Personal

I’ve been trying to get back into reading (the lack of cell service on the London Underground helped a lot over the summer). Some books I’m currently enjoying:

• The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
• A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick
• Memorial, 29 June by Tine Høeg

According to my last.fm, I’ve last played The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I, BWV 846-869 - Prelude No. 1 in C Major, BWV 846 by Classical Coterie. Other than this, music I’ve been enjoying a lot recently:

• Tchaikovsky 5
• Rachmaninoff 2
• Mahler 1
• Connexion by Peter Cat Recording Co.
• Young Man by HYUKOH and Sunset Rollercoaster

I’ve been into specialty coffee for a while now. I’m currently brewing with beans from Assembly Coffee in London, with the following setup:

• Grinder: Timemore C2
• Scale: Acaia Pearl Model S
• Dripper: Fellow Stagg [X] or Hario Switch, depending on how much effort I’m willing to put in that morning
• Filter paper: Kalita Wave 185 for the Stagg, Sibarist FAST M for the Switch
• Kettle: Bodum Melior

I’m attempting to learn Cantonese. If you know any good resources or tips, please let me know!
