Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Any plans, milestones, major dread or whatever else you want to share coming up in the week ahead?

And how are you generally?

    Weekend was good. On Monday I plan to keep healing up from my vasectomy Thursday, planning to work on the 3-4 projects I have assigned at work while listening to The Three Body Problem audiobook from my local library.

    Generally I work too much; I keep getting raises but I don’t need more money, I need more life.

    • How are you finding 3BP? I just couldn’t with that series.

      If you find yourself irritated by it and still want some badass scifi, I recommend a book called Blindsight :)

        I haven’t had a problem with it, but it’s definitely similar to Hong Kong Kung Fu dialog, which I just have to promise myself I’ll ignore stylistically

      Hope it’s all healing nicely! Mine is now already 15+ years ago, took about a week until it was fully healed. But I could already walk around at home and do smaller strolls outside the next day, and was doing regular chores on day two. Just waited about 2 weeks until I went running and cycling again.

      Is the three body problem the original one translated from Chinese, or did they re-release it after the Netflix series?

      I tried reading the original, but found the writing style way too convoluted for my liking. Same with the Chinese series, I watched a few episodes and it was just too much. Even my Chinese wife agreed that Netflix did a much better job.

        Healed up (late reply and all), I dig the book, but the dialog is painful, much more than the vasectomy
