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.

Tehanu, & the Typical Fantasy Protagonist

It’s been a very odd week, all things considered. I had a delightful vacation, but coming back to work was, uh, painful, not helped by some things I got swamped with. I wasn’t even sure if I would be writing a Saturday Note this week, as I didn’t know if I’d be in on Friday, but here we are! And it’s the weekend! And Thanksgiving is coming up! And also I have a thing I need to paint next week…

I am currently re-reading Runemarks again, and I finished the Netflix Leviathan (which reminds me that I need to re-read those books, too). After that I’ll finish season four of The Witcher and then… Dark Winds’s newest season, I think? Presently playing through The Last Jedi on LEGO Star Wars.

There was a bit in which this week’s Saturday Note was going to be the “Reyna is Awesome” Note, as I have Puerto Rican matters on my mind, but we’re going with this one instead.

Greek Mythology Story Ideas

 Hallo! I am out! So I have started working on this Note ahead of time to make sure that I have something to get to you.

Misunderstanding The Lord of the Rings

I will be out of town next weekend, and probably not able to upload something the weekend after that, so I find it unlikely that you’ll get Saturday Notes these next two weeks? I’m not sure. I’ll try to make it up somehow.

When you read this, I am probably reading The Star Wars Archives by Paul Duncan, though I may have moved to something else! I’m struggling to write; not because I don’t have ideas, but because I don’t know how to start the darn thing and it’s bothering me. Maybe I’m missing a writers’ workshop?

The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe is celebrating 75 years, by the way.

The Saturday Note will start a bit political, but we’ll move away from it as we go on, so stick with me.

On Bringing Back Dead Characters

By the time you read this, I expect I’ll have finished another Redwall book, and moved on to a mythology text. I’m still playing LEGO Star Wars and watching Leviathan on Netflix.

The official National Novel Writing Month organization is dead; but the month still exists, so jury’s still out on if I’ll do anything for it? November also has YALLFest’s 15th anniversary, but I will not be able to attend this year as I’ll be busy.

The Value of Talking Animals

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.

"Rethinking Monsters"

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?
