In 2025 I read 9 books:
The Three-Body Problem
The Dark Forest
Snow Crash
Gender Queer
Death's End
Redemption of Time
Wool
Shift
Dust

This was more books than the last two decades combined, but boy did I make some mistakes in the series I chose to read. 2026 I think I will aim for more cheerful.

I used to hate Christmas in Vancouver because I grew up in Ottawa where December is usually snowy. Here, it's usually raining. But now I think it's kind of charming that everyone here still does Christmas activities in the rain because they're so determined to have a good time.

Happy solstice~ make the darkness brighter with your light~

Always remember:

Stonewall was a riot

Here's my piece on the end of the McBarge.

Dreams die, boats sink, memories for millions of British Columbians will fade.

But friendships are forever.

Absolute fucking shambles.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Today is the 10th FFXIV wedding anniversary of my wife and I, crazy to think not only how long we've been married, but how long we've played this game together.
