Where the fuck did spring go? Why are we back in Winter again. Truly, truly despise this shit. Enough of this already! Even the flowers are blooming and the stupid cold refuses to just leave for rest of the year.

This has been an exhausting week already with a sick kid and heavy work load. Hopefully things get better later in week just in time for spring vacay!

The follow up to The Three Body Problem is spectacular as well, though it does suffer from a rather weird translation. Especially if you jump into this book right after first, the translation becomes obvious – its not nearly as captivating or as free flowing as first book. The first third of the book makes you go what is going on, but the final third of this book is just brilliant. I kept thinking I know how this is all going only to be stumped again & again.

What a spectacular book. The ideas and thoughts in this book are just beyond compare. Its not a wonder that this is considered one of the best sci-fi books in recent times. Kudos to the translator for a phenomenal job!
As per WSJ apparently Austin, the hottest market for real estate past decade is cooling down significantly. I am like, color me surprised. Look, Austin is an amazing city, and heck, we’ve thought about how nice Austin might be to live too many, but the state politics has pretty much ensured that we’d never think about moving there or anywhere in Texas. Imagine, just imagine where Texas could’ve been with lets say a blue state government?
If you told me 6 months back it was the NY civil case that would cause Trump the most heartburn (considering he’s basically been going on a free ride on all others) I would’ve been surprised. Whatever, make the motherfucker burn.
What happened to Marie Kondo? She is completely out of news now. Did she run out of houses to empty out?
Watching the Taylor Swift ERAS concert movie on Disney plus and my god what a show. We are watching 30 mins each day and I can totally see why my kid so so so so wants to do this concert live this year. The resale tix are expensive but I wonder if I should just splurge for the kid to give her the experience of her lifetime. By all means the show looks totally worth it.
Also, I am surprised how many songs I know so well and can sing / hum along now. I guess I will love this concert as well if we do.
Let’s see if this fixes the problem. Omg it did. The problem I was having for last few weeks was that the keyboard would shift to numeric randomly. The fix to it was to turn off slide to type setting in settings and now it’s much better! I don’t even remember turning that thing on!
Happy to report an under represented and a poo4 student we had been sponsoring in India graduated today as a doctor (MBBS). Go on and prosper my friend and save lives! One of our very fulfilling days this.
