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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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).
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.
