Days Seventeen to Twenty

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!

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:
