What I'm up to this week

By Justin G. on 24SEP25WED

What I’m reading

• Nexus by Harari.
  I’ve found the key ideas quite interesting so far.
• Ancillary Justice by Leckie

What I’m doing

Running, baking, cooking, resting. I’ve been eating more veggie meals lately, which I am happy about.

What I’m listening to

Some classical.

What I’m eating

• Focaccia de Cristal (YT) / recipe. And made rosemary tomato sandwiches, there are still a few tomatoes coming in.
• Redemption ice cream.
• Swedish lentil balls. I’ll add a bit of onion to the gravy next time, but overall very good.
• Melissa Clark’s cauliflower shawarma is excellent. I chose the Aleppo pepper variant of the tahini sauce. Lavash wraps are too weak to hold it up. Overall the recipe is easy-peasy and delicious. Barely more work than just roasting cauliflower solo.

What I’m watching

• Apollo 13: Survival, a documentary made with archive footage. I thought it was good.

• Martijn Doolaard.
• Prague ‘24 women’s bouldering final (YT).
• Really enjoyed these penguins, and these.

What I’m playing

• NMS. Everyday I be finishing fishing.

Background

No need to include this section, so I’m dropping it after this edition.

Things I am doing off and on.

Ongoing reading projects

These are books that I plan to take my time with. Maybe years.

• Complete Essays by Montaigne.
• The Syntopicon - So dense with ideas.
• Basic Economics by Sowell.
• Collected Fictions and Selected Non-fictions by Borges.
