Best line I've read today: "He seemed like a walking blasphemy, a blend of the angel and the ape." - GK Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday

Rewatching Loki, some conclusions:
- Tom Hiddleston is a fantastic actor who hits every beat
- Owen Wilson as Owen Wilson works surprisingly well
- Ke Huy Quan is delightful

I’m preparing a Huberman Lab podcast on colds & flus and how to avoid/treat them. What protocols besides the standard “rest, liquids, wait” advise do you believe can truly help you recover more quickly and/or stay non-infected? I am asking about colds & flu’s only/specifically.

Lots of re-editing the past couple of weeks. Almost done. Been quite a trip revisiting my younger self!

[Hal Emerson @halemersonauth]

Audiobooks take a lot longer to make than I realized! But two chapters are done, and managed to edit two more chapters of Cicero James. Progress is progress 🤘#recording #writing #dothething

[Hal Emerson @halemersonauth]

Didn't hit the goals yesterday--because I spent 14 hours straight editing! Getting The Prince of Ravens ready for #audiobook. Fun revisiting my 22-year-old brain 🤓.

So, goals today are the same as yesterday:
4k new words
2 chapters edited
1 audiobook chapter recorded

[Hal Emerson @halemersonauth]

Goals for the day:
4k new words (Aeon #4)
2 chapters edited (Cicero James)
1 chapter audiobook recorded (Aeon #1)

@MaryleeMacD Thanks, Marylee! :)

[Hal Emerson @halemersonauth]

Daily accounting! 3,478 words written, two chapters edited, 15 minutes of audiobook recorded. #writing #amwriting

[Hal Emerson @halemersonauth]

What’s the best software tool for recording an audiobook? Getting tired of the freeware limitations… end up recording a chapter and it’s all too loud or too quiet and I can’t fix it 🫠 #audiobooks #recording #writing
