Read aloud with my son.

Probably took a year and a half to get through the whole trilogy? I’ll have to check back in my notes if I can figure it out, because I haven’t been keeping a good reading log these past few years.

I meant to read every book by Grant Snider at this time (had them all from the library) but I didn’t get that far. Another time. Poetry Comics, tho.

Listened to this album for the who knows how manynth time - still just love it, songs have been in my head all week and I’m not sure why.

I track my music listening pretty exhaustively using last.fm, and have about six full years of history there. This is a place for me to manually highlight particular listening projects or obsessions of the moment.

Not sure how retroactive I can be - weird, but I might go back roughly to the beginning of 2024 or even the end of 2023 to make sure I cover some key repeats or personally meaningful listens.

Random serendipitous connection to two other books I was reading-

1. I Love Information references these, which is why I looked them up.
2. This apparent first translation of the elegies into English was made by V. Sackville-West, to whom Orlando is dedicated, and who appears as Orlando in some of the photographs in the book. (There’s a lot more to possibly say about her connection to Virginia Woolf and Orlando, but I’ll leave it at that.)

I’m hooked after starting this on a whim one day while browsing Apple Arcade for the first time on my laptop. I’d wanted to play something on the Switch but not enough to kick my kids off the Switch.

Apparently I love Canadian video games?
