I’ve been playing racquetball a decent amount lately. I’d actually play it more often if it were convenient to, it’s been pretty fun.

I’ve also been tearing through some paperbacks I got from a used book store a couple weeks back. Right now I’m on this odd illustrated novel by Frank Herbert: Direct Descent. Every couple pages it has a full page illustration and it is very 80s. I’m not far in yet, so remains to be seen if it’s any good or not.

I’ve also been watching Chernobyl on the tail end of our GoT-mandated HBO online subscription and I’m hooked.

I thought I'd read every Frank Herbert book years ago (pre-internet). I have since that time looked up many authors and finished their full bibliography, but somehow Herbert escaped me. Thank you very much! The Hunt Begins!

Well I’m about halfway through it now and I’d say this one is kinda garbage.

Another one I picked up at the same time is Destination: void by Herbert. I liked that one a lot despite its propensity for dense swaths of technobabble.
