• I really wanted to like Outlander

    So I’m thinking about how some time last year, I tried watching Outlander. The beginning of the show is amazing, premise and environmental setup of the whole show is amazing but something got me to stop watching it. I’ve thought a lot about what this something was and it’s mostly that there were just too…

  • Book review: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

    I recently finished this book and I am going to summarize some of my thoughts in a concise list below: The book has great writing The buildup in the book is pretty amazing but there is no climatic part Characters are pretty well developed even if a bit hard to relate to About 3/4th the…

  • October update

    I’ve been busy the past month with work and when not working staying away from the computer. I want to highlight some changes to my daily routine and also update on some books I’ve read or listened to recently. About 2 years ago when Kristen and I adopted our dog Samson, I started waking up…

  • Reverting to an old school way of posting

    I don’t like the WordPress editor, even with its features that are probably the best in the industry, I don’t find myself craving to write in it. The main reason for me is that the features get in my way, I have to hide away all the UI cruft to be able to write. So,…

  • The Goldfinch, movie vs book

  • Maus #1 by Art Spieglman

    I just finished reading Maus: My Father Bleeds History, written and illustrated by Art Spieglman. I’m still processing it. I’ve been reading it over the past days. I’m currently in New York City and I brought the book with me. I wanted to read something different while traveling. I didn’t know much or even anything…

  • Apple Card  First Impressions

    I decided to try the Apple Card and so I signed up for one about 10 days ago. Below are some of my thoughts on it but please don’t think this is a full review of the card which I’m sure you can find in many other places, I will only focus on a few…

  • Starting over, thoughts on meditation

    I’ve been going through some painful self discovery in 2019. A lot of contradictory thoughts and feelings in my head. Anything from simple things at work and home to big things like where I want to live has been unreal this year. For instance, at the start of this year, I felt like I wanted…
