What I'm...
Reading:
Moby Dick by Herman Melville - A whale was spotted, and while they never straight up confirm it was Moby Dick, it sure did seem like it. It was a rough battle and the whale got away. So they're back looking out again.
Battle Angel Alita, Vol. 4 by Yukito Kishiro (Author, Illustrator) - Alita has a new guardian and has to defeat the next big bad to find out where her creator is. The art is gorgeous and also its nice to read comics again so I can remember that yes, I can indeed read things quickly lol
What I finished reading:
Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler - Her brother does wind up being an asshole and not letting Lauren have her kid unless she promises to raise it the American Christian way. The novel's version of maga dissolves after 1 term, and it seems sanity is restored quite quickly, and I do not expect that IRL. Earthseed goes to the stars. Lauren doesn't make it, but her ashes do.
Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eyal (Author), Ryan Hoover (Editor) - Another work book club book finished. Still hard to apply these demi-ethical slot machine things into our own software. Maybe my brain isn't creative enough, or maybe my brain is incapable of being that evil.
Something is Killing the Children Vol. 8 by James Tynion IV (Author), Werther Dell’Edera (Illustrator) - A series of short stories regarding Erica Slaughters early career fighting monsters. I guess this series was meant as an intro for folks before the start of the netflix series that is coming. Is it out yet? Idk. I'll only watch it if I hear it is good.
Watching:
SPORTS! Still lots of Hockey and Basketball. I took a break the last few days, and was shocked that the Pacers stomped the Cavs.
Still AEW. I'm still kinda meh on it, but I like wrestling.
I saw 40 acres and I liked it quite a bit!
Sam and I started watching Apple Cider Vinegar. I don't love it, but it has an interesting enough story that I don't want to stop watching it either.
Playing:
I'm still playing Balatro here and there. I want to play the homestar runner Dangeresque game here at some point, but it only seems to run on Windows, and I rarely touch that machine except as data storage these days? I really aughta find a way to get my music on a server somehow. That would be a fun project.
Listening:
The new deafheaven album is very good. I think I've said this already, but now I own it on vinyl www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-2pdpSTwN4
I saw Rezn and picked up an album too: https://rezzzn.bandcamp.com/album/burden
I've listened to the new model/actriz album a few times over now https://modelactriz.bandcamp.com/album/pirouette
I forgot I had bought this a couple months back and wow it rips so much https://oranssipazuzu.bandcamp.com/album/muuntautuja
I saw Stress Positions open for Converge and they fucking rule and got them on vinyl: https://stresspositions.bandcamp.com/album/human-zoo
