The Language Barrier

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. 

On Obsidian Trilogy Elves

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.

I Want More Pirate Fantasy

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.

Incorporating Short Stories Into Canon

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.

Good Examples of Deconstructions

Week’s been slow, but we have a long weekend and I got out of work early on Friday! Hooray! 

Presently reading The Demigod Files, the first book of short stories set in the world of Percy Jackson, and still playing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Not thrilled with how much of my time in the game is spent managing my recruits in foreign cities rather than actually playing the game, which is an issue I had the first time I played it, too.

Let's Talk About Deconstruction

Look, I am fed up with surprise meetings in the morning, so if you send me a message asking to meet up in ten minutes, I’m going to throw something at you.

Re-reading The Illustrated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes right now, and still playing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. I’ve been watching American Vandal on Netflix, though I also might try to get back into The Weekenders? We’ll see.

I Know a Trope!

I had a long, slow week–but not a bad one! Hoping to write a bit this weekend, and I hope to draw a specific thing. 

Finishing up Borderkind by Christopher Golden. I finished Dark Winds on Netflix, so we’ll see what the next show is.
