Fun life update: everything was going great then my dad died

Great things about managing a pub: Wine reps coming in and getting you drunk on excellent wines & recognising you from the London Wine Fair.

Downsides: Literally every single thing about managing a bar/restaurant.

Todays mood: still fucking depressed about Scott Hutchinson

how the fuck did all of those renaissance dilettantes learn so much crap? Like they spoke 3 languages and were foremost in several branches of science, plus they wrote poetry, played the violin, and were master artists? And they still had time to be gay? 

none of them ever did any laundry at all

counter argument: not just no internet/no TV, if you were rich enough to be learning 3 languages you sure as shit didn’t have to deal with things like making a barrel or learning how to farm. These people weren’t geniuses, most of the historical figures we hear about were incredibly rich. It’s easy to be a polyglot when Archduke Daddy and Viscountess Mummy can pay people to handle your education.

I fucking LOVE the trope of the historical character who just happens to smart as arseholes, but lets face it, it’s not the Russian Peasant who is painted so gloriously in literature that’s speaking three languages and fuckin’ around with Alchemy.. it’s the dandy-ass son of an aristocrat whose education involved being lucky enough to be born into landed gentry and  happens to be able to be flippant in both French and Latin.
