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.

John Wick is (Relatively) Well-Adjusted

I’m out of town again this weekend, with even less writing time, so hopefully I can get this out on time and you can read it.

To try something else, I started playing Stray on PS4. It’s fun so far! I’ve just caught up on book reviews/readings, but I should have a couple of really long books to get through soon (if I haven’t already).

On Cold Iron

I am out of town this week, but I hoped to write a Saturday Note! I thought I’d try to talk about something again instead of doing a sort of argument/criticism piece. And not about Assassin’s Creed this time! 

RIP Anthony Head.

Assassin's Creed in Space

My stomach appears to be a lot less grumpy than it was last weekend! I’ll take that win. Next week I’m out of town again, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to get a Saturday Note up in time.

Right now I’m almost done with Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Naturally the following game might be Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, but I’m a bit tired of playing Assassin’s Creed games for the moment, so we might take a break with something like Stray. Finishing up Going Postal, then we’re onto a new book.


This one doesn’t really have an argument, it’s more like, “Hey, this is crazy, and I want to talk about it.”
