'looking forward to the new series...'
- paul clark, 9 years ago, as horsemouth moves out of his flat in pop(U)lar.
'hope you ready for the next episode...' - dr. dre, snoop dogg, nate dogg.
horsemouth has recommended albert camus' the plague to howard, largely because he has been reading it himself just recently and is finding it really good this time.
'where some saw abstractions others saw the truth'
- albert camus, the plague.
horsemouth has been rereading this (as you know). he listened to a podcast on it that basically said the metaphors don't work (the plague isn't the germans etc.). that may be so, and yet the novel itself works (and works well). it shifts between the concrete and the abstract.
of course when the pandemic happened there was another reason to read it (and sometimes horsemouth will find parallels).
on sunday horsemouth was asked what his plans for the week were and he was a bit stumped
because he doesn't really have any plans.
next week, abbey rota week, it's a bit more obvious.
this week he has to find some headphones so he can listen to some new stuff of howard's.
er. he may have to do a meeting tomorrow morning. wednesday the eggs. thursday the bell-ringing. etc.
the final electricity and gas bill has arrived for the house in the wen - horsemouth will have to have a think about how to divide up the reimbursements (depending on how much people have actually paid). he will need to have a chat with his brother about moving stuff.
in good news they've managed to eat half the marrow that horsemouth brought down at the house in the wen (so perhaps horsemouth will bring down another one when he is next down).
some friends are in town 10th of september. that may be the last time horsemouth needs to be up for a while. they're around for two-ish weeks or so.
soon horsemouth will have to test whether friend's offers of places to stay are fruitful or not.
ok so this morning a meeting (maybe). looks like it will be a good day.
