I've been thinking lately about taking up writing. Not in any serious way; just because I always wanted to, and never really did. But I was just reading 'Rabbit, Run' and thinking "how could anyone ever hope to improve their writing after having read writing this good?" I don't truly believe that it's not worth trying if you'll never be as good as John Updike; my real point is that Rabbit, Run is very good so far. I'm only 55 pages in, but have already been impressed by several passages.

But now that both of my stereo amps got fried (on the same day!), I've assembled myself an audio system out of two cans of Pringles chips — which you can turn into Bluetooth speakers by attaching… well, a speaker to them — which act as tweeters and a bass combo amp acting as a subwoofer and all of this shite in ensemble is responsible for mids… I have to admit with a bit of tuning it started sounding more or less bearable, yet… it's still quite disgusting 😖

Using a dedicated large diameter speaker just for the low end is a bit novel to me: I've never owned these "surround" thingies, always preferring a decent stereo system instead. Except for when my audio equipment broke down and a colleague lend me some of his with a dedicated subwoofer — that that was long time ago and I didn't use it for long.

BTW, this is Cruzan, like the rum. He’s my youngest son’s cat. I just spent the morning re-hanging the curtains in my family room due to an unfortunate Cruzan mishap.

He remains a very good boy though.
