Fantasy Doesn't Have to Be Realistic

 I’m running very late with writing this Saturday Note, and it has been a heck of a Friday, what with traffic problems, stomach problems, allergy problems, and also the smoke detector refuses to accept a new battery. I would normally detach it and hide it somewhere, but I can’t figure out how to detach the thing from the ceiling. It’s entirely possible I might shoot the thing. With what? I don’t know!

I kind of wanted to do something for Women’s History Month, but I can’t think of a really solid idea for that. I dunno. Look up Khutulun or something.

Dramatic Gaps in Prose

So, a couple of weeks ago I was under the weather, but I got better! And then the pollen hit, and I’m back to coughing like I’m sick. Other than that, I’m feeling okay, though. Finished Star Wars: Cestus Deception, and my favorite character was the snail lawyer, and presently working through Andor.

Monday, there was an event at the library about illuminated manuscripts, and we watched Secret of Kells, which is a fantastic movie. Because of that, I almost made this Note about Vikings again, but I think I have railed about them enough? I think?

This subject’s been coming for a while.

Lawyers in Fiction

I am out of town this weekend, so I hope this goes up in time. I started writing this earlier in the week than usual, taking notes on one of the train ticket printouts from last year’s big vacation.

It’s the Ides of March! Watch your back, and avoid toga parties.

So I’m trying out Andor while the first season is on Hulu. People have been saying it’s good. Not sure what the next book will be at this point.

Stories Must End

My nose is runny, which is quite annoying; otherwise, I’m mostly okay. I’m trying out letters for Lent, and also making some kind of travel plans? It’s all a bit messy right now.

I’m finishing up the Bloodsworn Trilogy, which is good but also terrible because they just killed off the coolest character. After that might be a Scott Hahn book? Or maybe a Witcher comic.

Daylight savings this weekend! And now for the Saturday Note originally planned for last weekend.

On Operational Information

My computer took two days to update…

I finished Dragon Pilot on Netflix; it inspired this Note. After that, I think I’ll get to watching the seasons of Brooklyn 99 that Netflix just put up. Book-wise… not sure! Probably an art book.

I had a completely different topic in mind! I wrote some notes! But this one pulled on my brain and I realized I had more original thoughts on this one.

Black History Month Character Ideas

It is a bit cold here, February is about to end, but today is scheduled to be a good day. I just need to make sure I stay warm.

I am still working through Dragon Pilot on Netflix, as well as Burn Notice on Hulu. Reading-wise, I have begun to realize that I should really get into the Cosmere novels by Sanderson.

On Crafting in Video Games

Happy Day After Valentine’s Day! Don’t give me cake. I’m tired of it.

I realized Friday that my argument on the last Note was that the Death Star is equivalent to civilian bombing. Maybe the nuclear bomb is a better analogy? I need to think more about this.

Currently, I am watching Dragon Pilot on Netflix, an anime about dragons who are also airplanes. I re-read Artemis Fowl (the signed copy!), which was great fun. Next novel will probably be Sanderson’s Lost Metal. I’ll try to watch the Netflix animated Witcher movie this weekend, too.

Bit of life advice: with everything going on, don’t let politics consume your life. It’s important to keep up with current events, but you can’t forget to breathe once in a while.
