On Friday I pre-ordered 2023 A trilogy by the JAMS and ordered
Classic GI Joe vols 6 and 7. Part of me is thinking “GI Joe!!! That’s just a glorified
advert for toys”, but the reality is that Larry Hamas stories are really good
and entertaining and carry you through. Plus I feel slightly bad about teasing
adults who read Harry Potter!
The JAMS aka The KLF aka two many names to list here aka
Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_KLF) have had a huge impact on me, from the music I
listen to my beliefs, and are a constant inspiration. So much so that I should
write a separate piece about them.
On Saturday I spent 50 mins on the phone getting my Office
365 fixed! I thought I had installed it right the first time, but no I can’t
save or print anything, so I reinstalled and re-reinstalled and no joy. So, I left
my number on the Office 365 support page and they called me back in 30 seconds
and (after 50 mins) a very helpful guy sorted out the problem and
re-re-reinstalled a working copy of Office
365.
Worked some more on my application, but it was for naught as
the job I was hoping to apply for closed early as they had received enough applications.
Just goes to show that you did to strike when the iron is hot! At least I have
text ready for the next application.
Sunday was basically a typical lazy Sunday, reading the papers
and listening to music, mostly the Brian Jonestown Massacre. From their early
work (Spacegirl and Other Favorites) to their latest album (Third World Pyramid).
You can see a real consistently and growth from the early BJM songs to the latest
songs and there’s a new album out on Friday! Oh happy day! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brian_Jonestown_Massacre)
On Monday, The Thing: The Expanded Soundtrack arrived. John
Carpenter’s The Thing is one of my favourite films, it is tight, suspenseful, horrific
and has a great soundtrack that heightens the claustrophobia and paranoia.
So-so on the crossword and Sudoku front:
