Man, I hope the government shutdown ends soon.
I am presently reading the next Artemis Fowl book, The Atlantis Complex, which is, uh, an installment in the series, I guess. Hm. I finished Mr. Robot and began Leviathan, the anime adaptation of Westerfield’s trilogy. Still on LEGO Skywalker Saga, which has kind of grown on me.
I think I’ve done something like this in a Note before in the last couple of years? We’re doing it anywhere.
I am home this weekend (after last weekend's concert and Ren Fair), and may you all have a very merry No Kings weekend.
Presently re-reading The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Sir Terry Pratchett; after that will, I think, be The Forest Laird by Jack Whyte. I have one more episode of Mr. Robot left, and, uh… this is a bit of a screwy finale? We might talk more when that’s done.
I had originally planned to do a different topic for the Saturday Note, but I switched because I didn’t really like it–or rather, it would involve me being judgy about game mechanics again, which I didn’t think was fair until I got further in this game. Also, Halloween’s coming up, so, uh… monsters?
It’s been a weird week, but I kind of expected that. It’s a short work week, though, and I’m going out of town, so I don’t know if this will go up on time. I hope so.
I’ve got a couple more books to review (on a Stephen King book now), and I started LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which, uh… I’m actually not super impressed with it compared to the original game? That’s a conversation for another day, though.
Happy Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi!
It’s been a bit of a rough week, not least because my computer couldn’t decide if it needed to update (and thus render itself unusable) or not for a few days (rendering itself unusable).
There’s an expected free expansion of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage coming soon, which would be fun after finishing up God of War. If it doesn’t come soon enough, we’re doing LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Might do a Lindsey Stirling concert in November? Hashing things out.
ImpishIdea is back online?? I need to investigate this further.
Presently, I’m reading the one book I found in the Hispanic Heritage Month display in the library’s YA section that wasn’t a romance. Still playing God of War; right now I have done basically everything except kill Sigrun, the Valkyrie Queen, though she has killed me! Let’s see if we can reverse that. And I’m almost done with season three of Mr. Robot.
Yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I be hoping you and yer mateys be having smooth sailing through ye weekend voyages.
I have a lot of nonfiction on my book pile, but right now I’m working on the next book in my Artemis Fowl re-read. Finishing up God of War still–almost cleared Niflheim, and I have two more valkyries to fight before the queen.
If you’re looking for a hot take on current events, you’re not getting it here! So move on.
Did you know Aaron Taylor-Johnson is in the movie adaptation of The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke? Because I didn’t. I also ended up down a Wheel of Time rabbit hole, having found an archive of Robert Jordan interviews. RAFO is a fantastic author answer.
Presently re-reading a book I had to read for my freshman history class on volcanoes and the Bible. It makes sense in context.
A lot of Assassin’s Creed games are on sale in the Ubisoft store, and in other outlets like the PS Store, if you’re interested in that kind of thing.
