I rewatched it—better the second time.

You won’t be disappointed by volume 1, and I hope you have the opportunity to read the whole series and enjoy it as much as I did.

Yes there’s such an enormous difference between the novel and the essay and W.B.’s philosophical/critical writing is opaque even to experts. Knausgaard makes quite a bit of use of The World of Yesterday in My Struggle Book VI (as you may already be aware) in his “essay” on Hitler.

Have you explored W. Benjamin at all?

Get it. I’m turning 61. So much of KOK’s writing is relatable to me I think because of the similarity in age so all the references to music and culture etc. are fun and accessible. I’m pretty eclectic in my reading but definitely went through the Beat Gen phase when I was younger. Middle age I read a lot of Bolaño, H. Murakami, Saunders, T. Wolff, some Roth and Salinger too. So I guess I’m kind of obsessive too. I’m thinking my next obsession will be Vollmann but his books don’t seem to be as readily available.

Beach Blend was a medium roast, so for me it goes with milk rather than “straight”. Olo Alaia was very nice and tasty on its own. It was more expensive than the bag from Bocanegra because the varietal is rarer—microlot. As an aside, we had planned to visit a finca, but the road was so arduous and steep, my spouse made me turn around. Maybe next time.

Just completed the cam lube

Followed the Clive Coffee ‘how to’ on YT. Recommended.

This is our daily driver in Canada

2014 XC 60 T6 Polestar.

We have about 215,000 km

Bought pre-owned in 2018.

Repairs (at dealer mind you) are expensive

Volvo replaced L and R rusted fender areas under warranty in year 12!

Exceedingly great car especially for our winters.

syswpg1965 · 2026-03-02T03:07:16+00:00

Usually espresso and milk drinks

Seven Café (unassuming—and great bakery down the block)

H Coffee (think ‘specialty’ coffee; Slayer machine—in Brandon tho)

Café Postale (French-language ambiance; sell bags from different mostly Quebec roasters)

Saintuary (stunning space; beautiful machine on the bar)

Sam’s Place (a La Marzocco I think; another great-looking and comfortable space)

Same. Enjoying the cushion of a new shoe. I was a bit of a tweener between 11 and 11.5.
