I saw Superman and had a great time! Krispy Kremey also has DC superhero-themed donuts, if you’re interested. I just finished re-reading Tyrant’s Throne by Sebastien de Castell, and after that is… The Truth? Or maybe The Mesopotamian Riddle? Could be Delilah Dirk?
I am out of town this weekend, so I’m trying to get a headstart on writing this Saturday Note. The idea has been in my notes for at least half a year now; since pretty early in my start of playing Dragon Age: Inquisition.
I finished the Songs of Penelope trilogy this week, and now I’m reading another Artemis Fowl book–though I realized that I skipped The Artemis Fowl Files and will need to go back for that. I also started playing God of War, and spent a lot of time throwing and catching that axe, because it’s fun as heck.
My laptop doesn’t know if it needs to update or not this week.
Catholic Charities of Central Texas is one of the groups taking help for victims of the floods.
It is the Fourth of July weekend! I am off from work on Friday, so that theoretically gives me time to sit and work more on this Saturday Note. In practice? Uh…. don’t know about that, champs. I had trouble coming up with a subject. I know I told you guys I was going to do Star Wars, but given the holiday I thought it might be nicer to do something related to the country or history or something.
The filler title in my planner was ‘Hope for the Future’, but, uh… it’s not that I have no hope, okay, it’s just that I’m not someone who can exactly do rousing calls for hope. It’d probably end up making me sound stupider than usual.
I also finished Andor and Dragon Age: Inquisition! Next game will probably be God of War, while the next television show is… probably back to Burn Notice. Although the new Librarians is also on Hulu right now.
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.
