Sounds, a playlist for reading and sleeping

PINNED

This is bookended with Max Richter's Sleep, which is musical, the rest in-between are just sounds of nature and appliances and stuff that can block out unwanted sounds which you cannot control, hence provided some alleviation. After the 2nd... See More »

It was and is necessary

Self sabotage that is, to make it logical to ring the death knell of cyber addiction. I've enjoyed a bit of privilege here, and at the risk of sounding pat and insincere I can say I have visited that realm as a traveler would say they saw Rome or... See More »

The doc in my head is prescribing massive amounts of Dickensian dramaturgy

As documented for the end of last year and the beginning of this year I was steeped in disturbing material, long term that kind of stuff would drive me clinically nuts, but a little bit prepares me to embrace (long term) a beloved author. CHARLES... See More »

Glenn Gould playing Bach

Glenn Gould is and was my favorite Canadian, world renowned pianist, eccentric, I like how he hummed while playing, some of these recordings may have taken those out because some people seem to think it mars the experience. Music for reading year... See More »

Sunday evening cogitations

I'm switching over to the KJV instead of NRSV, to get that iconic phraseology into my heart and soul. Marcus Aurelius' Meditations with extensive footnotes by Robin Waterfield is an all timer, I'm considering putting a little bit of effort into... See More »

It went well .... better than expected

and brought back a couple wraps from Tim Hortons, brother taking the car with him, he said I should rent the parking spot to have a bit more income!! He read to dad a great poem when we were all sitting and standing around his bed, quite moving, and... See More »

Less than an hour till we head off to the hospital

To inform dad on what is happening, he just called too and I let him know we're coming, even here his words are off, he first says "oh are they back from their holidays already?" and then "i'm 15 minutes away". The latter indicates he's daily... See More »

Escaping sounds best to me

Not very noble of me for sure, but it feels deep down that for the sake of optimal mental health, I have to try to forget what is going on in the world. I won't be watching TV channels anymore, so nothing upsetting the mind there, and when I watch... See More »

I got myself some eBooks last night

It's hard to keep good news to myself, I figured that I've currently just got a small amount, before the check that is being delayed by a postal strike, I'd get some stuff for my Kobo because of these factors: My free source has bit the dust and... See More »

This will be how it'll be for me for awhile

For the most part I take a break from SWeeping in order to re-fuel thoroughly with reading etc, all solitary activities, and perhaps when it runs it's course initially for at least the rest of January, there would be an ability to string words along... See More »

Now begins my resting time until Saturday

Went well with brother, gave what I could muster for dad and his future home wherever that will be, brother will have to be seeing him 3 times a week, so the options we're giving are all closer to where he lives and I'd be taken once a month to see... See More »

My favorite collection

What makes mince meat of my film collection, are the books, leaning heavily on the eBook format of course, I shall slowly edit in a condensed list of it, using phrases, and sentences of varying quality of the haphazard nature of the moment they were... See More »

Background sounds for SW and reading

It'll fit anything, be it reading about the childhood of Jim Jones, or the lovely people here, you'll sure be brought into whatever it is with these rolling and bubbling configurations in terms I have not a good enough internal thesaurus for. A... See More »

3 Jeff Guinn true crime bios/histories I wanna read in these winter months

The sting I'll feel won't be the chill outdoors, but the savagery of the demented human heart.

5 sandwiches, 12 chilis and 25 cokes coming on Saturday

I just have 30 in cash and a cheque still on the way which will be a little over 100, gonna be tight!! I need my tooth infection back so I can fast!! I tried ordering my pizza but it went to a Visa page asking for confirmation code, I didn't get a... See More »

Bedtime before afternoon

In about 27 hours my brother will be here and I might get a meal out of it, I thus have to take some pills so that I get all rested up. I had a fantastic time with you people and my movies etc. Don't worry be happy, went a popular song back in the... See More »

I'm about 15 sips away from a long sleep

I'm in a kind of heaven folks, watching Fellini's Roma, and chain smoking, this is THE LIFE!! The more I talk (type) the less dignified I will be, so be grateful for how little I say, but know that I treasure SW, group hugs all around, with well... See More »

Will you be watching Romance movies for Valentines?

My go to films for this are Before Sunrise Before Sunset In the Mood for Love Ali: Fear Eats the Soul and L'Atalante

The film that started it all for me in 2005

I had never seen anything like this when I first saw it, remains special in my mind, Fellini's Roma is his ode to his homeland using surreal vignettes to evoke wondrous vitality and a little of the bizarre.

The culinary answer to everything is cheese

Others include bacon and chocolate. When we evaluate our lives we must take into consideration certain things, and when we know, I mean truly know what directives there are, we can make decisions much more simply. Go for the cheese, the browned... See More »

The way you decide upon something is just a sliver of what it means

You get that epiphany on something and you think that is all there is to it, but it's just a part of it, allow others to have their own version of what that thing means. Reduce your own importance, attain balance, cease being a superficial voice... See More »

Whatever ends in sex is bad news

Sex is a beautiful part of the life of love, but what lasts, what makes love last, is not sex, but being there through it all, despite what is being done, talking, watching boring programs, travelling, you name it. When people only talk about sex,... See More »

The poetic angle must be preserved

What we experience can effect us in a number of ways, what I strongly endorse is that we apply a poetic way of processing it all, with this ability you can soar like an eagle.

What a virtual hug means to me

It means that I care, and wish to convey some bit of solace to whomever, where a real life hug would be potentially seen as crossing a boundary. Online I hug more than I would in real life if I had the kinds of people here to populate it. You are,... See More »
