đŽ Started playing The Secret of Monkey Island on the Steam Deck. Correcting a gap in my point & click bona fides. So far Yakko & Wakko Warner as the Fettuccini Brothers is my favorite part.
Loved my first day hike, hiked in spite of the sense of impending bursitis. Two days later, bursitis is still here plus some other joint pain and I’m trying to figure out how to deal without just taking to bed for the day.
Q: Was there ever a series of books you were skeptical about, but ended up liking very much?
A: I can’t think of any right now but this is a great question & I’m going to keep thinking about it.
Q: who was your crush in middle school lmao
A: Had a different one each year. Not naming names but one of them performed surgery on my mom a few years ago.
Q: the longest time you’ve ever gone without showering?
A: Don’t know but far too long, more than a week. I’m generally bad about it & new parenthood made it even worse.
Dense fog advisory today until 10 AM. Big woodland goth vibes.
Finished reading: The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie đ
Poirot’s first case. A bit of homage to Doyle at the start, then on to the modes that come to define Christie’s work: a rogue’s gallery & a drawing room reveal.
Begin As You Mean to Go On, courtesy of Leigh Bardugo:
- Read for pleasure: Read The Mysterious Affair at Styles on my Kobo.
- Make things (courtesy of Kim Werker): Set up my new Bullet Journal.
- Take walks: Did a first day hike at Eno River State Park.
Q: What’s one thing that typical town libraries should change to increase community participation?
A: Find ways to reach people who aren’t already coming in the building. What else is going on locally? Can you have a library presence at those events? Can you partner with other organizations?
Q: What are your plans this weekend?
A: Nothing big - maybe going to the Farmer’s Market & then prepping bc on 1/16 I leave for Amsterdam - W got a Fulbright and M & I will travel Europe with him as he studies international copyright!
