Thursday 5:20 AM


 I have to admit that getting up this early isn’t so easy with Jenny here.  She keeps me up way past my bed time.

WC fallout: I enjoyed the tournament and found the final to be enthralling.  I often myself cheering for justice and drama.  The circus and soap opera aspects of football suck me in..

Two other books I have recently acquired



 The first book I have been stealing passages from and placing in this blog.  I heard of the book reading David Warren’s Essays in Idleness Blog.  The book, apparently, was an inspiration for the blog’s title.  To retire to a secluded hut in order to meditate, write and contemplate.  That would be a life…

The second book I also heard of from DW’s EiI blog. The other book of aphorisms I heard of thanks to EiI were those of NGD.

I got the books on Amazon.

Found this book in a Brandon Thrift Shop



 Only cost me two CAD.

 I overslept this morning.

Monday 10:45 PM


 The calm of the evening ruined by drunken idiots swearing and screaming as loud as possible.  Brandon, sadly, has a vulgar barbarian underbelly that the authorities are loath to admit exists.

Monday 3:50 PM


 Very unsettled weather today.

This could be intetesting

 I have an upcoming online class with an Argentinian living in Madrid.  Should I even broach the subject of the game?

Later: I did broach the topic.  It turned out that she has spent half her life in Spain and half in Argentina.  Her husband is Spanish.  Her children are born in Spain.  So, her loyalty was split.  Turned out as well that talking to her about her product was more interesting than taking about the game anyway.  She sold premium yogurt to retailers like Carrefour and Costco and Walmart in and around Spain.

Monday 6:20 AM


 Now, things started getting interesting which could mean more irksome, or just more bizarre.
