clocks

ugh the clocks go back tonight.
misery, disaster and me trying to remember to make sure i have changed everything. (oh that will be the mobile phone then as i don't use an of the other timepieces i have for anything else...)

talking of timepieces i have finally started neal stephenson's system of the world. the reason i mention it is the fact he has begun to talk a lot about time, watches and clocks.
so far it has proved to be as good as the previous two books.
stephenson has become one of my favourite writers. soon i think i will go back and read all his work again!

though for some odd reason i have a hankering to revisit a heap of authors (it could be that i have their books and it is cheaper than buying new ones, or it could be nostalgia....) but i also have a desire to go into a bookshop and buy some new stuff as well.

i have decided it is the buying and having of something that is more important than the reading it or listening to it.

how marx (karl not groucho) would hate me.
