Miscellanous Ramblings end Esoterica

When is it time to start Christmas shopping? No matter what year you consider, the answer is always "Two weeks ago". I'm stealing from Henry Beard and Leslie Nielsen but it is a good answer! Still, as always, I have a nice stack of books lined up to buy for people and an insufficient budget. Shopping around shall commence!

Today has been an interesting day with an awesome fan commentary that we just recorded for 'Innerspace' of 1987, a favourite movie of mine from before the Great Depression and which I now love all over again. I'd forgotten how Martin Short was awesome in this movie, managing happiness and sadness at the same time and being generally great and doing some amazing stunts. This movie deserves a full review and it shall come!

While November continues to be cold and grimy there is at least hope on the horizon as the Winter Solstice approaches, that time when the days shorten no longer and the psychological burden lifts. It is quite unusual to be afflicted from solstice to solstice instead of the winter months in general but I'm an unusual person. We're all unusual people, and it's only when we try to generalise that it all goes to pieces. Generalisation outside of Mathematics is bad, I think.

Looking back on the last week, I can see it has been full of disruption and minimal work. There's a problem with unemployment benefit in that one feels the need to 'earn' it and I spend far too much time applying for positions and writing the long long statements instead of doing the work which would really help. The same rationale could be put forward for the radio station in Carmarthen and I feel big decisions looming. Of course all these pressures could be eased by giving up Minecraft... Blast this ridiculous compulsion and exhaustion!

Coming up on the Quirky Muffin:
Movie - 'Innerspace' 1987
Prose - More 'Night Trials'
Novel - 'Going Postal' by Terry Pratchett

Please note I am perfectly willing to dump any of this content in preference toward drivel!
