I am almost finished with Andor, and DANG this is good stuff. Talking about Andor might end up being next week’s Saturday Note (“Star Wars Without the Jedi”) or something like that? Stay tuned.
Presently, I’m reading Crown of Vengeance by Lackey and Mallory, which is, uh, longer than I expected. Also a lot of long elven names which is taking some getting used to. I have a trip this weekend so I should have time to get through a large chunk of it, though.
It’s my mother’s birthday today!
A bit of an odd week, though sometimes it seems as if I say that every week. Work is… work, though at least I got to read a couple of delightful books. Presently re-reading The Immortal Fire, the third and final book of Anne Ursu’s Cronus Chronicles. Season two of Andor is presently on Hulu (for about two weeks, anyway), and I’m giving that a go. I might re-watch Netflix’s Marco Polo after finishing The Residence–or maybe just Hundred Eyes’ scenes.
I am massively behind on writing this because the Friday night church thing took longer than I’d like (though I kind of expected it to take a while?). I should have started writing this days beforehand.
Presently watching The Residence on Netflix, which is kind of like if Shonda Rhimes tried doing her own Knives Out? Entertaining so far. Book right now is O’Connor’s final Dracopedia. There’s an article about the behind-the-scenes drama behind the development of Dragon Age: Veilguard out by Schreier on Bloomberg, if you’re into that sort of thing (and know how to bypass paywalls).
And UGH laptop updated again this week. Of course, the shower rod, also being a fiend from Hell, also decided to fall down of its own accord again….
Had a bit of a trash week, but no one cares and also I have a cool weekend! A little vacation, if you will. I finished The Recruit on Netflix (which has James Purefoy in it???), and on Hulu I’m alternating between Elementary and Burn Notice.
Now our conversation turns to that subject that our minds always return to when we wish to stimulate deep thought: BIONICLE.
My laptop is, once again, a massive raging douchebag. It began updating Thursday morning, and didn’t finish until Friday evening. UGH. I should get a new one.
I read Impossible Creatures this week, which was quite good, and kind of led to my thoughts here in a very roundabout way. Now I’m reading The Fifth Elephant by Pratchett. Also, I liveblogged my rewatch of BIONICLE3: Web of Shadows a couple of days back, so if you’re on Tumblr you can check that out.
I saw an article about the video game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Polygon, where the writer said, “I can’t wait for it to be adapted to live-action!” and that just made me furious. Not everything needs to be turned into live-action! Doofuses!
Next week I will try to attend an arts festival so I might not be able to write a Saturday Note then.
Hey! The numbers in the date are the same forwards and backwards!
I am getting random body aches sometimes, which is worrisome. Other than that, though, I’m doing okay. Presently reading Breath of the Dragon by Shannon Lee and Fonda Lee (who are not related, I don’t think), and almost done with season one of The Recruit. I am trying to clean out the Frostback Basin in Dragon Age: Inquisition, and then I should be able to race towards the endgame.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade might be coming back to theaters for Father’s Day? Look out for that.
My eye is still partially red, my shoulder somehow hurt itself on Wednesday, while I squished my hand in a car door yesterday. Somehow.
Presently, I am reading Children of Ragnarok by Cinda Williams Chima, and watching The Recruit on Netflix and Burn Notice on Hulu (occasionally catching an episode of Elementary). I have some Batman and Star Wars comics to read, too.
I’m trying to clean up on Dragon Age: Inquisition! Let’s see if I can get to the finale soonish.
