HOLY SHIT mate dropped off "some old PC parts" as a thanks for helping them move house.

64GB DDR3 and an asus GTX DirectCU II

...no backsies

Elevated platform is the key.

Morning all.

Gym

Shopping

And it's funny. When you've got someone coming over, how you realise you've been living poorly and need to scramble to clean the house.

"why yes, I am in fact a civilised human. Why do you ask?"

And starting the weight cut this week. Hello chicken and tuna my old friends :/

So many things to do but I just don’t wanna. How to fix.

Morning all. I gotta get up and I don't wanna.

I have managed to get an excessive number of bananas this week, and they are all ripe now. This goes way beyond 'make a cake' quantities, I think I'll need to freeze some for later.

another bag of clothes that are now too big to go to the opshop , pants were just literally falling off without a belt, I have a bunch of skirts that are too big now but I will just take them in at the waist

i think this is a good thing 😊

will try to have a calm weekend 😊

After FIFTEEN fucking years, I finally have this guitar sound I've wanted.

And it was by complete accident.

Fucking finally!!!!!!!!!

Cool. Haircut and beard trim is done.

Lunch and naps here I come!

I am now listening to Ithaca audio book by Claire North. Nice to hear a story at last from the women's point of view , women's stories have been neglected, or so the story teller tells us.

This book reminds me of Elektra and also The Trojan Women by Euripides.

The Trojan Women is such an amazing play. It was so political, so powerful when it was first staged it nearly caused riots.

( seriously, I'm only one hour in, i find it a bit cringy )

tonight I am listening to Boards of Canada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2zKARkpDW4

I have had an efficient afternoon. Got around to hemming a couple of pairs of pants I've been meaning to do for months, and repaired a couple of pairs that had rips in the legs. Plus repaired a tear in one of my sheets.

Rice and beans in nachos for lunch. Had a nap. Still too full for a post nap snack

jeeeeesus christ the tesseract debacle really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Any ideas where I could get an Elmer board book in the city (like an independent book store). I've had a Google but I suspect the places I'm looking for don't necessarily have a fulsome catalogue listed online.

John le Carre biography by Sissman

the biography truly conveys the real character of Cornwall, his real life and his writing

he is boring, his world view is surprisingly naive, ( took him 30 years to find out sometimes witnesses and sources lie!), he has sympathy but no empathy, not patriotic or social ( he thought he shouldn't have to pay taxes just because he doesn't want to ) , can't write women, but he can write a good "what happens" next book, people would send him ideas for his books , his spy stories are as accurate as james bond books but are less fun and more respected because he doesn't/can't write erotica

after I read a le Carre I do not know more about the world or human nature, they are what Greene would call entertainments

i respect he did the sit down work and the structure is often technically very good.

I did like The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and The Constant Gardener movies, I think sometimes the movies are better than the books. Burton made that movie, it would have been awful without him ( yet Carre hated him and the performance ) just like Fiennes made the Gardner movie.

3 hobbits for biography ( it was way too long )
