Oof, stressful week, I have horrible headaches, but it is still the Easter season, it is the weekend, and I have some Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood to play! And I’m caught up on all the books I had been planning on, so that is a bit of a relief (now I need to find some more…).
And I got Return of the King (Extended Edition) from the library!
We are in the Easter Tridium! That means that it’s not Easter yet, but it’s darn close!
I am almost caught up on my reading list, which means… I have to pick up new books to read. The library’s got me covered, though. I should be able to finish up Assassin’s Creed II soon, and after that, we’re doing Brotherhood I think?
Allergies haven’t been as bad these last couple of days, so I think pollen levels are going down? Hopefully I haven’t spoken too soon.
I watched a lot of Star Wars last weekend so this is on my mind, and with Easter and everything, redemption’s on my mind.
Hello! I am out of town for a bit so this might not be a full Saturday Note! Or it might be! I’ll find out when I finish writing it. While I’m working on this, I am reading Persepolis, I have finished the “Bonfire of the Vanities” section on Assassin’s Creed II, and the next book is probably going to be Thieves’ Quarry, I think?
The world is rough out there, so here’s a link to cheer you up. And remember:
NO KINGS.
Most days this past week, I have woken up with an achey, throbbing ear. This is not ideal for someone who has to listen to phone calls all day for work! So that’s fun.
I am currently reading Play of Shadows by Sebastien de Castell, and in Assassin’s Creed II I got to the Bonfire of the Vanities. Hopefully, I’ll get to writing those Sea of Monsters annotations, though having recently re-read The Patriot Witch, that book would also be a good one for annotations?
Had the strangest urge to write poetry Friday morning…
My stomach has been weird these past few days, but I think it’s mostly settled. It’s been worse before, though, so thank goodness for that.
It is PI DAY! Eat some pie. Saint Patrick’s Day is coming up, if you go to parties for that? It’s, unsurprisingly, not as big a deal in this Puerto Rican household.
Right now I’m re-reading The Sea of Monsters and taking notes for annotations. After that is a de Castell book? I think? It might be Patriot Witch. I’m a little behind on my reading.
I am out of town this week! So we have a shorter Note than usual.
As for reading/gaming update: I am starting a new urban fantasy series, October Daye–which is quite fun so far! It’s interesting to see another urban fantasy author cover the fae stuff, and also weird to see someone with a fantasy series revolving around fae courts long before the romantasy takeover of the concept.
[I mean, obviously, there were a bunch of these, it’s just now that they really took off in public awareness with that, and it’s weird.]
Still playing Assassin’s Creed II!
Yesterday, Pokemon turned 30 years old!
I am planning a trip next weekend, so I don’t know if I will be able to do a Saturday Note then. I will try, though.
Remember that, as it is Lent, if you have a Catholic parish near you, you will probably find a Friday night Fish Fry, if you feel like doing fish & chips that night.
