Havel is one of the heroes of The White Pill so I was excited to read this, since he was a writer. It is almost offensively bad and frankly disrespectful to the reader. The book alternates between the transcript of an interview between Havel and a journalist and Havel's diary--the entirety of which is totally banal and isnt even in chronological order. We hear him stressing about having to write a speech but not about why or what its contents are--or whether it ended up working out. Worse, a few one-paragraph entries are repeated verbatim throughout, though to what point I have no idea. Absolutely awful book.
We got a Christmas tree! It is a truly beautiful tree--i feel very blessed we found it. I can't wait to decorate it, but we've got 2 sick kids right now. Maybe tomorrow...
Also some Caturday photos. From the Zoo to our very own felines (Pickle & Beans), Merry Christmas to all y'all!
Milo, George Santos, and Tim (with maybe 2 words from Phil and Ian) arguing about Candace for 2 hours. I actually loved this-- very entertaining! But it's Milo so that's to be expected...
I was gifted a pasta attachment for my KitchenAid mixer and finally put it to the test last night with a batch of fettuccine. It was SO good.
Time wise not too bad, other than you need to plan in advance for the dough to rest 30-45 min before rolling it out. The actual rolling and cutting was quick.
Bonus that I also made it through another round of my leftover romas from my garden (still have about one more meals worth to process, good grief it never seems to end).
