Shortform #40 Egads! A Title, but not a real Title.
Today was nice :)
I was virtually social for >4 hours today. This includes the 3 hours I attended and facilitated the Houston Rationalists meetup, which was quite a fun and nice meetup, I had a good time and we had a few new members!
Today’s step count was ~9871 steps, for about 4.1 miles of distance walked. A large part of that came from walking around a field for an hour or so during the afternoon, it felt great to go walking outside again.
Completed initial onboarding for a new project, excited to see what we create.
There may or may not be shortforms for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I’ll be out of town and am neither committing to writing shortforms during that time nor outright declining to write them.
I finished reading Worm today! Worm was the first story with “capes” (superpowered individuals) that I actually enjoyed reading / engaging with in a long long long time. Despite the incredible amount of combat scenes that occur in the story, the combat scenes didn’t get old or tiresome, and there was also a fair bit of time for character development too. Though, I think I would have enjoyed the story ever so slightly more if there had been a few more chapters devoted to day-to-day life and other character development things for all the purely combat oriented chapters there were. Overall, I’m quite happy that I read Worm, and consider it a very nice and enjoyable epic / saga which I heartily recommend. It gets extremely dark in some parts, but those scenes seemed like they were handled well, so no complaints from me about that, plus I like when stories have some of that grittier more awful / horrific depth to them at times.

Yay for a short weekend vacation!
