Humancentrism

I am out of town this weekend, so it was a bit of a toss-up if the Saturday Note will be posted on time! But here we are!

I am almost done with season one of Once Upon a Time, and the new season of The Dragon Prince is here. I’m also getting towards the endgame of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, so Al-Bahamut, watch you back!


This week I read Black Shield Maiden and Damsel, though the Note is more inspired by Great Tree of Avalon.

The Neil Gaiman Situation

It is unclear if I will have a Saturday Note next week–I hope to, but I may not be able to, as I will be busy most of Friday, which is when I usually write these. We will see!

Camp NaNoWriMo continues to go on okay, and I expect that soon I’ll have to start wrapping up this story.


This is a bit more serious than other Notes, so I apologize for it not being as fun. And there are a couple of not-fun links. Sorry.

On Anthony Carver of Gunnerkrigg Court

Camp NaNoWriMo is going okay; I’m only doing 700 words a day, which isn’t very difficult, so I’m mostly getting over half of it done before work in the morning. I didn’t play AC: Mirage during the week, though I’m quite excited to get to it this weekend. And I’m almost finished with season one of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.

I almost made this about Neil Gaiman, given that bit of news from last week, though I don’t know if that’ll make it into a Saturday Note or a Tumblr post or what. I have thoughts, though.


I’ll try to not get too bogged down in Plot for this one, given I’m pretty sure, like, none of you read Gunnerkrigg Court.

The American Epic

Happy weekend after the Fourth of July! Remember, if you can’t find fireworks, you can always stuff some aluminum foil into a microwave to have a cool light/explosion show!

I am continuing to watch Once Upon a Time, and I think that maybe I’ll write a Note about it somewhere down the line? I suspect that’ll be when I finish the season. The one season. The only season. Shame no more happened after that, you know.


Also! I’m having a blast playing Assassin’s Creed: Mirage. Jumping around medieval Baghdad and stabbing people is great fun! Al-Rabisu, you better watch your back!

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.
