I'm really bad at my job.

Me too. So I hope this catches on. Things are going well so far, but we're only 2 sessions in.

Akiva

Started playing Urban Shadows with some friends. It's my first powered by the apocalypse game. I hope it goes well.

Akiva

Both of my daughters are insanely anxious about school. They both take medication, and both see therapists, but that doesn't seem to be enough. I'm not sure what else to do.

Akiva

I’ll have to find out if I can access Discord from work.

Akiva

I’m still here for what it’s worth. Just haven’t had anything interesting to say.

Akiva

My subconscious hates me: dreamed about a person I wish I never met.

Akiva

Snow day tomorrow.

Akiva

I hope so.

Akiva

I like a few of his stories a great deal (interestingly I like ones that are looked down on by Lovecraft aficionados) but mostly I find them interesting but kind of boring.

Akiva

So what are people's feeling about H.P. Lovecraft? He was certainly a racist, and probably a misogynist, but he also wrote some really influential stories. Can we separate the art from the artist?

Akiva

Listened to the audio book of The Left Hand of Darkness. It's really damned good. I've read a handful of classic SF in the last few years, and have mostly been underwhelmed. But this one deserves to be a classic.

That's fantastic!

We had a pretty low key holiday, just the 5 of us. Still made way too much food--slow cooked turkey breast, peas, potatoes, stuffing, rolls, broccoli, and 2 kinds of pie. But it was relaxing.

Akiva

This is insane.

Akiva

First snow of the year here has turned to rain.

Akiva

Kid having a massive anxiety attack at school. Fuck.

Akiva

Voted today. Only about a 10 minute wait.

Akiva

Teri Garr.

Akiva

Are you guys anywhere near the blue dot?

Akiva

Any thoughts on how that razor would work for shaving one's head?

Akiva

My friend’s yahrzeit. Can’t believe it’s been 6 years.

Akiva

My wife started a new job about 2 months ago. We got the first check via direct deposit, but then not the next two. When we told HR about it, their attitude was basically "Well, that's your problem." So after trying to work with them to remedy the issue, she quit today in protest. I suppor...

Dikembe Mutombo

Akiva

I just fucking hate myself. I see nothing good in me.

Akiva

Stanley Karnow, "Vietnam"

I don't know much about the Vietnam War, so I thought I'd read one of the most famous histories of the war. It seems to be well researched and balanced, and the writing is very good. I'll have to read some other histories to see how it compares.

Akiva

I was asked twice today if Hitler had ever been president of the U.S. I find that weird.

Akiva

Sorry to hear that. That's awful.

Akiva

Who told him that it mattered?
Who told him anyone cares?
He's got an overgrown sense of his own importance

Anne Leckie, Translation State

Wonderful book. Wonderful writer. I need to read her fantasy book.

Leckie is so good at conveying alien states of mind. It's weird to get used to, but well worth it.

Akiva

Provenance, by Anne Leckie

Read this book. And Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy. She’s superb.

Akiva

I'd love to see some of the old Hammer Horror movies, but I don't know which ones are the best.

Akiva

I’m so sorry to hear all that. Terrible year for you.

Akiva

I had a dream that I was playing a game with Mike and Kyle, and Kyle was such a dick!

Akiva

I heartily recommend it.

Akiva

I just got around to reading "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. Wow. It's superb.

Akiva

I totally accept that apology. Thanks AI!

Akiva

I’m not ready for this responsibility . . . Subject: Sincere Apology for My Actions Dear Mr. Akiva, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere apologies for my recent actions regarding the essay on privatizing space technology. I understand that my use of ChatGPT to gener...

Akiva

I’m not ready for this responsibility . . .

Akiva

I ran a D&D game at a game store this past Saturday.

It was. My daughter loved it too.

Akiva

Got to take my daughter to see the great J Robbins last night.

Akiva

I'm scheduled to take the first test for the process of getting certified to teach elementary school on Sunday. I'm nervous as hell about it.

Akiva

No idea.

Akiva

Like a Virgin?

Akiva

Don Henley, "Dirty Laundry"

Akiva

It was just supposed to be a game! He wasn't supposed to die!

Akiva

"No, Dorian Gray."

"Great. Now where's your picture?"

Akiva

Someone else's pets. Not sure why they're here.

Akiva

Lost a bet, huh?

Akiva

No dog is clever enough to do this.
