aw thanks! i really like my new job/team but man do i miss the chaos and gossip hahahah

i love to put my headphones in to work and then forget to play anything for 3-4 hours... it's what i love to do!

i've been so lonely at work after leaving a big rowdy team but just had a crazy hourlong debate with side channels and multiple debriefs and i feel aliiiiive!!!!!!

when i first got it i programmed it to tell me Happy Birthday and apparently i'll just never touch it again!

i never changed my car clock with the november time change, i just got used to subtracting an hour. now the clock is correct and im still subtracting and seriously confusing myself. follow me for more tips on simple living

maybe i need to update my references (no... never)

30% gene wolfe-related, 20% hassan blasim-related, 20% friend recs, 10% impulse bookstore buys, 10% impulse from the library, 10% impulse from my own shelves

lately my reading list has been populated from this one long gene wolfe interview that i read a few paragraphs at a time

full Black Company reread has now moved several positions up the priority list

i guess i don't need another 500pp of Glen Cook space clone hijinks but i sure would like it

thank you -- i'm still mad!!!!

also Made in Saturn came from Codex in nyc but I only learned of Rita Indiana from previously buying Tentacle at City of Asylum, a phenomenal (& mostly translated) bookshop in Pittsburgh.

today i finished Sololand by Hassan Blasim (ar), thanks to my local library for the discovery! I immediately ordered 2 more of his books.

the only specific reading goal i have this year is to read at least one translated book each month.

i missed it in Jan but i did read Rita Indiana's "Made in Saturn" (es) at the very end of Dec.

ugh it finally happened, i got forced off the road while running. i sank over a foot into snow and mud before falling onto the pavement! i'm totally fine i'll just be avoiding that particular curve... i saw another car cutting it on my way back like dude...

we only saw 2 in theatres: The Secret Agent (drove an hr and came out to 6" of new snow) and Resurrection. they were 2 faves along with Parallel Mothers (Almodovar) and Amarcord, which he'd been bugging me to watch for many years

we saw 24 movies in jan! after f went Berlanga crazy on my friend's criterion subscriptsh last yr he got his own for xmas and we canceled all other streaming. we also got more regular about hitting the library and used dvd shops.
