Want to read: Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better by David Epstein 📚
Long ago, Kim Werker and Kate Bingaman-Burt convinced me of the value of creative constraints. I love that there’s now a book all about it.

Finished reading: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Four: The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan 📚
Finished reading: Sundust by Zeke Peña 📚
Finished reading: Tough Guy by Rachel Reid 📚
Finished reading: The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 📚
🎧 Read by Stephen Fry as part of Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection. Doyle is phoning it in here. We get a softer Holmes, who will let people get away with crime if he decides that’s what’s just.
Found my summer aesthetic: beach goth. 💀🌊
🍿 Reflections on Jurassic Park:
- Ian Malcolm is gross and he has all the best lines.
- That shot of the T-rex with the banner falling is so iconic. (Forgive me the spoiler.)
- If you’ve been to Universal’s Jurassic Park area, this whole thing feels much more real because they did such a great job.
📝 Tiny Week(s)notes (idea by @brie@social.lol):

📺 Hacks 😍.
🎮 The Room series.
🌱 Picked out plants for the deck that spouse planted.
🍿 The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Jurassic Park (still iconic).
🍿Just watched Jurassic Park with my kid. He enjoyed it. It holds up, just as it did the last time I watched it about 10 years ago. The animatronics are still impressive, the CGI less so.
