischief will not be allegorical.

"Concerning antique motor music" almost sounds like a treatise I'd read.

My sleep was broken more than once by Hestia cannoning through the bedroom door with all the triumphant joy of a cat who has fully learned how to handle a slightly janky doorknob, but later in the night I dreamed of living in a house with enough room at the turn of the stairs between the second and third floors for a kind of alcove of bookshelves and roll-top desk with a view of trees across the back yard and I woke up desperately wanting it. The chance of ever having enough money to own rather than eternally rent seems to dwindle terribly by the year.
