Don't comment on my lighter - I know it's fucking furry
Random.
Yesterday:
* Yesterday I drove 10 miles home following a car which had 2 large strips of metal sticking 3 feet out the passenger-side window, maybe some kind of shelf fitting or edging. I was really really hoping to see the police pull him over but he managed to avoid scraping down the side of anyone's car.
* Apparently yesterday it was cloudy and misty all day in Edinburgh and beautiful sunshine in Livingston.
* One of my colleagues asked another if we get many scantily-clad women sunbathing outside the office in summer. Nope.
* "The need to let suffering speak is a condition of all truth. For suffering is objectivity that weighs upon the subject ... " (Adorno, ND 17-18).
Today:
* Shopping in Zara's men's department I saw an exceptionally smart pair of shorts in a small black and white check. I do not know if this is what Spanish men would wear to work in summertime.
* I need some kind of device to remind me that there is an open bottle of wine in my fridge to be drunk.
* I have just downloaded the complete works of Black Tambourine.
* I have dates, walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips, and cooking chocolate just waiting to be used. But I still have choc chip cookies and mini chocolate cakes to be eaten. Life is hard.
* I went to the post office to collect Adorno's Aesthetic Theory, but it was shut. I don't know if they were on strike or had gone home early.
Other:
* Some time ago I tried to post on twitter that a woman in front of me on the bus was reading a book called Delivering Knock Your Socks Off Service, but it didn't update.
* I am never going to the art library.
* I keep inventing ideas for short stories but only writing about 2 sentences. Now my stupid essay (on how the Dadaists could have taught Damien Hirst a thing or two about publicity, with added marxist aesthetic theory) is done, I have no excuse.
