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.
The week’s been alright, though I am woefully behind on the book reviews. And I need to actually write stuff like fiction or sporkings or something. I have a day trip today, though, so I suspect I won’t get much writing or reading done.
Presently on another Katherine Briggs fairy book.
It’s a long weekend because Mondaybor Day is Labor Day! I got out of work early on Friday, but that also means I don’t have any desk notes for the Saturday Note, so this is a bit more spontaneous than usual. Which is sort of saying something, because I still don’t usually get notes for this until Saturday.
I am getting towards the end of the main story of God of War, though it will still keep me busy for a while. I’m reading Ron Chernow’s biography of George Washington, which is really long, though I should also get a couple of comics out of the way this weekend.
There was a different idea for a Note, about immigrants/refugees in fantasy, but I don’t know if I have enough material for that, other than I want more of it.
I am out of town, but hopefully I can get this to go up on time. I have finished Thief of Time this week. I have a few other books (perhaps, too many?) for this trip, so I should have read another volume or two by the time I get home.
Gamescom was this past week, which included an announcement for a new LEGO Batman game, and it looks AMAZING? I’m also getting towards the end of the main story of God of War; a bit weird to be playing a new game that’s not a bajillion years long.
A bit of a short one, since I have less time to write it this week.
There was a while where subtitles on Hulu didn’t seem to be working (or at least, not in sync with the audio); but that’s been fixed, so this week I finished The Three Musketeers: Milady in French! Had a cliffhanger ending, though, which was, uh, a bit of a surprise.
Presently reading an Alatriste book.
I will be out of town next weekend, so I don’t know if I’ll have time to write another Saturday Note. But we will see!
