Awesomeness

There is, strangely enough, many reasons to be very optimistic about everything. How i came about such optimism is to me somewhat odd, but i hope i'll be able to take it in stride. Anyways, the last week or two has been retro enough. Working out at Uggdal Fysikalske is something we haven't done since 2008, but it's interesting to try out the old routine again. Punching and kicking a medicine ball is surprisingly entertaining. The only problem is that we need a proper volleyball. The conversations are interesting as well, which is a good thing. Robie House is coming along nicely, it's fun to stand and work on it, though i think it might beb somewhat problematic to my back in the long term. I will have to figure out another way of doing it to be on the safe side. tonAtom provides a nice background noise, and i'm over halfway through their release-archive! Other than that i've listened to an Endless Ascent release which was beyond awesome (as always), and i've gone through some HeadphoneCommutes. I got a nice batch of recommendations from the latest Gramophone, which i am looking forward to playing with. linuxfromscratch is in chapter 7 now, and everything seems to be progressing nicely. i want to take a short hiatus from it though, because i just borrowed "The German Genius" at the library and i really want to read that as soon as possible. The La Trobe U. lectures on the European Union has been very enlightening, and can be recommended to everybody. I'm also about to finish off the last lecture in the series on "Capitalism: Success, Crisis and Reform" which i've spent quite some time with. (Just please do not ask me how much i remember. That isn't what it's about (yet)). Codeacademy is fun, and we'll see how that fares over the next few weeks. And i just signed up to two courses on logic and mathematical thinking that start sometime in september. (Because i have so much time to spare you know....!) It shall be a charmed autumn indeed.
