Perhaps there was a little more space in there than usual today, but if so it was not immediately obvious, especially as the main difference was the presence of a man sitting by the open window with a book from which he now looked up. "You should have stayed in your room! Didn't Franz tell you?" "And what is it you want, then?" said K., looking back and forth between this new acquaintance and the one named Franz, who had remained in the doorway. Through the open window he noticed the old woman again, who had come close to the window opposite so that she could continue to see everything. She was showing an inquisitiveness that really made it seem like she was going senile. "I want to see Mrs. Grubach ... ," said K., making a movement as if tearing himself away from the two men - even though they were standing well away from him - and wanted to go. "No," said the man at the window, who threw his book down on a coffee table and stood up. "You can't go away when you're under arrest." "That's how it seems," said K. "And why am I under arrest?" he then asked. "That's something we're not allowed to tell you. Go into your room and wait there. Proceedings are underway and you'll learn about everything all in good time. It's not really part of my job to be friendly towards you like this, but I hope no-one, apart from Franz, will hear about it, and he's been more friendly towards you than he should have been, under the rules, himself. If you carry on having as much good luck as you have been with your arresting officers then you can reckon on things going well with you." K. wanted to sit down, but then he saw that, apart from the chair by the window, there was nowhere anywhere in the room where he could sit. "You'll get the chance to see for yourself how true all this is," said Franz and both men then walked up to K. They were significantly bigger than him, especially the second man, who frequently slapped him on the shoulder. The two of them felt K.'s nightshirt, and said he would now have to wear one that was of much lower quality, but that they would keep the nightshirt along with his other underclothes and return them to him if his case turned out well. "It's better for you if you give us the things than if you leave them in the storeroom," they said. "Things have a tendency to go missing in the storeroom, and after a certain amount of time they sell things off, whether the case involved has come to an end or not. And cases like this can last a long time, especially the ones that have been coming up lately. They'd give you the money they got for them, but it wouldn't be very much as it's not what they're offered for them when they sell them that counts, it's how much they get slipped on the side, and things like that lose their value anyway when they get passed on from hand to hand, year after year." K. paid hardly any attention to what they were saying, he did not place much value on what he may have still possessed or on who decided what happened to them. #testedbysev #franzKafka #Kafka #theTrial #TheTrialByFranzKafka #FranzKafkaOnline #theTrialTestedBySev #helloCOMMUNITY #helloworld

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“I only came here because I wanted to see if the inside of this famous legal system was as loathsome as I guessed it was. And now I’m too depressed to see anything more. I just want to get out of here and be alone.”
Anthony Perkins in The Trial

I replied “No, #RobRinder!” 😝

Why doesn't Buffy jump into the empty pool & send her mother to that place? She could pass those tests no problem (although they'd probably replace the crosses and holy water with hot coals and acid ... ) #Angel #TheTrial

Franz #Kafka monument. I think I'm going to rewatch the #OrsonWelles adaptation of #TheTrial when I get home in honor of #Prague 's favorite son.

The Franz Kafka monument depicts, in bronze, a smaller man sitting on the shoulders of what should be a larger man, but he is missing and it's simply an empty suit in the shape of a man.

"Someone must have been telling lies about Donald T. because he had done nothing wrong and yet he kept having to be on trial.”

HeroQuest: The Trial

We played the modern reprinting of the classic adventure game, HeroQuest. Even the first adventure may have been too much for our brave crew.

Box art for HeroQuest. A barbarian swinging a two-handed sword in center, monsters attacking from the front. The other heroes -- dwarf, elf and wizard -- are fighting monsters behind him. In the background is a stone dungeon wall with arches lit by torchlight.

Artwork is by Les Edwards.

Recently read “The Trial” by Rob Rinder. An enjoyable cosy courtroom drama, much more chilled than a full-on legal thriller, and with a good set of characters to set up for sequels.

Renewed my driver's license. Only needed my original birth certificate, passport, and every piece of paper, from the first notice, to the number documenting the last online chat, the online payment, the creation of the online account, and still they wanted more...it's all online AI before you can make the appointment, and nothing works. You have to go back and reread Kafka to see how we got to this place. #Kafka #AI #TheCastle #TheTrial #Metamorphosis

Scored this cool poster from a local shop. One of my favourite book-to-film adaptations, with Anthony Perkins perfectly cast as Josef K.

You shouldn't pay too much attention to people's opinions. The text cannot be altered, and the various opinions are often no more than an expression of despair over it.
