Mixed Diversions 49

By Justin G. on 25APR02WED

Longer than the DESCRIPTION but the same thing.

If needed, more expository text goes here.

1. Books
   • Finished The Notebook by Ronald Allen. I’m glad to have read it, there were many interesting things that are relevant to my interests. It doesn’t completely satisfy, and seems to omit rather seriously much investigation of the notebooks of scientists, engineers, and others dedicated to thought work. Perhaps that’s in a different book, a book directing its attention to more recent times. The emphasis here was on the early years of notebooks, which was indeed fascinating.
   • Abandoned Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I figure if I am not hooked after a hundred pages, I’m probably not going to be.
   • Continued The Work of Art by Adam Moss.
2. YouTube
   • New Imamu room.
3. Television
   • Finished The Residence. Maybe a bit wordy at times, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all.
   • More of The X-Files S2.
   • Il Gatopardo, on Netflix. What I noticed was how the mid-1800s period garb was very close–adjacent even–to the costumes in recent sci-fi shows such as Dune or Foundation.
4. Music
   • I hope Paul Kalkbrenner’s Studiosession #2 is good indication of what awaits in the rest of his channel. Also live @ CRSSD.
   • DigiTales II is really a tour of some files you can get for the Elektron Digitone II, but I enjoyed the performance. More.
   • More enjoyable Zelda Lo-Fi. Majora’s Mask extended.
   • Carbon Based Lifeforms Live Set at Tillsammans.
   • Resomat Mysterium.
   • Really good State Azure Livestream.
