Lentil Soup
I was too quick on my weekly hiking trip to Cherni Vrah today and the beans soup wasn’t ready. There would be beans, kufte, and kebapche 15-20 minutes later. Missed that but I had lentils and chocolate, and it was fine. Life was good.
Appreciating the chance to see the peak one more time.
Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree, Book Review
Viv is a powerful orc who wants to be a mercenary but somehow ends up in the bookstore business.
Legends & Lattes showed us Viv at the end of her career, tired of killing, and really motivated to run her own business. Bookshops & Bonedust shows us Viv at the beginning of her career, as motivated to run her own business as the other Viv. Why did she ever become a mercenary? That’s unclear. She can do it in book 0.1, there’s no point to pursue a career of head cutting somewhere between book 0.1 and book 1. Her motivation is unclear and her path is circular. We’ve now seen the beginning at the end, and they are the same point.
Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree is a bubblegum, the easiest type of books to read. I struggled to reach the end but I appreciate the sweetness of the story, so for the purpose of this blog, it gets the middle score – 4/5.
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
I have unproductive days when I can’t figure out where did all my time go. I don’t think I often have lazy days, assuming lazy means inactive. All the days feel so full of todo items, including weekend and vacation days.
I also push us to do the 10k steps per day, which doesn’t encourage inactivity.
The Reader Council
There’s a new initiative by Dave Martin, WordPress.com’s lead of the new Social team called Reader Council. The Reader Council will be a p2 blog dedicated to hearing the community requests for Reader improvements and bugfixes. I’m very happy that this is happening and I hope it makes the Reader better, and our blogs cooler.
