Yet more dead fish
So what happened during the past 9 months? Did I get pregnant? Did I get a cat? Well, neither. I've mostly been slouching off to work and then to come back and more or less go to bed straight away. Not much energy left for stuff after work these days. And once again, I'm looking for a new job. The confused and fucked up brain of my boss is taking all the good parts out of this one and turning it into suckiness. My coworker isn't really helping either. Ah well. We'll see what happens.
Got aquainted with the writings of Alastair Reynolds. Very, very nice. As someone I know would put it "best sc13Nce-f1x0Rn ev0R". Good old fashioned spaceships, a healthy dose of cyberpunk, no hyperspace and that post-apocalyptic goodness with more impending doom to come. Hold the feely-good stuff.
I'm currently also investing money into getting good kitchen equipment. My nicest addition are ceramic knives. For the week after I got them, I did lots of stir fry recepies, just so that I could cut stuff. Cutting is fun. And I got an ice-cream maker, for making that good basil-cinnamon ice cream. Yay.
Recent music I encountered:
This Morn Omnia - Les Voyage Jumeaux. Probably their best album yet. While the previous records had one or two really good pieces, even the slow stuff here makes you want to get up and kick the neighbors brat. And the neighbor as well. And while you're at it, the entire neighborhood. Listen to this in the morning on the way to work for that humanitarian touch.
Mentallo and the Fixer - Commandments for the Molecular Age. Well, Dwayne is back. You can hear it. Mentallo is better now that it has been for over 8 years. But still nothing spectacular. Hrm.
Tarmvred - Tintorama. Nice and noiseish. Not like Viva 6851, more Subfuscish, but more noisey.
