* Flew back to the states for a short visit.
* Fixed a pair of really nasty bugs in [Bones][] on the plane.

+
+* Traveling in the US. I miss American food.
+* I had left a cache of paper books at a friend's place in the US, so I read
+ through a few while I was there.
+* Read through [ANSI Common Lisp][]. Pretty basic, nothing too advanced in it.
+ It reminded me how much I hate Paul Graham's function/variable naming style.
+ Aim for brevity of *ideas*, not characters.
+* Read/skimmed [Successful Lisp][]. Also pretty basic, but kind of weird at the
+ same time. It seemed to just skim a lot of topics and not really go in-depth
+ enough on any of them. Except for the chapter about the bit-twiddling
+ operations, which I haven't seen in any other Lisp book (except maybe
+ [CLtL2][]). I don't think I'd recommend it.
+* Read through most of the [OpenGL SuperBible][]. Graphics programming is some
+ really neat and powerful stuff wrapped in a hilarious nest of disgusting
+ syntax and boilerplate.
+* I really want to play around with shaders and such, but the C++ development
+ environment seems like an enourmous pain in the ass. There's also [CEPL][]
+ but I'm worried that I should really know some OpenGL before diving into that.
+ I might poke at WebGL a bit as a middle ground.
+* Read through [On Writing][] by Stephen King. Some good advice in there,
+ especially about just reading and writing a *lot*. I haven't been reading
+ enough lately -- so from now on the Kindle is gonna replace my phone while on
+ the bus.

+* Still jet lagged. Catching up on things back in Iceland.
+* Halfway through [Salem's Lot][]. I forgot how much I loved reading fiction.
+* Grabbed a bunch of GDC talks from [this thread][Reddit GDC] to watch later.
