Lots about music
Aug. 3rd, 2005 01:40 pmI can't help but notice I seem to be posting a lot of things here about music and so on, not much about my actual life... Hmmm... Actual life... Hmmm... Not sure I want the world to hear everything that goes on with me, especially since most of it is mundane.
Got up, fought with marge, ate insanity peppers... oooook...
I'm trying to read Jean-Paul Satre's Nausea, which is proving heavy going. It's written in a fairly old-fashioned style, and so far seems to exclusively revolve around the thoughts of a... Well, I guess he's an historian... Maybe it the translation that makes it so dry, maybe it's the era, maybe its a french thing, or maybe it's Satre himself. It's also possible I've read so much fast-paced modern crap (an orgasm every ten pages) that a subtle slow novel from the 1940s(?) just doesn't grab me.
On an unrelated note, the last book I actually bought from Amazon was the delightfully titled "On Bullshit", a philisophical discussion about bullshit and why there seems to be so much around. Haven't finished it yet either... Hmmmm... What have I been doing with my spare time??? Too bloody much, that's for sure!
Ok, back to work...
