Book madness season is coming up, and I'll be more online than offline again in the following weeks. Still, I'll try to avoid too many online distractions, so if you need to reach me, email is preferred. Thanks!

Reading Plath (The Bell Jar) for the first time atm

Freestyled a vegetarian Goulash. Had a look at how Jamie Oliver does it, then did it wrong

Und ICH werde blöd angeguckt, wenn ich sage, dass ich KI weiterhin komplett boykottiere.

Still bit by the jazz bug, and this is one of my favorite pianists, playing a very fine and special song #NowPlaying

Am 25. Oktober ist in jedem Jahr der #InternationalArtistDay. Und wir hatten letzten Jahr das Glück, mit zwei wundervollen Menschen zusammenarbeiten zu dürfen, um illustrierte Ausgaben von Oliver Plaschkas “Fairwater” - mit Illustrationen von C. F. Srebalus - /1

Jazz, baby

Logged in to my webpage because of the PHP thing and had a look around. Not sure why I'm still doing this, though. About 70-80% of traffic I get is from Chinese and US bots trying to exploit wordpress or store logins that do not exist.

If the current calculation holds true, there are 22 chapters that still need to be written, ideally til end of the year. That's not great, but ... something like a plan

Ich möchte mich nicht politisch zu Vanessa Emde äußern, aber ich bin ein sehr großer Fan ihres Schals

Danke für den schönen Bericht. Ich fühle mich auch jedes Jahr wie in einer parallelen Welt. Conventions als Eskapismus!

"Chasing the Wonder", my new short story. "When the family moves, Esmi is delighted living in a house next to a forest that promises secrets and adventure. But why should she dream carefully? And what’s up with that squirrel on her window sill?"

Finished Small Prophets. My favorite discovery so far this year

Come for the headline Stay for the comments

Happy Indigenous People's Day

Things I want AI to do for me * Emptying the dish washer and putting plates in cupboard * Washing my clothes and putting them on hangers * Using the bog brush to scrape shit from the bog that kids leave there * Putting the bins out * Looking for mould cups that I leave by the sofa

POV: Das erste Mal Stand auf einer Con (für 5 Minuten)

Sad to see those two games disappear from the stores. Working on those was a highlight of my career, not just because it is a legendary adventure series, but because of the great people involved.

I RP'd about it last night but here's a full article. Also that full picture of Margaret standing next to the print out of the computer code that helped land men on the moon, stacked as tall as she is, it probably my favourite historical photograph of all time. R.I.P. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Am Samstag bin ich auf dem #BuCon und freue mich auf viele Begegnungen. Um 18 Uhr dann lese ich aus »Das Lied der letzten Reise«. Gerade habe ich mir die Textpassagen dafür angeguckt. Falls ihr am Samstag auch da seid, dann schaut gerne bei mir vorbei.🙂💚 www.buchmessecon.de/index.php
