Hispanic High Fantasy

Got into a weird and disturbing argument on Tumblr this week which was… uh, not quite what I expected to face.

On the game front, WOOT YEAH GHOST OF YOTEI ANNOUNCEMENT!!1!! Also, still Dragon Age-ing. Got to the Skyhold. I am pleasantly surprised by the caliber of the game’s writing. A bit bothered by how little I’m blasting monsters, though.

Read Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States, and presently reading Latin American Writers at Work, so obviously I’m still on a Hispanic Heritage Month kick. The former is also a bit odd to read when the book was published in 2014, and it makes some political predictions that, uh, didn’t quite turn out.

Spain in Fiction

Hispanic Heritage Month began last Sunday! 

Bit of a stressful week, but I made it through. I am currently reading Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne, and after that will be a Batman comic, I think. And we’ll see how much Dragon Age: Inquisition I get through this weekend!

Retcons

More Dragon Age this weekend!

I’ve finished re-reading Interesting Times, and will post my review for it soon enough. After that, we’ll do some BPRD and Thursday Next. In the world news, the International Eucharistic Congress is going on in Quito (or it might be finished?). 

Also, fun fact, I wrote my notes for this on the same page I did notes for the review of Iron Giant.

Location Matters

I should go on vacation.

I have some weekend plans, and I’m debating whether or not to see a local production of Cat. I’m also working on future plans, including excitement at seeing that Trans-Siberian Orchestra is finally doing a different show this year from “Ghosts of Christmas Eve”.

I’ve been watching Alex Rider on FreeVee, which is good. Playing Dragon Age is going okay, but maybe picking qunari was a mistake? I know nothing about them, which makes roleplaying a bit difficult.
