I can see that. If you can write in MS, you’re in the top 5%. If you can read & write, sky’s the limit.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

There are a few creatives in Oxford, and I’m not putting them down. But I wonder why people feel like this. To me, the town looks like a stage set or like something out of a Lands End catalog. And then you have an undergrad community that … doesn’t exactly put individuality above conformity. Not to put them down, and i don’t mean it as an insult. Just confused as to how the town would inspire.
