You know, I've never liked that Freud.  But during a conversation with [profile] vschanoes, I realized he'd be the perfect one to include in a discussion of doubled others. 

So I looked for my copy of "The Uncanny."

And I looked for my copy of "The Uncanny."

And I looked for my copy of "The Uncanny."

And I looked for my copy of "The Uncanny."

And I looked for my copy of "The Uncanny."

For two fecking hours, while on deadline. 

I was right to hate Freud.

But I am still filled with a grudging admiration for Murphy, given that when I found the essay, finally, it had mysteriously doubled ....

Yep, that's right.  A copy of the essay (the essay about dopplegangers) that I don't remember making appeared alongside it. 

Uncanny?  Or just ... my luck?

Oooh, spooky!

But sadly has reminded me of the hours I spent looking for just one of the FOUR different editions of Abrams' Glossary that I know I own. I could not find a single one, but I did find FIVE copies of the 3rd edition of Everything's an Argument.

I'm thinking transmutation?

ALWAYS Murphy.
