October 12th
It’s been a bit! I have had a difficult few weeks and my desire to blog has been dropping. I’m not sure that I like the way that I have been managing it anyway, I think that there’s a better way to handle this and maybe say some more interesting things.
I’ve been reading in a bit of a disordered manner recently. Confucius and Helen Garner. Confucius because I would like to develop a sort of ‘working knowledge’ of Chinese philosophy in a way that’s similar to my knowledge of Ancient Greek stuff. Just enough familiarity to be able to parse when people might be bullshitting and to be able to draw some connections of my own when they’re appropriate. Garner because I love her prose.
Garner’s diaries also remind me of the point of keeping a diary. I wish that the comments I jot down were anywhere near as interesting.
