It’s been a bit of a weird week. I’m back at work after two weeks of vacation, I’m not sure if my ears have really unpopped after that last plane ride, two Star Trek actors passed away, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is getting New Game+, V for Vendetta is coming back to theaters, and also today is Halloween.
It’s a lot.
I just finished a book about Renaissance Italy, and am now starting up a book about the Cherokee War in the Carolinas.
Gonna try a new game this weekend!
I'm out of town, so just a quick Public Service Announcement for you guys this week.
I’m going on vacation for a couple of weeks, so I don’t expect there to be Notes for those Saturdays.
There’s a great new video on Andor from a YouTuber I follow.
I usually have a lot more notes about what I’m going to say before I actually sit and write a Saturday Note. Not so this week! Part of it is because I scrapped the idea I had written down earlier in the week (I had done it two or three years ago, it seems), and part of it is because I was very busy on Friday.
I am DONE with Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. There are a few things I can do on the game, still, but right now I’ve done everything I really want to do, and I’m tired of running Assassin operations in the Mediterranean.
For Hispanic Heritage Month: this wonderful traditional Spanish song.
Autumn weather is returning, Fulton Sheen is finally Beatified, and so it’s a pretty good week this week.
I am hoping to finish off Assassin’s Creed: Revelations this weekend. I just want to buy some books in-game, and see how that goes, but darn are some of those books expensive.
For Hispanic Heritage Month: here are Mas y Menos from Teen Titans.
Me original plan was to speak to ye ‘bout AI, and related things, perhaps tying in Person of Interest. But in the voyage of preparing for that Saturday Note, I sailed into a rabbit hole that was, uh… it not be a route I advise anyone sailing. And I grew weary of hearing any talk of AI, as I imagine you might be these days, too.
So, today being International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I thought I’d theme me Note over something related to gentlemen of fortune. I pondered writing the entire thing in Pirate Talk, but I reasoned it would be a pain to do and I’d rather be keelhauled than just say what I wanted to.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra announced their tour dates, too.
I had one day this week when I was running on very little sleep, but I can happily say that the nights since have been better. Unsure if I’m behind on my Book Diary–I’m on the fence if I should review one book, because I don’t know if I have anything to say about it.
Reading Argylle by “Elly Conway”. Need a new Netflix show, in the meantime I’m trying out David Letterman’s interview show. Almost done (I hope) with Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.
This is more of a, “I’m thinking about this thing,” sort of Note, so I apologize if this is more boring than usual. Here, if it’s too boring, check out this awesome song from a video game soundtrack.
