Hooked on Mastodon (the band), especially the album Crack the Skye (2009), and half-assing college midterms while trying to keep myself motivated for many more upcoming exams.
Oftentimes, things get very, very mundane. And even a little bit of novelty becomes a portal into getting off track. The chase of learning/doing/getting towards something new… A powerful driving mechanism. Can you do the same for the things that you’ve already learned before? How do you re-induce the Dunning-Kruger effect?
Changing things up a bit now. Not streaming swm’s till the end of October, playing with my study environment a bit. Exhausted? A little bit. But am I giving up? No. I am very close to getting where I really want. I am not sabotaging myself this time.
Winter is coming.
Reading:
- Babel-17 (Samuel R. Delany) - interesting sci-fi book.
- We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us (Rosenberg & Landini) - pretty humorous spy-thriller / sci-fi comic book.
- (Next up) Descender (Lemire & Nguyen)
