Reading short stories of Hobb/Lindholm. Funny mention of both a cello and being too poor to afford a synthesizer, right as once again I'm looking at old analog hardware synths on ebay. I'm going to regret it my whole life if I don't get one. Just the not knowing.... Although it would have been damm nice if I could have just played around with one that someone else owned somewhere at some point in my life. But nope, literally decades without that ever happening. Right now looking at the roland juno-6. Not the 60 because without patches maybe I'll really get good at making sounds. And not the 106 because I'm doing this for ultimate sound and the 106 is said to not sound as good. The 106 does have midi while the 6 and 60 don't... I may have to cover the walls of my "music studio" in foam.

Really like Hobb/Lindholm as I've already mentioned. So far a story about an alien that can make any sound and generally sounded like a cello that turned a kids mom into a hopeless junkie, then got killed, then his little sister gets stolen. Secondly a story about a fortyish man named Merlin. Hobb spends a lot of time talking about her own life between stories, which I would think I'd really dislike but find myself not minding. Maybe since she's female???? (Along with intelligent and 'nice'.)

I also didn't mind seeing/hearing JV Jones. But then she's british and really good looking.

Further August Strindberg. From this must admit:

Finally actually reading him thanks to kindle. Read the play Comrades so far, which is about two married painters, ending with the husband divorcing the shitty wife. They say Strindberg hated women. This play certainly looks that way. But they say he simply used the people around him and this is just what was around him.

And continuing Lovecraft. Now starting the Call of Cthulu. Lovecraft is just this haze. It's not a given story. It's the overall feel. Like with Jack Vance actually to a large extent. I picture Mr. Lovecraft himself as the main character in each story. Usually alone, in the dark, and walking through these passageways to the eldritch.

Using the reading function on kindle a lot. All those words spoken outloud that no one in my real world will ever say.
