Am in the museum cafe and they fulfil orders based on ticket number.

Mine was ticket number 53 and you bet your arse I'm not leaving until he shouts 69.

Now working my way through a third book because you can never have too many on the go. It's Kathryn Tempest's 2019 biography of Marcus Brutus, the assassin.

I will probably have some things to say about this book, because it sets up an interesting problem. Brutus is important because of what he did, but all we can say about his early life would be true of any Roman noble. Where do we find the pre-Civil War Brutus?

I am getting increasingly bad with calendars as I age, but I am still not thrilled to have my inbox constantly filled with reminders.

HEY YOU HAVE A HOTEL BOOKED FOR SOON.

HEY YOU HAVE A FLIGHT COMING UP.

HEY YOU HAVE TICKETS FOR A THING THIS WEEKEND.

This does not relax me at all.

Allergies are absolute murder this week. Worst in years. Awful cough, runny nose. I hate it.

Kid2’s boyfriend — a very nice young man - recognized the computer game I was playing (a ludicrously overcomplicated strategy game called Europa Universalis IV) and we had a brief conversation about it and I could see her dying a little inside.

I posted on the Great Dril War of 2023 because it is clearly the most important story of our time

We've just announced the first Immersion Pack for Victoria 3, and it has a lot of neat historical content in it, with a special focus on France.

Made kimchi fried rice for dinner last night, and the house still smells like a Korean restaurant. I am very ok with this.

Sometimes I look at new real estate listings for my neighborhood and thank the gods that my timing was perfect.

All comparable housing is at least 200k more than I paid for this house three years ago.
