Tunes: Basil Poledouris' The Jungle Book is amazing. The Heart got me a copy; the theme is a very full, grand view of life, the adventure in the wild. The track "Attack of Shere Khan" has some very nice brass work which I think comparable in quality to the Asteroid Belt music from The Empire Strikes Back.
Books: Timothy Zahn's The Icarus Hunt is a sort of Firefly (for starship, bad guys, and plot) meets Ronin (for characters), and a lot of fun. Sci-fi is just better when it's about the down and out who can barely keep their ship running.
Activities:
It rocks.
Vehicles: Angus passed 233k, but inspections may catch up to him soon. Have to wonder how it saves the earth to downcheck a car based on emissions, requiring me to buy a new one, and thereby causing all the carbon emissions of refining, processing, and working two tons of steel, making carpet, glass, etc.
Work: I am working full time but not permanently. Nonetheless, reversing the cashflow hemorrhaging caused by education has been nice.
