You be the judge: should my partner stop compressing the coffee in the moka pot?
Hamad thinks his method enhances the flavour. Lucia says he’s breaking all the sacred rules. Who needs to wake up and smell the coffee?

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Can't beat a bit of old Shakey. Read it out, that change of pace (meter?) in the penultimate line.
For some reason had this popping unbidden into my thoughts this week, to the extent I had to look it up & obviously it's Shakespeare. I wonder if it was like this in his head all the time, an ongoing stream of uncanny verbal music

I have three records named after phrases from just that passage. Like bits of Hamlet and Macbeth, it almost reads like a collage of famous lines

When Paris was full of cinemas, the Surrealists used to go and see five minutes of one picture, move to another cinema, watch a bit of their fil, and so on, making one weird movie in their groovy minds.
