LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Discussion Thing

Good day! Being back to work after vacation is hard, but I made it through the week.

Presently, I’m reading Bring Me the Head of Joaquin Murrieta; after that, I have a couple of other nonfiction books from the library (I got too many–I need to pick up a novel soon). Probably giving up the Percy Jackson show because, uh, the writing is dumb overall, so finishing up the Jurassic Park cartoon on Netflix, and starting season two of A Man on the Inside. 

Playing the “Valley of Memory” expansion for Assassin’s Creed: Mirage.

Not Everything is an Exact Allegory

I wasn’t even sure if we’d have a Saturday Note this week. I spent most of it out of town on vacation, so I don’t have a list of notes of things I wanted to talk about, or an outline or something like that. I do have some dragon sketch practice, though.

Presently reading an Avatar book, about Yangchen. I have a lot of laundry to do today, so I'm not sure if I’ll be able to do a lot this weekend.

Now I feel like I've written about this kind of thing before? I can’t find it, though, at least not in the Saturday Notes, so we’re going to go with it anyway.

Final Post of the Year!

It's been a very busy week, so I don't have a full post for you guys--haven't really had the time to sit down, brainstorm, and bang out a Saturday Note. I apologize.

[In case you're wondering, this is also why I'm very behind on book reviews and other things.]

But regardless, I hope you have a Merry Christmas (because as you know, there are Twelve Days of Christmas so we're still in the Christmas Season), that you have a fantastic start to the New Year, and that through this winter you stay nice and warm.

The Permanence of Character Development

I meant to get ice cream yesterday, but I was given a muffin because Free Will is a lie. This past Thursday was the ten-year anniversary of the release of The Force Awakens. I considered writing the Saturday Note about it, but I’ve said a lot about it, so there wouldn’t be anything new. However! There are a lot of interesting thinkpieces and YouTube video essays about the movie out there that are probably better than what I can bang out for a Saturday Note.

Presently finishing up the first season of Percy Jackson on Hulu, and almost halfway through season three of Dark Winds on Netflix. Reading The Land Beyond the Sea, which is really, really good, but also really, really long, and I kind of want to be done with it already (almost made it the topic of the Saturday Note, but I’m not done with it, so that seemed unfair).

Revenge Isn't Everything

Stressful week! Changing plans, lack of contact, and an alarming number of drivers who don’t use turning signals. All very distressing!

Anyhow, I don’t know what’s going on with Burn Notice on Hulu, as it no longer says it’s going off the streamer soon. I did notice that the Disney Percy Jackson series is on Hulu right now, though, and now Turn is back on Netflix. Not sure how much longer I’ll be doing LEGO Star Wars, as there are over a thousand kyber bricks, and, uh, I don’t know if I care that much.

The Purpose of Armor

I’m still on a bit of a post-vacation crash; the Thanksgiving break did not help. Boy, January is going to suck, I think.

This week, I finished season four of The Witcher (which kind of inspired this Note!), and I was planning to begin season three of Dark Winds, but it turns out that Hulu is going to remove Burn Notice in less than two weeks, so I might be doing a mad dash to finish that. I probably won’t finish it all in time, though. Finishing up LEGO Star Wars and the Artemis Fowl series right now.

Lightsaber Relics

Given the holiday this week, I kind of didn’t get around to sitting and writing an outline for my Saturday Note; I just had other things on my mind, I guess. I only vaguely considered skipping this week’s entry, but I’m trying to get as many weeks of this done as I can, and I have the time, so there’s not really a reason not to. And luckily I have a list of unused ideas to write Notes about in my planner, so I’m not entirely void of ideas.

Now I wish I had something remotely Thanksgiving-related to give you guys, but, uh… I don’t even know how to handle that.

Presently reading Prisoners of Geography, which is not as much fun as I had hoped when I first spotted it in Barnes & Noble. I am still playing LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, although I am about halfway through Rise of Skywalker–after which comes a butt-ton of Free Play Mode. And then following that, I think I’ll get back into some Assassin’s Creed? Oh, and I finished Leviathan on Netflix.
