My Contribution to The Odyssey Discourse

 I am out of town for this weekend, and I dunno, I had trouble writing a Saturday Note. I just didn't feel it this week, you know? Just busy planning stuff.

 So. A bit of a short one this week.

Fandom Echo Chambers

I am out of town next weekend, so while I will try to get a Saturday Note written in time, I don’t know for sure if it will come out. 

I thought I’d have a new review of National Treasure on the movie review blog, except it turns out that I already made a review years ago! So I’ll add some new observations.

Randomly had the thought earlier this week: I should go to DragonCon. Doubt that’ll happen this year, though.

Centuries of Practice

I FINISHED my re-read of The Battle of the Labyrinth, and I have Thoughts, and you’ll see them if you see my book reviews. Now it’s a book about writing. Playing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, which is going okay, I guess? I dunno, I like the story, but the gameplay has never really been my thing in that one. The Odyssey is out, though I don’t know when I’ll get around to seeing it.

This Note, as will become evident, was inspired by Dead Gods.

On Evil Superman

It’s Slurpee Day! 7-11!

Hello! I am back on Assassin’s Creed with Revelations (I should have done AC3 for the Fourth, but I’m a stickler for being in order). I am re-reading Thud!; after that is a book about writing, I think. Or maybe I finally get to annotating Battle of the Labyrinth? 

And! I have been watching My Adventures with Superman! It’s a delightful series, and it inspired this week’s Saturday Note.

Also! Yes! We have some tomatoes.

American Revolution Recommendations

Arms still feel weird, and my plans for next weekend kind of crashed, but I get a long weekend! It’s the Fourth of July! Independence Day! Nobody drink tea, or you’re not Patriot!

I have been getting weirdly into this thing by Matt Rhodes, one of the concept artists on Dragon Age, titled Dead Gods, which is a crazy fantasy take on the story of Noah? With some Book of Enoch and other bits thrown in there.

Also! I finished Stray!

The Villain Ensemble

I was feeling a bit down on Friday, but when I got home, I had a letter in the mail! So that was exciting. I still need to figure some things out, though. Also my arm has been hurting/feeling weird? Hopefully, I’ll be better by Monday. I’m out of town today, in what’s planned to be a relaxing history day.

Finished a book that was a history of the steampunk subgenre. It was alright? It was fine. Not sure what’s next.

Movies as the Default Form of Storytelling

I woke up yesterday with my guts feeling downright awful, though I expect by the time you read this I’ll be much better. If not, then, uh… hm. Problem.

Presently reading a collection of science-fiction stories that I found in a book sale about a month ago. After that is re-reading either The Demon Redcoat or The Battle of the Labyrinth. And I’m still playing Stray.
