A few months ago, the sci-fi book club I’m part of read The Sol Majestic. The book is OK; rough at the outset, but eventually gets better, so I’m glad I finished it. I’d give it maybe 3.5/5 stars. The book’s eponymous setting is the best restaurant in the galaxy. People travel for years to

Lots of work, but low motivation. Being constantly interrupted doesn’t help. Week 7 on around-the-clock cooking duty doesn’t help, either. Daily hour-long walks have become absolute sanity savers. I just wish there weren’t quite as many others outside. Today, it was freezing and raining, so I finally got to be (almost) alone outdoors. It was

Podcasts. What do we think? I am not the biggest fan of the form. I find most that aren’t heavily edited to be a slog: slow, with too little content for the runtime, and hosted by people whom I don’t find engaging. But, I found one that’s well aligned with my extracurricular interests, and have been

A few days ago, nicoleandmaggie wrote about annoyance and wanting to spare people, and it inspired this post of mine. I try to pursue new experiences and activities in meat space, but what invariably happens is that I am the only non-American-born participant. Some people are weirded out by it; others are not. I don’t

— I’ve been in a foul mood today, so not much to discuss. I did manage to (in no particular order) cook a ridiculously large amount of food, go for an hour-long walk followed by an hour-long shower/pamper routine, supervise kids’ school work, and work on a book chapter. It wasn’t a total loss, but

Since the beginning of the quarantine, which is now five weeks in over here, the university administration has sent between seven and eight million emails emphasizing how we need to be flexible and understanding with our undergraduates and graduate students, how we need to check in on their mental health, and that

What kind of sorcery is this https://t.co/6BqCt6RNQg — Clement Chow (@ClementYChow) April 18, 2020 This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system.
