What I'm...
Reading:
Moby Dick by Herman Melville - No progress this week. Two days ago a bunch of chapters dropped (I'm reading this at the pace of an email newsletter!) but I haven't read them yet. Its been busy.
Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler - I can't put this down, even though I know its an endless tragedy. Lauren is trying to find her child. She finds her brother who is now a christian america pastor. I don't trust him still. But she was able to talk to him and escape, although she was nearly jumped as she left. Now she hears her brother is now a CA pastor in Oregon, so she's on the road with another sharer to portland. There's only 50 pages left and I assume it ends in tragedy. This book is prophecy.
Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eyal (Author), Ryan Hoover (Editor) - No progress this week. I will pick it up once I'm done with Parable of the Talents, book club be damned; its way more interesting right now.
Watching:
Sports! Lots and lots and lots of hockey and nba playoffs. The bucks lost last night. I am for the pistons now. I also watched the Canes win their series last night.
I saw Sally at the film festival which was very good.
Playing:
Kinda nothing! NBA and NHL has stomped on my Balatro time. I'll come back to it.
Listening:
Man, the following albums I listened to on the way to Chicago and they all ripped:
https://mysticismproductions.bandcamp.com/album/folkstorm Gnipahålan - Ambient Black Metal
https://grails.bandcamp.com/album/the-burden-of-hope-remastered - lyricless post rock
https://cavesermon.bandcamp.com/album/fragile-wings melodic black metal/post metal. its so fucking pretty. This is likely going to be in my best-of albums at the end of the year too.
