Read Anthony Powell's "Dance to the Music of Time"
Untitled 16 months ago

Okay so I have read the first 6 novels. I did this over a few months, maybe half year, in which I was ultimately and totally enamoured with them Powell was a steady and immaculate genius, his style was the ideal style, his subjects were the perfect ones. My high thoughts for the series never left me, but I stopped reading them over a year ago. I wanna go back and finish them and im wondering if perhaps i shouldnt start back at the beginning? It wouldnt be anything of a pain now i consider it.



Learn to play the guitar
Untitled 16 months ago

Ive never felt very musical, at times ive been inspired briefly to play an instrument or become capable somehow of making music. But ive never been too concerned about it. Im still not too confident about my ability or potential here, but just recently I became mega excited about the prospect, with some help from Stefan, through some talking we did.



read schopenhauer
Untitled 16 months ago

In the campus library in Pensacola I read a few essays by Arthur Schopenhauer that had an absolutely profound impact on me for as much as three or four days. I want to go back and read the bulk of this man’s work. I also took a shameless joy in the anecdote of him kicking his mom down the stairs (as i remember it) after years of grudgery and bitter philosophical dispute.
