Finally the moving is behind us and I’m writing this at our new apartment. I feel a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

Last week was full of packing and sorting stuff out at our old place. We moved to the new place on Saturday morning and the weekend was entirely spent unpacking and settling in. My wife decided to Marie Kondo the shit out of our stuff and threw out a lot of unnecessary things (although I’m 100% sure she doesn’t know about Marie Kondo. she’s blissfully oblivious to American culture.)

Apart from moving, I haven’t done much last week except watching the League of Legends MSI 2026. This is something about me that frequently surprises people. I’m not a LoL player (never played it) but I love watching it. I’m not a gamer. I haven’t spent much time playing computer games since I was 17¹. Watching League is like watching football but it’s much more strategic and requires precision.

On the reading front, I finally finished The Time Regulation Institute. Now, the only book I’m reading is Fromm’s To Have or to Be?. I’m thinking of starting The Story of Cybernetics by Maurice Trask. I recently got a hold of a copy of this book and the copy is 52 years old! Also I’ll continue reading The New Sun series by Gene Wolfe.

Ah, also I’m participating in JulyReply after a very fun Junited. JulyReply is a bit harder to participate in since it requires an active engagement with others’ posts rather than passively sharing links as in Junited. I’m on the lookout for posts that I’d like to build on but so far nothing has moved anything in me.

Fingers crossed.
