isn't this supposed to be the summer

'so as to make use of my leisure periods in this foreign country, I feel like writing a short memoir about what happened to me during my last trip to paris, from 21st june 1821 to ** november 1830...'

- stendhal, memoirs of an egotist.

it is a fragment. abandoned. he started writing it on the 20th of june 1832. it was written over the next 13 days. 

there is a match up with the times we are about to enter. horsemouth will return to it then. 

doris lessing, erich auerbach, both discuss stendhal's character. both discuss his relationship to the times and to the pursuit of happiness. 

horsemouth has listened to music off an actual CD

this is probably the first time he has listened to music off his CDs in about 3 years (possibly more).

ok no he was listening to musicians of bremen stuff while he had the hi-fi set up in the green house. 

he had not remembered that his double CD of geechie recollections and sweet earth flying by marion brown actually starts with geechie recollections. he was surprised when it came on first. he has a drawer full of CDs that he brought soon after he came to the wilds. his current plan is to bring more (and then there are his records!!!). 

right now he's listening to dave webb's techno dub show from new river studios from off the internet. 

he has inflicted CDs of musicians of bremen volume three and volume four  on one of his neighbours. time will tell how that goes down. 

ok it's a grey morning with rain forecasted for later. (isn't this supposed to be the summer).
