The premise:

“Fascinated as much as terrified, a woman takes refuge in the privacy of her room to read ‘Speech against God’ by the Marquis de Sade, a book she stole from her husband’s library. The first lines make her aware of the incredibly sulphurous and anticlerical aspect of this book.” She decides to get naked to read it.

NFL round-up:

  • Jets win! Jets win!
  • Apart from that, no surprises.
  • NFC Least watch: The Washington No-Names are in first place at 6-8, but they may spoil our fun of watching a losing team stumble through the post-season because they have two easy games remaining (the 4-10 Panthers and the 4-9-1 Eagles).
  • Another 147 yards for Derrick Henry.

College round-up:

  • Clemson gave Notre Dame a sound thrashing. That briefly opened up a debate about the fourth spot in the playoffs – A&M or Notre Dame? (As Sinatra would say, it’s the Dame.)
  • Nothing else mattered.

From the perspective of the vast and nearly empty universe, an existence possibly devoid of meaning, even that didn’t matter.
