In Praise of the Cadmus Arc

I thought that the edition of Assassin’s Creed: Origins that I bought on sale, came with the expansions. It does not. Which is fine, really, because the season pass goes on sale often, and it’s a ways before I finish the main game anyway. I am currently reading Red Seas Under Red Skies, which I’m pretty excited about, and a couple of comics this weekend.

This was a contender for last week’s Saturday Note, but I wasn’t finished with the season when I started writing, so I thought I’d give it a week to sit in my head. And I almost forgot about the idea! But it’s cool, it’s back.

Adaptational Incompetence

My computer is having… issues with the charger, so I am working on a different computer. I don’t know how this affects my writing output; I’ll be doing my best, but I don’t know if I can write as much the next few days as I work this out. As such, we’re counting words on Saturday Note and Fun Facts for the word count total for the day.

Not that you guys keep track of these things, but it’s happening.

I am currently playing Assassin’s Creed: Origins, and I have Egypt on the mind, so I was tempted to talk about Egyptian myth or a fantasy based on Egyptian history/mythology. But instead this occurred to me (it came up in conversation recently).

Waller Doesn't Need to Hide Much

 Hallo! I am behind on my Book Diary, which has me a bit worried. I’m also hoping to have a short story finished so that I can work on Camp NaNoWriMo, starting today, so I need to make sure I get on that. I hoped to also get a new Impish article out soon. Ish. We will see!

The new season of The Witcher is on Netflix, as is Nimona–but I have the DVD of SHAZAM! Fury of the Gods from the library, so I probably won’t get to all of that now. Also, I’ve started the fourth season of The Expanse.

Anyhow some reflections on Justice League Unlimited! This one’s pretty link-heavy, and I apologize.

Tying Protagonist to Plot

 I don’t know why, but I’ve noticed that on my drive back from work I tend to be in a fairly depressed mood. Maybe I just need to listen to my iPod on the drive back rather than the radio (I generally do iPod in the morning drive, radio in the evening).

I finished another book series this week, which was super cool! I’m glad I did it. At some point soon I will also re-read Stroud’s other big-name series, the one that I actually own signed books for.

I heavily considered doing a "Angelopolis is quite terrible" Note, but for now I'll spare you.

Korra's Powerlessness

 This week has been exhausting, but I’m hoping for a relaxing weekend of playing Assassin’s Creed and reading and eating delicious food.

I finished watching Justice League on Netflix, and will soon be starting Justice League Unlimited. The Batman cartoon is also on Netflix, and I’m debating with myself whether or not I want to re-watch it, too.

Also I finished rewatching Legend of Korra (which inspired this Note) and Leverage (which did not).

The Absent Love Interest

 I made rice last night! And I missed doing that. I made a little too much because I’m hoping to share it at some point. Hopefully, I also get to grill this weekend! If not, well then that’s too bad but there will still be delicious food.

This week I read The Lies of Locke Lamora, which was fun! And it inspired this Saturday Note.

On Greek Mythology Adaptations

This weekend marks the release of Across the Spider-Verse; I will not see it this weekend, I think, but hopefully next weekend (or the one after that!) I shall get to it. The first movie is one of my favorites, after all!

Currently I am rewatching Legend of Korra, and I’ve gotten to the final season. I considered a Note about that but I already did one recently, so put that on the backburner. I’m also rewatching Justice League (the animated series) which is great fun!

I wasn’t sure if there even would be a Saturday Note this week, but we’re going to give it a go!
