There’s this fantasy book where a badass warrior monk flashes back to when his teacher taught him how to fight:

A master monk is preparing to teach his young students the martial arts so he takes them out to the forest and says there is a war happening all around us. Who can tell me what it is? Finally one of the kids realizes and shouts it’s the trees!

And the monk says yes and explains the resource competition and how all the trees fight to secure their place in the sunlight. Then he says “Today children, I will teach you how to war for space”. And the chapter ends.

This is the only thing I can’t forgive. I accept that it’s hard to say how long something is going to take. But when that bar reaches 100% something should happen pretty fucking snappish.

reporting back; this album is lit.

In particular “Since I left you” and “Frontier Psychiatrist” are both jams.

Called out sick my second day. Then just… carried on working there.
