em_c Did nothing of value today. Either getting sick or burned out or just need a breather. Played a whole bunch, does anything else really matter anyways?
I have one of those jobs where you can read a lot, and boy I've been on a kick. Probably read 15 books in October, all horror. That William Peter Blatty fella is a hell of a writer. The Exorcist and Legion wowed me, and I was never a fan of the movie or the subject matter, really. October also started up a frantic Dan Simmons marathon and I'm finally nearing the end. Two more (I only did the horror ones, apparently it's the only genre I can tolerate atm). Drood was brilliant and so much fun. The Terror was fantastic (I love old timey boat horror, put me on the Obra Dinn). Summer of Night. 🤌🤌 And the books are all 700+ pages long, which I need because I read too fast (not a blessing) and it's nice to get to linger in a story for more than a day. I have the first Southern Reach Trilogy book started right now, it's all of 200 pages and I chuckled when I opened the package... "What is this, a Goosebumps book?" But tbh it's been slow-going, interesting but not really pulling me in. After that, book one of The Familiar series by the House of Leaves guy.
Our new dining room is going to double as a library. I'm pumped. My "civilian science" projects will have a battlestation, we'll have a proper desk for writing, I'm just str8 pumpt. Just need to get a little closer to ready and measure to figure out exactly how many bookcases I can cram in there. Built ins are like... phase 3. Way down the road.
What's for supper? Bout to go find out!
