Just read Alloy of Law by Sanderson, which was fun. Going to try an art book and a new thing next, and then we’ll see what else! I started the Netflix Lara Croft; so far, good, but I’m not very far at all. Also I’m trying out the AMC series Dark Winds, based on Tony Hillerman’s books.
I am about to go on vacation, so don’t expect another Saturday Note for a couple of weeks.
The Global Giving page for Hurricane Helene relief!
I spent actual hours fighting the first dragon in Dragon Age: Inquisition last weekend; hopefully nothing will take me that long this weekend. I’m also on the fence about whether or not to see The Wild Robot in theaters when I can.
In a couple of weeks, I’ll be out for a bit, so we probably won’t get Saturday Notes. I’ll try to make it up to the three of you readers somehow or another.
Got into a weird and disturbing argument on Tumblr this week which was… uh, not quite what I expected to face.
On the game front, WOOT YEAH GHOST OF YOTEI ANNOUNCEMENT!!1!! Also, still Dragon Age-ing. Got to the Skyhold. I am pleasantly surprised by the caliber of the game’s writing. A bit bothered by how little I’m blasting monsters, though.
Read Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States, and presently reading Latin American Writers at Work, so obviously I’m still on a Hispanic Heritage Month kick. The former is also a bit odd to read when the book was published in 2014, and it makes some political predictions that, uh, didn’t quite turn out.
Hispanic Heritage Month began last Sunday!
Bit of a stressful week, but I made it through. I am currently reading Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne, and after that will be a Batman comic, I think. And we’ll see how much Dragon Age: Inquisition I get through this weekend!
More Dragon Age this weekend!
I’ve finished re-reading Interesting Times, and will post my review for it soon enough. After that, we’ll do some BPRD and Thursday Next. In the world news, the International Eucharistic Congress is going on in Quito (or it might be finished?).
Also, fun fact, I wrote my notes for this on the same page I did notes for the review of Iron Giant.
I should go on vacation.
I have some weekend plans, and I’m debating whether or not to see a local production of Cat. I’m also working on future plans, including excitement at seeing that Trans-Siberian Orchestra is finally doing a different show this year from “Ghosts of Christmas Eve”.
I’ve been watching Alex Rider on FreeVee, which is good. Playing Dragon Age is going okay, but maybe picking qunari was a mistake? I know nothing about them, which makes roleplaying a bit difficult.
I should finish my T.A. Barron re-read soon, then continue with BPRD and Discworld. Still Dragon Ageing, and trying to find my footing in Thedas. Any tips would be welcome there.
Oh! And Mondaybor Day is Labor Day.
