springcleaning, still at it getting there slowlyBreaking Bad just getting towards the end of the 5th series after starting at the beginning about a week and a half ago. Unfortunately my dvd recorder has managed to shut itself and refuse to open. It's set up to shut the drawer after 10 minutes but up to now I've managed to have a disc in or have it open somehow but it has been sticking for ages. Very frustrating so I'm not into it. Having to watch episodes on my computer now when I prefer watching things on tv. Qawal's Indian food he had a gazebo set up yesterday to keep customers dry but it kept nearly lifting off in the wind. He does a lovely onion Bhaji and pretty much everything else is tasty. Curry was really zingy yesterday.Manchild In the Promised Land by Claude BrownVeep series 1, don't think it's as great as Iannucci's british stuff but has a lot of great moments.Thinking about getting a bagless vacuum cleaner. Since I have to get bags mailorder for my current one. Finally having a table that's large enough to work on so think I will finally set up the sewing machine I bought last year when I finally get this springcleaning finished.Repetition for emphasis.Rearranging material on my hard drives.the endless, though interrupted, sunny weather. Which looks great from my window. Losing vitamin D from not further investigating it.

monoton / monotonprodukt 07 from 82 is the most astonishingly ahead-of-its-time 80s electronic lp, it sounds like something CoH was doing 20 years later

stevie, you should get into risotto! it's a really relaxing way to cook, imo

xpost well, yeah, but if you know that going in, you just crack open a book or a bottle of wine or you have a friend over who you can chat to while you stir, it's totally not stressful if you just get into the zen of the repetitive stirring motion

i guess the the internet is kinda a limiting way of understanding people but i would def be surprised knowing stevie wasn't a risotto person. & yeah too much stirring is the point; obviously don't do it if you're in a rush, do it when you just wanna spend all evening in the kitchen while it gets dark outside, be half stirring, once in a while tending to some vegetable that's gonna get involved, listening to both sides of a tape, &c

i've listened to a lot of shit in my dog-eared time and never once has 'riot in lagos' sounded less than inspirationally captivating and totally out on its own. without question one of the best records ever, or indeed evah
the thing about risotto is its chill autumnal reputation is somewhat overstated imo? like it's p attention-intensive and by the time you've tasted it enough to get the rice just à point you're already kinda sated b4 the platings-up. and yeah you can make it earlier but then there's an additional concern of reheating without recooking but still maintaining stirring consistency. shit's an undertaking man

wait bake what now

have had more bad risottos than good ones, i'd have to say, not by my own hand, i don't really eat cheese if i can avoid it.
been doing morning work-outs with kettlebell lately, and eating a proper breakfast as opposed to just a banana. i'm finding myself really buzzing by the time i get into work.

I want to buy that on a cheap wooden decorative plaque from Kohl's
I have made it before but just not in a v long time. I will look into this at once.
"Riot in Lagos" kind of freaks me out bcz nothing from 1980 should sound like that
― Stevie D(eux), Tuesday, 29 October 2013 11:27 (ten years ago) link
yeah but otoh one of the best things about it is it getting picked up on as an electro breakdance party record - the international crossover retrospectively enhances the telecoms-come-to-life vibe

i don't think i get manuel gottsching. feel like he is maybe kind of proto-minimal techno? like just using technology that doesn't allow him to create that space between the different elements? but idk, every track on e2-e4 has *exactly* the same beat + bassline and it's like a 2-second loop, kind of hard to listen to

-- fountain pens. I do not own any (yet), but have been researching.-- the association between bullying and suicidal behaviors, but only because I have to (for skool)-- Japanese and Taiwanese stationary stores to visit-- cooking down everything in the fridge/pantry in a meaningful and tasty manner

oh and:
-- meaningful Baja stickers with which to adorn El Trucko. I never thought I'd put bumper stickers/decals on a vehicle, but somehow this feels right

I was given a Retro 1951 Tornado fountain pen a few years ago for christmas, seriously great pen imohttp://www.retro51.com/fwi_tor_fountain.html
the cap is counterweighted, so when you uncap & put it on the end of the pen while you're writing it weights it perfectly, writes like a dream

i used to have one of those! the brand, a rollerball i think, not the fountain. it was such a fine pen, so nice to hold, but the refills were a pain to match off-brand sizes to.

Thanks VG and j.! I shall start a fountain pen/penmanship/assorted other handwriting stuff thread when I actually have some more coherent thoughts/experience with these things. In the meantime, I am working to correct a decades-long "claw-thumb/death grip" hold that third and fourth grade teachers tried very hard to correct. Sorry, Mr. Hardward and Ms. Triwertha. You were right :(
― quincie, Friday, 15 November 2013 06:10 (ten years ago) link
i tried to do that in grad school, so i could write a lot of cursive fast without my hand cramping, and for a while i did get into the habit of using a more relaxed grip, but i never got it to the point of not requiring concentration. now i'm thinking slower again anyway so it's no big whoop if i have to print several pages.
