    Avenue 5 is struggling, I have to admit. The narrative premise is already running thin after 3 episodes. If you’re doing a space show and limit yourself to solar system classical mechanics, there’s not a lot of things you can do.

    Properly reading book Every Cradle is a Grave for first time, though I bought and speed-skimmed it 6 years ago when we started co-blogging (no big surprises though... between skimming and talking to her, wysiwyg, just like Griffiths Park is like in the movies)

    A book by a friend is like a tourist spot in your own country or city. Short-term tourists are more likely to go there because you think you could go anytime and don’t prioritize it. With a book, you might not properly read it because you can just talk to them.

    Addicted to these. Got married on 20 07 2007. As it so happens, this is also turning out to be a momentous day for us; under a Joycean onomastic auspice, too. And it’s only nine in the morning.
