Trolling? No
Giving an abridged opinion with no context or explanation? Absolutely!

I am intrigued about The Glass Bead Game from your description. But is it a hard read?

It's a sequel XD so not the easiest to gift

We're looking after them for my sister who's moving back to the UK. So these two have just come off a flight.
Not sure how long they'll be staying either, as it'll be until my sister sorts out a place to live that allows pets, so it could be a while

Ha ha! Yes. I'm fully expecting them to be charging up and down the house at 3am.
At least this evening they'll probably be hiding while they get used to a new place

Yeah, usually I'd stick a TODO comment on it so I can just easily pick it up later.
However, I know for this specific thing I'll be using it a bunch & it's faster to write the whole thing now, while I remember why I've written the function parts the way I have, than reread it & add something later 😅

But the original "Make it good later" isn't about making *good* art so much as it's about actually finishing making something - don't get distracted by making it good/perfect, make it exist first (then you can decide how much polish to add if you want to)

Good! The sun is shining! I picked some strawberries and raspberries to add to my cereal for breakfast.
Got my first orchestra session after the Summer break this evening. And a chill day of work in between.
Hope you're doing well x

Especially with streaming these days, there's less incentive for artists to focus on albums, as people can pick individual songs to stream or buy.
Love when you do get a consistently good album of the music someone wanted to make at that time

Yeah, soundtracks are usually the only thing I end up listening to all the way through. There's usually one or two tracks on a band album that I'll skip

At least the traffic was good for something
