Jedi Are Not Boring

Happy Feast Day of Saints Peter & Paul.

Next week is another Camp NaNoWriMo, and you know what that means: existential agony as I try to write (or in this case, finish writing) a novel-length piece. Hopefully by August there will be a finished-ish draft, and I can work from there. Maybe that draft can go somewhere, and I can prove to not be a waste of space!

…I’m in a bit of A Mood after ImpishIdea, where my sporkings and a lot of my writing, went completely dead earlier this week. 

Also! Hey! I have started re-watching season one of Once Upon a Time.

Not Every Story Needs a Mystery

Yesterday was my mother’s birthday! Hooray!

I have one episode left in Death and Other Details, and it’s… eh, I guess. I feel like it goes too much for ‘conspiracy thriller’ instead of ‘murder mystery’ and so it goes way larger than I was hoping for when I started it. 

There’s a bit of a break in book reviews until I finish a couple books that aren’t going to be reviewed for the public because I don’t feel like it.

Greatcoats, Dresden Files, & Hope in Dark Fantasy

This week, I finished watching Warrior and the seasons of Brooklyn 99 on Netflix. I’m now watching Death & Other Details on Hulu (we’ll talk about that, I think) and Chef’s Table: BBQ. I’ve been meaning to watch more documentaries, so we’ll see how that goes! After that, I may re-watch The Librarians or Once Upon a Time (but only the first season).

In the past few days, I’ve had a sore throat. I’m not sick in any other way, just with the throat. It’s not much fun.

This is my sister’s birthday! I had a different Note lined up, but I went with this one because I thought it’d be more interesting for this day.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League - Why Did Anyone Think This Would Work?

Right now, Summer Game Fest is going on, which means we’re getting what’s basically the new E3. After that is Ubisoft Forward, and the reveal of the new Dragon Age the day after that. So! Games stuff. Let’s hope something good gets announced.

I am almost done with Warrior, and I think I’ll be finished up with season four (the final one that’s on Netflix) of Brooklyn 99. After that… who knows? Death and Other Details will probably be on the list, and after reading a tie-in book, I’m wondering if I should get to re-watching The Librarians, assuming I can find it somewhere.

I have wanted to write something like this for a while, but with the recent article on Bloomberg, I decided to go ahead and write it. Batman Arkham Videos has a short rundown of the article and related information, and doesn’t need a subscription to see, unlike the Bloomberg article (although there are ways around that).

Saint Joan of Arc

I am out this weekend, but I am trying to write a Saturday Note ahead of time. 

The library system does not have Dinotopia: First Flight. Disappointing! On the flip side, I’ve read it approximately 10 bajillion times in middle school, as that was the only one of the books in the series that the school library had. 

We are now in the halfway month of 2024, and I feel pretty weird about that.

This Note is perhaps a bit rambling, and I didn’t get to everything I’d like (Joan’s companions/allies in the French military; Gille de Rais is infamous, of course, but seriously, look up La Hire sometime); still, I think I did on okay job?
