Side quest: walk to Barrio Logan for lunch and jot down ideas for project Boris.

Today’s agenda:

My reading stack currently includes two physical books. They are Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus 1 and Making Comics. Gorgeous books. They are a delight to read. But they are such a drag to lug around. Especially Lone Wolf and Cub. If you dropped it, you might break a toe.

Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to The Dance by Air Waves (thanks, @zioibi) and Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen. 🎵

I have an automated shortcut that downloads an RSS file to my iCloud account every morning and deletes the RSS file at night.

I need an automated shortcut to open the RSS file in Drafts at a specific time. It doesn’t seem to work unless my phone is in active use. Am I mistaken?

Sorry, neighbors, but this is what I’m listening to today.

Pure : Live by Godflesh

I recorded myself reading Dr. Seuss’s Yertle the Turtle for my grandkid. My King Yertle synthesized Darth Sidious from Star Wars and The Monarch from the Venture Brothers. I reveled in campy evil. If I had a mustache, I’d be twirling it.

I made my first cup of Vietnamese-style coffee this morning with the Nguyen coffee-making kit my brother sent me for my birthday. Whew! Strong stuff. I’m going to enjoy having this as my morning routine.

I’ve just arrived at the second season of Witcher. Henry Cavill, bless his nerd heart, committed entirely to the role. I don’t envy Liam Hemsworth. That’s a large codpiece to fill.

Favorite Apple Watch face? I love World Time, but it’s hell on my middle-aged eyes. GMT is my second favorite and the one I use the most. The alternate time is set for Belgrade, the city of my writing partner.

Finished reading: The Mongol Invasions of Japan 1274 and 1281 by Stephen Turnbull 📚 So much useful information in this book that I highlighted almost every page to make notes in Obsidian.

Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to SZNZ by Weezer and NULL by KEN Mode. 🎵

Playing Xas Irkalla had me break out my d10s

Characters in my Xas Irkalla survival horror RPG.

No album today, just listening to my Halloween radio show from 1993. Enjoy! 👻 🎃 💀 https://www.mixcloud.com/bazookajoeshow/october-30-1993-halloween-special-part-1-wmfo-915-fm/

I’ve been listening to Samhain and Misfits all morning in preparation for Xas Irkalla, a survival horror RPG my friends and I have been playing for the last few weeks.

Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to Walk Among Us by Misfis and Initium/Unholy Passion by Samhain. 🎵
