Santino D'Antonio is an Idiot

Last weekend was fantastic! However, my TV decided to die for no discernible reason, so I might be a bit behind on watching things. That, and also giving up PS4 for Lent, means I’m not playing anything, but in the game news sphere we found out recently that Pentiment will be on Playstation and PC, and that the original Battlefront and Battlefront II were getting remasters coming out! Hooray!

Currently, I am reading The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin, and enjoying it more than I expected.


This Note takes some inspiration, in spirit at least, from this ACOUP post (which I think I’ve linked to here before). Next week, I think we’re going to try talking about magic in the MCU.


Anyway, let’s talk about John Wick.

Marvel's Loki

 I apologize if this one’s late, or horribly done; I’m a little busy this weekend, so I don’t know that I’ll get this done on time.

My TV appears to have crapped out. That’s… disappointing.


I am re-reading Reaper Man and having quite a good time with it! I also took out Loki: Agent of Asgard from the library, which prompted this essay in my head.

"Dinotopia" for Dragons?

YEAR OF THE DRAGON, BABY!!!




This week had Waitangi Day, that Most Awesomest of Days. It’s been a good week, then, though perhaps I ate too much.


I am caught up on Delicious in Dungeon, I finished The Brothers Sun, and I maybe I’m starting the Netflix adaptation One Piece? And I’m re-reading The Mirror of Merlin by T.A. Barron, thinking again of that annotation site I want to make at some point. Hopefully later this year?


Anyhow, this week I read Dragon Slippers and I also saw How to Train Your Dragon recently, so this might be affecting my thinking.

On Fantastic Religious Weirdness

Hoo boy, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game is out, and, uh, looks like it’s a doozy. They really did it. They really thought a great way to spend your money/time was to develop a looter-shooter at the tail end of that bandwagon, in which you kill beloved superheroes turned into homicidal villains by the Plot, including one who was the main character of the previous four games over the last decade and voiced by a beloved, recently deceased actor. That’s certainly… A Choice.

In good news, though, I read Act of Oblivion this week, which was astoundingly good. Go check it out if you can.


I thought about this Note after a Friday Fun Fact.
