Dammit, I’m going to have to find out how to do Amazon, Netflix, whatever streaming is, god I need a college student to help me (and help me with TV too).

Maybe it’s better in French, like porn.

when I’m re-reading Harry Potter books I skip the quidditch and most of the youthful hijinks, but whne I’m reading in a foreign language I feel obligated to read the whole thing. Except in Latin.

They have quickie-healie meds now, so next week he’ll be as good as new.

They lost me at the chained woman.

“I like that Prax is starting to assimilate some of Amos’s attitudes. He might’ve much nicer upbringing but now he can push corpses out of the way with the best of them.”

Hm... I’ve been involuntarily celibate (whatever that means, I guess it means I haven’t propositioned anyone or received any invitations) for 6 years, yet I’ve never felt like running around shooting the opposite sex or running people over.

Yes, I was much impressed by Mr. Blanky, who was a cipher until last week. I am also interested to see what becomes of the “Is he or isn’t he” fellow who was given the book written by Xenophon. Maybe I should look at Xenophon myself...
