Migraine is an interesting read. I liked how it approached the idea forgetting is essential to formation of the self.

I last saw him when he was in Birmingham for the Literature Festival two years ago. We had a good conversation about God. I'll miss him.

Leabharlann is such a satisfying word to say.

I don't think that's a symptom

Any particular variety of soup?

Particularly one who lives with me

I re-interviewed for my current job with the same application, plus a single extra paragraph. About ten months had passed in between. I'd only overhaul it if they'd given actionable feedback the first time I think.

I had one last night through IG... an "illustrator" with an AI written pitch

Congratulations :)

It's the neatest explanation, and anything that accounts for Bond having multiple faces/biographical details over many decades automatically accommodates a death too. But it's also just not a series historically interested in sense - there is poor continuity even between films with the same Bond!

I generally like Horowitz's writing, but haven't read his Bond novels. His continuity-driven literalism in this quote is making me wonder if they take place in residential care because canonically Bond must be about hundred years old by now. And I would read that!

Funnily enough when I picked up the phone to a customer today he replied "Oh! I wasn't expecting anyone to answer."

Yes. I'm always happy to watch Harry Dean Stanton, too.

I still enjoy it, largely as a combination of nostalgia/unintentional laughs/Spader being incongruously camp and sleazy. The soundtrack is still good. But it doesn't stand up well as a film with any relevance to young people.

Agreed, although I don't necessarily trust people's account of what their therapist said.

This is indirectly how I ended up in hand bookbinding. I needed a run of books produced and the mainstream, highly limited options for materials were so poor (in ways that would only show up over time) I thought sod it, at least I can buy good paper if I do it myself.

Oh I'd forgotten this 😂
