November 2025

Hello!

I’m writing this a few days after Thanksgiving, my in-laws having just left town. It was really nice to have a quiet Thanksgiving with them at home. This is honestly a bit of a microcosm for the whole month — it was pretty quiet, so there’s not much to report here! This month:

M and I went to a lovely wedding for Kat and Sam. Mobius was named the 9th-fastest growing company in Richmond. A Life Thing that I’m not going to describe in detail took up a lot of my mental capacity — I now know that this is going to be Totally Fine, and I am No Longer Worried, but the situation is not yet fully resolved. (Sorry for being vague!)

music

I wrote 13 songs — definitely a far cry from the 38 I wrote last month.

Here’s the new music playlist!

writing

Just one quick article this month: Mermaid as management hack.

films

This month, I watched 3 films:

  • Superman
  • The Batman
  • Frosty the Snowman

Have I mentioned that I love Letterboxd? You can follow me there.

books

This month, I finished 3 books:

  • Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson
  • The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett
  • Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson

I can’t believe I’m done with The Stormlight Archive! But there’s still a lot of Cosmere left.

I’m currently giving Iain M Banks’ Feersum Endjinn another shot.
