oops! all cherished childhood memories
the day my millennial nostalgia died was the day i realised my cherished childhood memory of the period that the disney’s aladdin cartoon played at 6PM so that i could watch it while eating dinner alone was actually very sad

day nineteen, up to p554, start of Chapter 119. you don’t have to be crazy to crew the Pequod, but it hel- hm. wait a moment. maybe you do…
the first new working will be the “sit and read fiction working”, where i will read for an hour every day for 108 days. this is to help me develop taste again before i go back and edit things from the “sit and write something working”.
day nineteen, to p259, note on Numbers 20:14. i’d started thinking about how much God seemed to like Aaron, but then i finished with Aaron’s death, so i guess there were limits.
the second new working will be the first task-limited rather than time-limited working, the “sit and read holy books” working, or at least the first one. i will read the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible for an hour a day until it is finished. more holy books will follow in the future.
more serious version: aces - foundation of solution 2s - first order intuition 3s - first order analysis 4s - first order balanced solution 5s - overthinking/argument 6s - thesis 7s - emerging antithesis 8s - considered antithesis 9s - emerging synthesis 10s - full synthesis
aces - good, mysterious twos - fine, who even knows? threes - fine, except if they’re not fours - good as it gets before… fives - suck shit, loser! sixes - it turned out okay sevens - choose your own adventure eights - also there nines - phew and/or ruh roh tens - great job!/at least you tried

day eighteen, to the start of p508. finally Ishmael has some backhanded compliments for whalers of other nations, but i found the whale facts of this session not as compelling.

at some point on this holiday, i gotta watch the entire “The Human Condition” trilogy in one day
watched “Contempt [Le Mépris]” (1963), and WHY IS HE WEARING HIS HAT IN THE FUCKING BATHTUB???? that must have been the reason for everything
day eighteen, up to p246, note on Numbers 12:1. i had wondered about complaining about just eating manna, but i’d though that would start into the many years of wandering, not when it seemed like a direct journey. also, sometimes i feel like God has a sense of humour, maybe a little sarcasm?

the Meat Loaf song “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”, but instead it’s one out of three, and actually it’s a probability that is greater than zero but much less than one, and it’s okay actually, because who can afford all three in this economy anyway?
thinking of making a 4 hour epic called “INTERMISSION” it’s just a montage of famous movie intermissions. there of course would be an original intermission for the audience.

i think one of the more frustrating things about recruitment for neurodivergent people is that we know some neurotypical insisted on lots of questionable details in the job ad but also that some other neurotypical will say they don’t matter and another will say they do to deny a neurodivergent a job
day seventeen, to the very start of p465. once again, fuck you, Stubb. poor Pip ☹️ and Ishmael? stop talking about squeezing sperm and how great it is, we get it already.

day seventeen, to p233, Numbers 3:40. i finished Leviticus and am now in the initial census and beginning of the march. love the serendipity of reading about this census with one week until the local census.

zach from aunty donna has been looking quite hot lately, has anyone else noticed this?
we have declared your software legacy. pray we do not deprecate it further.
watched “The Dirties” (2023), Matt Johnson’s first feature, and i am way more jealous of making this film for $10,000. that guy just understands the value of showmanship and daring, but with the restraint to only milk it enough to make up for the lack of budget. elite working within limitations.
Interesting insight into this: Incredibly successful tv host Graham Norton said, when he was a kid, he didn’t want to be an interviewer - he wanted to be the person interviewed. So, even a guy who seems kinda destined to be a tv host didn’t think he wanted that job.
we can all agree that someone whose childhood ambition was to become a TV show host is a sociopath, right?
watched “Following” (1998), Nolan’s first feature, and i have to admit that i’m jealous of the ability to make that on a £6000 budget. it’s got problems, but it’s wringing every single penny for all its worth.
