- Reading: VAV1 mutations contribute to development of T-cell neoplasms in mice, in addition to the two books I hope to finish this month.
- Watching: A master contortionist.
- Playing: The Dead South, a kids’ favorite.
- Feeling: Quite well actually, considering.
- Reading: T follicular helper phenotype predicts response to histone deacetylase inhibitors in relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma
- Watching: Democracy in action, and freedom of speech. Both are good, no? OK, maybe not
- Playing: Just One which is the perfect game to play with a precocious 8-year-old
- Feeling: Feverish. Let’s hope it’s just the vaccine.
- Reading: The Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas: an Unusual Path to Cure
- Watching: Vitalik Buterin talks to Tyler Cowen. I don’t understand why this only has 2k views
- Playing: Season 2 of The Americans, and also its most excellent soundtrack
- Feeling: Good about today. Tomorrow, not so much.
- Reading: Edward Tufte’s website, in preparation for his new book which I will also read at some point this year, I hope
- Watching: These Tinderbox video tutorials are an excellent introduction to a powerful application
- Playing: Running with the Wolves at bedtime, on repeat. Don’t ask.
- Feeling: Thankful that my parenting skills aren’t a trending topic on Twitter.
- Reading: TCR and TCL1A collaboration in T-PLL, an article from late last year about T prolymphocytic leukemia, sometimes called T-CLL, both being misnomers.
- Watching: Video of a hawk (or is it a falcon?) picking on a rat carcass on top of a traffic light in DC, courtesy of my wife. I’ll spare you the gory details.
- Playing: Hunt a Killer, which is a birthday present I may finally get to since we are now 2 for 3 in rainy days this year.
- Thinking: If I am typing this on the phone is it still considered writing?
- Reading: My Name is Red and A Pattern Language, still. The beginning few chapters of the latter give the best explanation for why McMansions are a waste of space, with square foot upon square foot of single-use (or no-use!) space.
- Watching: Season 1 of The Americans soon to be completed. Tough stuff.
- Playing: Dark Souls III (or rather I will attempt to do so… the Elder Signs game went fine yesterday until the youngest decided sucking on monster tokens is great use of his time)
- Eating: black beans (like most cooking websites this one too has SEO’d itself into parody, but it is a good recipe)
- Thinking: Does birdwatching count as playing? Because with the gorgeous weather outside a walk in the woods will be in order.
- Read: Cell Biology by the Numbers online, My Name is Red and A Pattern Language offline. But American Registry of Pathology Expert Opinions: Recommendations for the diagnostic workup of mature T cell neoplasms is the only thing I’ll finish (and you can tell from the title it’s a page-turner)
- Watch: Season 1 of The Americans and also this YouTube channel in the background, as one of the children is quite the car enthusiast.
- Play: Elder Sign which is the perfect game to play on a rainy day, and what better way to welcome in the New Year than by fighting the Ancient Ones.
- Eat: Leftovers from The Federalist Pig (or The Capitalist Pig, as a friend tends to mispronounce it constantly in what is quite the Freudian slip).
- Think: How long can I keep this up? I give myself until the end of next week.
