I was in the library and it was quiet.

Earlier I got a phone call and left the library to take the call outside despite other people talking and even others talking on their phones.

It was windy outside.

This morning I watched an episode of Tintin. Much of the episode storyline was used in the recent film. It's where Tintin first meets captain haddock. Snowy finds a tin a crab meat (crabe extra).

Here is how I rate all the snowy incarnations:
1/ BD (book) version of snowy where you are told what he is thinking.
2/ cartoon version of snowy where he barks a lot and is quite expressive.
3/ film snowy, who is just like there I guess, just being a deus ex machina.

I've spent hardly any time in the library this year.

I like to set my timer while I'm working so that I know I can definitely have a break once the timer has finished.

They have a book of letters by Samuel Beckett in the library. I was looking through the chronology of it earlier. Seems like it took him a long time to get Watt published. Like I don't even think I found out when it was published. Just seemed like he sent it to a lot of publishers and they said no. Seems like Simone de Beauvoir rejected something by him and then was like writing him letters asking for stuff to publish once his trilogy of books was picked up and georges bataille wrote a sweet essay on Molloy.
