Thought I was just coming down with a cold - and maybe that's right - but my headache has subsided not at all and I feel both super cold and like I'm burning up.
It is unpleasant.

Waited weeks for a book, and when it was finally ready, I realized I'd placed a hold on the ebook version instead of the audiobook version. 🤦♂️
That's been corrected. The library estimates a 3.5 month hold on the audiobook. Rats.

I just updated my collection on BGG, and I'm up to 331 games.
Last time I counted was in December, when I had 305 games.
I don't even think I've played a game since last December lol

The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco
A murder mystery with a theological flare. I had seen the movie before, though the book was even better!

Good book, very informative, I just wish it were longer. I suppose that means I should check out the podcast!

Age of Myth - Michael J Sullivan
I enjoyed the book, though some of the idiosyncracies in technology and just how guileless some of the characters were was a bit jarring at times. I'll probably check out the rest of the series.

I did some yard work last week and got hit by some poison ivy.
Several people have told me "It could have been poison oak, you know."

I'm reading a book (Age of Myth) that takes place in a fantasy realm that approximates to the late neolithic / early copper age.
What has ruined the suspension of disbelief the most so far is that a village has buildings with more than one level. I don't think there were second floors that early.

What a delightful and fun read! Good, compelling story telling that moved at a good clip and had plenty of twists.

Just spent 2 hours pulling weeds from my hedges. Filled up a 96 gallon trash bin. I am absolutely wiped. How do people like yardwork?

When Morpheus and co. take Neo out of the matrix, it's super fortunate that they're proficient at the claw game found in most arcades. Or how many "chosen" do you think fell into the slop and they weren't able to grab with their claw?

Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone - Benjamin Stevenson
Sometimes the meta-ness of it was a little overbearing, but I really enjoyed it! And I didn't see the ending coming, so it maintained its suspense!
That's my 29th book of the year! On pace to hit around or above 60, which is great!
