Hi. My name is Chris Glass and this is a place where
I put stuff. In my spare time, I devise schemes to create more
spare time.

LISTENING
 |
Taylor Swift - folklore
A nice surprise! |
|
The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form
There’s no good reason an album can meander this much and still work in a single listen. |
|
Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters
Another surprise. Unrelated, I can't decide if I’m sad Fiona doesn't have a personal website or not. |
|
Harry Styles - Fine Line
My friend insisted I listen to this on her record player and dang if I'm now listening to it all the time. |
 |
This tiny icon is for singles. I’m currently listening to Lebanon by J.S. Ondara on repeat |
|
Taylor Swift - Lover
I listened to this more than any other album in 2019
|
|
Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride
This one goes in a few more directions and I quite like it |
|
Decemberists - I’ll Be Your Girl
I really like where they went with this record. It breaks from their mold in just the right ways |
|
Vulfpeck - Hill Climber
I learned about this band because they have a typeface |
|
Tame Impala - Currents
This feels like lots of other things from the past blended together and tweaked through dreamy filters, and I'm more than ok with that |
|
Whenever I start to cook, I usually put on this mix called “Cocktails” Spotify |
READING
 |
Station Eleven
Emily St. John Mandel
I can’t remeber reading a book so quickly. Suprisingly uplifting considering the topic (an epidemic that wipes out 99%+ of the world) |
|
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
John Berendt
Dunno why I wanted to read this, but I know it is a favorite book of Casey’s. Thoroughly enjoyable. Makes me long to travel again, then again, so does everything. |
|
Stillness is the Key
Ryan Holiday
You know when you dog ear a page to come back to it? I’ve done this to every other page in this book. (Finished it, dug it) |
|
Creativity Inc
Ed Catmull
In the midst of this on the recommendation from a client. Enjoying very much so far |
|
Keep Going
Austin Kleon
The third in a series. This one is all about not giving up and it is exceptionally relevant. |
|
Kitchen
Banana Yoshimoto
This is excellent bedtime reading. It's comfortable like food. (Thanks to Joseph for the reccomendation) |
PLAYING
 |
Control PS4
Excellent third person action game, increidbly cinematic, story was fine, but the evolution of abilities is top notch. Took a while to finish, totally worth it. |
|
The Last of Us Parts I & II PS4
I had put the first title down a quarter way through because I was stuck. But when the second part was ready to drop I finished it. Very few times have video games made an imprint as much as these combined stories. These games are hard, emotionally. But oh so worth it. |
|
Ori and the Blind Forest Switch
This Microsoft Studio game almost got me to buy an Xbox 5 years ago. It came out on Nintendo Switch last year and I didn’t know. It’s very Hollow Knight, but prettier. |
|
The Way of the Turtle Apple Arcade
Simple platformer, kid friendly, kinda mellow. Dig it. |
|
Dead Cells Switch
Also Metroidy, but leans Castlevania witha touch of Gauntlet thrown in and so much more. |
|
Hollow Knight Switch
Very Metroidy, or as they call this type of side scrolling game, Metroidvania. SUPER ENJOYED, until it got too hard and then I stopped playing. Still worth it. |
|
God of War 2018
Incredibly solid reboot (?) of the old PlayStation series. Could've been longer, but escalates and flows wonderfully. |
|
Super Mario Odyssey
I finished this and moved on, but it was a fun ride. |
|
Two Dots
After reading all the year end praise, I picked up a used copy and am preparing myself to get freaked out. (iOS) |
|
Limbo
I still haven't finished this game, but I keep coming back to it. (Multiplatform) |
