Damn, 20 of these posts. This feels like a landmark somehow, though that should really be marked at 24 instead, shouldn’t it? I don’t have anything special planned…
Reading Log: May 2022
Another month goes by, my backlog only grows and it feels like little progress is being made. But let’s find out if that’s true or not! Bold =…
Listening/reading log #27 (January 2022)
Well, that wasn’t the start to the new year I wanted. But work piled on as usual. Fuck all this talk about “work/life balance” and de-stressing. As far…
Listening/reading log #29 (March 2022)
Usual apologies for the extremely late post. Otherwise, as far as the news goes, the world is even more fucked than ever. With impending doom coming ever closer,…

Listening/reading log #28 (February 2022)
Time for the end-of-month post a bit late again. But what a fucking month it was. The invasion of Ukraine isn’t something I’ve commented on here or elsewhere…

Listening/reading log #13 (October 2020)
I’m writing this a few days before possible absolute freakout time here in the States. We’ll probably be okay though. And if we aren’t, then we aren’t. Let’s…

Well look, it’s December already and cold as fuck suddenly. I like winter better than summer, but that still doesn’t mean I like below freezing temperatures. I’m not…
Listening/reading log #23 (September 2021)
