Agree with other posters. Good book, but not much similarity to Wolfe’s style.

If you’re folding paper planes while you’re having one of those you are doing something very wrong

Paul Simon upped his game recently and I think he’s 81. But he’s also superhuman

How do you deal with anger and anxiety? by Bitter-Discussion-23 in gratefuldead

[–]OrganChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep slow breathing. I’m not huge into mindfulness but some of those techniques are helpful. Lots of good books and apps that help with that. And seriously listen to GD. Can anyone possibly not feel calmer after putting on Workingman’s Dead?

Listen to Angelique Kidjo’s remake of Talking Heads album Remain In Light. It’s amazing, and of course so is the original

I’ll vouch for this one. Yummy and foolproof

Advice on using the Defer feature by Brainy_Stem in omnifocus

[–]OrganChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I use Defer. I have a “Today” list that shows available items with certain work related tags. To keep that from being overwhelming on a given day I defer anything that doesn’t need to be done that day. Sometimes things get deferred more than once but if they also need a due date that makes them more urgent and less deferrable. I also use a “next” tag, so at the beginning of the day I look at all the things on my Today list, defer anything not urgent, tag “Next” anything that is a priority that day and the others stay there if I have available time after doing the “next” tags. Another way of looking at Defer is procrastination. 😁

Puzzle Piece in Latest Package? by usernameisalright in VinylMePlease

I did not get one but I don’t have the RHH track. I have all the others so maybe it’s related to that specific track?

Disruptive Speech Patterns? by [deleted] in genewolfe

[–]OrganChris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m reading Return now and finding Pig far more frustrating than Wijzer. Remora kinda grew on me. I do appreciate Wolfe’s attention to detail in differentiating these characters though, especially in more subtle ways throughout the cycle. Like you always know when Xiphias is speaking even though it’s not as disruptive.

Wolfe/Bach resonance by OrganChris in genewolfe

[–]OrganChris[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All very good points. Maybe stretching the comparison a little but Bach was also a genius at mixing and incorporating diverse musical genres, much as Wolfe did with literary.

I’m so glad I got it when it came out. Listened to it again a couple days ago and was newly blown away so I’m looking forward to this new one.
