jake comes over and we get stuck into some cleaning up at mission control, slowly things come together and i can see my need for more storage or the removal of certain items. i did take a big box of books down to the book exchange thinking i'd get at least $50 but instead was given $10. anyway's i'll stick to the market place when it comes to selling books, at least you meet people. we clean up and assemble a brand new work station, it's a new ben monster and attaches to the mac book, so i have a larger screen, eventually i will get a mac mini and new keyboard but this is a long way off, for the moment it's just maintenance and clearing space. everything looks groovy now, just three very cluttered spaces i need to sort out.

i finished 'crime' and begin 'the long knives' discuss with jakob the opening statement about the difference between enemies and adversaries, it's a good one.

'an adversary is someone you want to defeat. an enemy is someone you need to destroy.with adversaries, compromise is virtuous, after all todays adversary could be tomorrows ally. but with enemies, compromise is an unsatisfactory appeasement. in our modern age, we are loosing the distinction between the two'
