Blurt!Sben

Arm got a little sore at bedtime last night, and I’ve been a little sluggish today, but that’s all pretty insignificant.

Got my first vaccine dose this morning. (Moderna, if you’re wondering.)

Current earworm: “Car Wash” by Rose Royce / “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel medley (cursed).

Finished rereading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer. Still has off-putting elements, but I’m charging ahead to the next book.

Musing about what it would take to turn the long walk journal into a print-on-demand book.

Spent the day with Meghan’s mom on Tuesday. It was the longest most of us had been away from home for more than a year.

I shook out most of the bugs, and my long walk journal is now publishing daily for the next couple months.

Finished God Cancer by Greg Stolze. I didn’t know I was looking for a short horror novel mashup of Lovecraft (At the Mountains of Madness–style) and cancer, but I sure was.

Finished A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. A satisfying sequel to her first, not flawless but still very well executed.

Just uploaded a bunch of files to the server. My long walk journal should start posting daily, starting April 6, 2021 — four years after the walk.

Finished Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Short and unsettling and very, very good.

Watched Wall-E with Meghan and the bambina. First time for Meghan and me; the bambina had seen part of it in CS class last week.
