Yahoo Mail reformatted itself. Why? Because the Internet is Gehenna, I guess.
I am out of town for YALLFest this weekend, so I am pre-writing this before Friday. Actually, I should be writing these before the final day, anyway, but most of the time the week overwhelms me.
This one was prompted by some discussions I’ve seen about Dragon Age, though this Note isn’t actually about Dragon Age.
Also, “Villains of Dune” sounds like a really crappy Herbert novel.
Hoo boy, we had an election, and, uh… that happened. I was about to wangst about my life choices, but there are bigger issues in the world.
Currently reading a bit of a different book, but we’ll see how it goes! It’s very long, though.
Do you know Skyrim is thirteen years old? Or will be in a couple of days? That’s just nuts.
Happy All Souls’ Day!
I am back from vacation; I am very behind on… just about everything, I guess. The book reviews, the Saturday Notes, and posting photos. I take too many photos; I should have in the next month over a thousand photos onto Facebook. I hope to clean up the camera cards too, as YALLFest is coming up.
Also, there’s a new Dragon Age out? Someone let me know how it is.
I voted early this week. One of the benefits of vacation was almost hearing nothing about the election, but it is the subject of the Note. I apologize.
Just read Alloy of Law by Sanderson, which was fun. Going to try an art book and a new thing next, and then we’ll see what else! I started the Netflix Lara Croft; so far, good, but I’m not very far at all. Also I’m trying out the AMC series Dark Winds, based on Tony Hillerman’s books.
I am about to go on vacation, so don’t expect another Saturday Note for a couple of weeks.
The Global Giving page for Hurricane Helene relief!
I spent actual hours fighting the first dragon in Dragon Age: Inquisition last weekend; hopefully nothing will take me that long this weekend. I’m also on the fence about whether or not to see The Wild Robot in theaters when I can.
In a couple of weeks, I’ll be out for a bit, so we probably won’t get Saturday Notes. I’ll try to make it up to the three of you readers somehow or another.
Got into a weird and disturbing argument on Tumblr this week which was… uh, not quite what I expected to face.
On the game front, WOOT YEAH GHOST OF YOTEI ANNOUNCEMENT!!1!! Also, still Dragon Age-ing. Got to the Skyhold. I am pleasantly surprised by the caliber of the game’s writing. A bit bothered by how little I’m blasting monsters, though.
Read Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States, and presently reading Latin American Writers at Work, so obviously I’m still on a Hispanic Heritage Month kick. The former is also a bit odd to read when the book was published in 2014, and it makes some political predictions that, uh, didn’t quite turn out.
Hispanic Heritage Month began last Sunday!
Bit of a stressful week, but I made it through. I am currently reading Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne, and after that will be a Batman comic, I think. And we’ll see how much Dragon Age: Inquisition I get through this weekend!
