during the height of preposterous building regulations in our city of St. Paul.
Ah, the golden years...
I've never understood those narrow balconette thingies. Like, they're cutie on Airbnbs in like Portugal or whatever, but they don't seem practical at all. Still, you seem to have found a use, so kudos to you. Do you find the Elon bio is good? I've been meaning to read about him, but can't choose between the fifteen different bios that seem to be at bookstores. :D
I've been reading some essays by Emma Jung, and now I'm re-reading Zafon's Cemetery of Forgotten Books trilogy to get in a Barcelona mood.
Yeah, this building was built in 2005 and a building just went up across the street and they all have full-sized balconies. I try to turn my chair away from the building so I don't get too envious/pissed. Lol.
Walter Isaacson does an excellent job with the biography. It's neither a hit piece nor does it read like it was written by a fanboy, which I appreciate. It paints a pretty accurate picture of Elon's past and who he really is. I appreciate him more after reading it. I just wish America would value him more.
Oh nice! How are you liking them?
Sounds like what I'm looking for. It seems so many people are either one or the other. Gotta have a firm opinion on everything don't we?
:))) I'd wave. Just sit in the foldout, all cramped, and wave. Let them be uncomfortable for a change.
Fine. Emma is an easier writer than her husband, so it helped me get a better understanding on some basic Jungian concepts... And Zafon is one of my favorite writers. He's very melodramatic, but a stunning writer. Highly recommend if you haven't read him. :)
I highly recommend it. He's a polarizing figure in a particularly polarized time. I'm appalled by how few appreciate his accomplishments here in America during a time when we could really use something to unite us and give us something to believe in other than witnessing the decline of the empire and endless wars.
Haha, maybe I'll try the wave today...I'll probably end up on TikTok. I should buy some hind of funny hat to add to the effect.
I'll have to look more into those authors. I'm always searching for new and different things to read. : )
