Meghan has gotten her covid vaccine.
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.
At the moment, this is what my notional stack of books looks like:
Interspersed in there are Web Typography by Richard Ritter, and various RPG books.
(Really, though, anything past the second is purely speculative, and even the first two aren’t locked down yet.)
Finished reading Cuisine & Empire by Rachel Laudan, a Christmas gift. Fascinating look at how ingredients, cooking techniques, and culinary philosophies have changed and spread over the millennia.
The last time I took the bus was one year ago today.
I’ve been working at my current job for ten years now, significantly longer than my previous record (more than seven at Expedia).
The closest In-N-Out is now less than a four hour drive away !
I am at the Stephen of Blois stage of the wikidive.
Another 1″ of snow fell overnight. It’s barely starting to melt; it might freeze briefly overnight, but it shouldn’t again for a while.
Note to future-self: Don’t bother shoveling the sidewalk; the snowplows will just cover it with nasty road slush.
