Wow, 6 weeks since the last update! Not quite a weekly update, hope to get back into a rhythm now that we’re settled into our new (old) house.

What I’m reading

• Started Too Like the Lightning - very unique so far. Have heard it compared to Neal Stephenson’s Baroque cycle so excited to get further in.

What I’m playing

• Sektori has its claws in me, such a fun loop but so hard! Recommendation: Don’t look anything up, it intentionally does not tell you very much about the mechanics of scoring and that discovery is a part of the fun.

What I’m watching

• We continued our Paul Thomas Anderson kick with Boogie Nights. So good, probably my favorite so far. Read the Grantland Oral History after watching!

What I’m up to

• Moving back in means lots of projects! Heavy-duty floating shelves in my office vexed me for a bit, learnings: Don’t use the drywall anchors that come with shelves, and really don’t use drywall anchors. Just find the studs.

What Rory is doing

• Talking, moving, talking. Feels like he’s getting a new word every day, super exciting to see this progress after not having much to say.
