Baba yaga ghanoush
This week I watched a heap more television than I usually do. Highlights include (and, tbh, are limited to):
- A bunch of “Adventure Time,” because sleep, FTW!
- Netflix’s “IO.” It was interesting. More of a meditation than a narrative. Not as sci-fi as I had hoped. Indie AF.
- Watched episode 2, season 2 of “Star Trek Discovery.” It was very good. Its vibe was heaps Start Trek-y. Perhaps even peak Star Trek-y! It was as heady as the best episodes of TNG, while maintaining a modern sensibility (e.g. it was wicked watchable).
Beside rotting my brain on beautiful moving images, I also got to host the first meeting for the D&D group I’ve been invited to GM! I’m wicked excited…mostly because I’m a giant dork and love tabletop roleplaying games a lot, also because it is a weird honor to be invited to GM by a group of mostly strangers.
The “big” non-work related task of the week has been migrating my website off of WebFaction (grrr) and onto blot.im (HOORAY!). Blot…still wicked good.
This week we also welcomed a 12.9″ iPad Pro into our family. It is gorgeous. It replaces Tova’s 5ish year old MacBook Air. She is very proud of it and very pleased.
Now I will eat. I made Baba ghanoush. I love Baba ghanoush. Aubergine is a more fitting name than “Eggplant.” What is eggy about this plant? Surely its most striking feature is its color and not its eggyness. 🍆
Here is a song called Aubergine that I think is v. good.
