Made time to finish Pot-Bouille. Another experiment in narrative structure, this time about what can be a protagonist: a building, turned inside out and brought to "fall flat", uncompromising in its depiction of the bourgeois morality/cosmology. Every lurch of emotion turned cold.

Hands and handshaking are recurrent symbols in Metaphor's overarching theme of enabling (collective) praxis & accomplishing meaning, and I LOVE IT

To sit within a fragrant breeze
All among the nodding trees
That hang heavy with the stuff

Sacrificed my weekend on the altar of Python. Unpopular opinion: I don't like it.

- you see a variable; is it an int, a float, a string? Who knows!
- there are no arrays, only "lists"
- no standard for loop (I have to make a function for custom steps??)
- forced into indentation

My share of the prize after ~2 hours of hardass digging at community garden

Right is marshmallow root, others are horseradish root. I'm big on horseradish and excited to make my own
