And someone had asked for dance classes.
So I hope that they bring this in.

How I did it: I got this idea following the articles on Cracked.com about pictures you would not believe are not photoshopped, then I just discovered things which I thought were interesting like carved fruit or fruit arranging on a par with fine flower arrangements. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I reread the Routledge Classics edition which was the copy I had read the first time I read this book. I had been thinking about making this an annual thing, you know the way there are some people who choose books and say they plan to reread them annually at least or quarterly. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I set this goal to finish this book, to actually read it from cover to cover instead of reading chapters at random as they took my fancy on the other occasions which I have tried reading this book. Read how I did it…
A little over a stone in weight I will be fit enough to brave the local swimming pool again.
Then it will be time to get this done. So looking forward to it.
And after that on to plunge pools, ocean and wild swimming.
And I’m bringing it back.
It is a collosal time suck but it also is self-defeating in a lot of other ways, the levels of discussion online are just slightly better than most of the opportunities offline, some are a lot worse.
For me personally it just brings home to me that while I dont meet that many intellectual people offline that the intellectual people who’re available online to discuss things with are not that thoughtful or interested in thinking things out from all angles. Nope. Most of the time its all about trying to find myriad ways of shoring up prejudice, emoting and rationalising after the fact.
All in all that’s pretty disappointing and depressing, so I’m going to forget it and ignore it as best I can. Concentrate on something else instead.
