Reading Time

Just a note to all of you who read WISB. I am moving tomorrow and likely won’t be online for any of it and probably won’t post anything on WISB for a couple days while I attempt to adjust to my new home and get unpacked. This is all for the best, though. I have been living in this godawful place for too long and my good friend Loopdilou has offered to help me get the hell out of here. Many thanks to her and her husband for their assistance here (I really appreciate it and it’s nice to know I have friends in Santa Cruz I can turn to if I need help and I hope they know I would do what I can for them too, short of giving them a million dollars because I don’t have that).

So, if you don’t hear from me for a few days, don’t worry. I’m not dead. I’m simply stressed, going to school, and unpacking.

Never fear, though, because I’m excited and happy to be out of here! Especially since I no longer have to deal with this blasted dog howling all freaking day long…

Thanks!

  1. Good for you!

    Moving can be a pain in the a** – but a lot of the time, aggravating as it is, it’s a good thing.

    Good luck! Let us know how things are going when you can….

  2. Good luck & happy moving 🙂 You're blessed to have good friends helping out. Change can be a positive step as we all strive to better ourselves for a brighter tomorrow.

Book Review: Start Finishing by Charlie Gilkey (2022)

Sometime near the end of the Spring semester, I decided it was time to take another crack and reorganizing my life. I’ve gone through years of on again / off again burnout, some of it my own fault (I’m disorganized and try to do too much) and some of it a consequence of things about which I have no control (my former university essentially bankrupted itself, forcing me to find a new job in my field, and I’ve since moved twice — the short version). All that burnout and overfilled plate-ism has made it harder to keep up with grading and find the energy to complete tasks on time. So it seemed only logical to use my university library privileges to borrow a variety of recommend productivity and project management books to see what advice, systems, etc. are out there.

A Reading List of Dystopian Fiction and Relevant Texts (Apropos of Nothing in Particular)

Why would someone make a list of important and interesting works of dystopian fiction? Or a suggested reading list of works that are relevant to those dystopian works? There is absolutely no reason other than raw interest. There’s nothing going on to compel this. There is nothing in particular one making such a list would hope you’d learn. The lists below are not an exhaustive list. There are bound to be texts I have forgotten or texts you think folks should read that are not listed. Feel free to make your own list and tell me about it OR leave a comment. I’ll add things I’ve missed! Anywhoodles. Here goes:

Duke’s Best EDM Tracks of 2024

And so it came to pass that I finished up my annual Best of EDM [Insert Year Here] lists. I used to do these on Spotify before switching to Tidal, and I continued doing them on Tidal because I listen to an absurd amount of EDM and like keeping track of the tunes I love the most. Below, you will find a Tidal playlist that should be public. You can listen to the first 50 tracks right here, but the full playlist is available on Tidal proper (which has a free version just like Spotify does). For whatever reason, the embedded playlist breaks the page, and so I’ve opted to link to it here and at the bottom of this post. Embeds are weird. Or you can pull songs into your preferred listening app. It’s up to you. Some caveats before we begin:
