a morning. a grey december morning though.

 i started off sunday with

• putting on my pink nightgown
• the wool socks from work which were too large but i succesfully washed them smaller
• spraying on Maison Margiela's Sunday Morning
• lighting up Yankee Candle's Home Sweet Home - which has a really christmassy scent
• playing Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens/Yusuf

this was after i got up just as doctor laid down to sleep, he had a nightshift. yesterday when i got home from seeing Jessica and my goddaughter he was just about to head to work. so we are in opposing schedules for a few days. now its time for an audiobook* and jigsaw puzzling...

*audiobook of choice: Michael J Sandel: Case against Perfection

a couple nights ago i was watching Lex Fridman's interview of Kevin Spacey and while i have a generally favourable view of Fridman, i thought he was oddly helpful to Spacey when talking about the allegations, repeating "to be clear, you never prevented anyone from leaving" etc. like, what a hero, he didnt lock the door or use violence? i think by now we all know victims often stay put and dont put up a fight because of shock or pressure or feeling of lack of options. no one probably accused Spacey of locking the door - but they accused him of horrible things regardless. he was acquitted in court which is a fact and a result of a judicial process, but does not mean what the victims said is untrue, either. i dont have an issue with Fridman talking to Spacey, blanket cancellations are not my thing, but Fridman has been accused of not pushing hard enough on controversial topics or being too agreeable with guests and i agree with that here. what i found more interesting to watch was his podcast with Aella (writer, blogger, sex worker), she was quirky and has some interesting points on mate selection. i didnt necessarily agree with everything but it gave me something to think about and their interaction was amusing.

2 more weeks of work and then christmas holidays. i still have Love is Blind: Argentina to watch before that and i didnt even finish the latest US season yet.
