The first week of 2025 and I am still thoroughly in vacation mode. Let me the
|
|
|
|
|
one millionth person to say: Happy New Year, Feliz Año Nuevo, and
|
|
|
|
|
<ruby>あけましておめでとう<rt>akemashite omedetou</rt></ruby>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{< tess >}} and I returned from our [holiday trip to Massachusetts][ma] with
|
|
|
|
|
Erin. We had a great time visiting Tess' family. Erin and I were both excited to
|
|
|
|
|
see a little snow too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We spent New Years with some close friends eating caviar and amazing roast beef,
|
|
|
|
|
and playing [Sorry!][sorry] with the girls. In the morning, we went over to
|
|
|
|
|
some other friends' place for brunch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The remainder of the week, an attempt was made to relax, but got hung up dealing
|
|
|
|
|
with a case of head lice, moving logistics, and `some other things`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Despite all that, I played a lot of [Caves of Qud][qud].

I added my [StoryGraph][storygraph] profile to my [Where Am I]({{< ref
|
|
|
|
|
"/about/where-am-i" >}}) page. Find me there if you want to see what I'm
|
|
|
|
|
reading.

And now, some links:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [modernity is stupid][modernity] is a great rant about technology, politics, and the state
|
|
|
|
|
of world. I read it a few weeks ago but forgot to share it.
|
|
|
|
|
* [An Unreasonable Amount of Time][unreasonable] by Allen Pike, suggesting that
|
|
|
|
|
magic, in the Penn and Teller sense, is simply devoting far more time to
|
|
|
|
|
something than most other people would consider reasonable.
