No big deal. Just meeting a hero who ended up being kind and talkative and amazing.

I did so many amazing things in France and Thailand, but feeding and petting capybaras is pretty high on the list.

Prepping my Hack59 for international travel. Silent Shrimp switches and new PBS Black on White keycaps by matt3o. I'm really liking this profile, which is interesting because I usually hate lower profile caps. #mechanicalkeyboards

Review for Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - It was fine. Propulsive and dripping with science, but the whole time felt like a retelling of The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. It has already evaporated from my memory. The ending was very unsatisfying, and not in a way that felt intentional.

#bookreview of Luster by Raven Leilani
A complicated read on a few levels. A narrator who is remarkably different from me, but with huge overlap. She’s living in Brooklyn, graphic design background, artist, bisexual, non-monogamous, weird. She’s a woman, Black, different trauma, Gen Z. 1/3

I loved this movie! And it once again proves that the greatest evil is Mumford and Sons.

Review of Little Mysteries by Sara Gran. What a little jewelry box of a book. These fragments and thought experiments and dreams. Steeped in mystery genre, but stretching its legs into postmodern play. Feeling at times like an awkward child of Agatha Christie and Italo Calvino. 1/3

Review of And Then And Then What Else by Daniel Handle. It feels a bit narcissistic to say I saw myself on every page of this memoir of a brilliant writer. His complex childhood. Bisexuality, poetry, weird partying, a constant miasma of romance and art and sex. 1/4

Review of Audition by Katie Kitamura. What a strange little novel. Vivid, surreal, internal. I was second guessing everything as the narrator second guessed everything. The logic folded in on itself and yet the strangeness felt natural. (1/2)
