It's the Sunday scaries month of the summer for me, which is ridiculous because who else gets two months off from their job every year? (Aside from, you know, people in civilized countries that get actual vacation days.) ## Reading -I'm continuing to work my way through *Mood Machine*. I'm still enjoying it, but I have a lot of books to get through for my syllabus, so I might need to take a break. Luckily, those are all young adult books, so they go by quick. +I finished *Mood Machine*. It was fantastic — an illuminating look into the music industry and perhaps one of the great anti-capitalist works of this decade. Pelly offers no easy solutions (a problem this big and complex wouldn't have any) but rather a call to action for a societal and economic shift toward collectivism and independence rather than a corporate machine that devalues artists and alienates individuals. Highly recommend! + +I now need to start reading through the books for my syllabus — they're all young adult lit and books I've read before, so they go fast. *Speak* by Laurie Halse Anderson is first up. ## Watching Joe and I watched through [Austin Walker's Let's Play of *Knights of the Old Republic II* ](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzb96hSa04DPbyVmGawLPUYr9DUG99k8Q)— or at least, what he has out right now, which is through Dxun.
