Gone down a rabbithole now with the whole Manson thing, and it's very, very interesting.

I was kind of surprised by how intriging the entire story is, because although I approched the entire chronicle with a blank slate (I honestly didn't even really know the most basic details of the narrative, other than Sharon Tate was murdered, I didn't even know that she was eight months pregnant at the time for example, or that there were four other people murdered alongside her that night, or even the La Bianca killings that happened shortly after), I was predjudiced with the notion that the whole thing was an open and shut affair and that there was nothing more to say about it.

But I'm finding that Roman Polanski is a rabbit hole in and of himself, and that the court case is kind of strange, for example Manson wasn't allowed to represent himself in court, even though he had the right to, and a whole lot of other things that would be too long to go into in this note.

Have you read CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O'Neill?

I listened to the audiobook but it's fascinating.

Yeah man, I'm reading it right now, it's a real page-turner. It's really hard to put down , and I know that is a really worn out cliche, but it's true.

That is a slightly differen't title to the book I'm reading, but I wonder if that was a decision by the publisher to have a differen't title over here in Europe?

Also, you look differn't, have you done something with your moustache lately?

I just animated it. 😝
