I work in a grocery store, so I’m assaulted by Christmas music for a whole month straight. That already puts me at odds with the season, and add into that seasonal depression and not being remotely Christian, Christmas just means less than nothing to me, really.

I’ve started reading through some of my lefty books the past couple of days again, currently reading Immovable Object: North Korea’s 70 Years at War with American Power by A. B. Abrams, from 2020. I have two other Abrams books, but next up might be either The Jakarta Method or Killing Hope, I haven’t decided, and also a re-read of Blackshirts and Reds.

I turned 32 yesterday, and I just want to at least have a better background knowledge than I currently do on some countries, and I’m on a bit of a DPRK-binge right now, having read Gowans a couple of months back.
