Im at the Notre Dame in Montreal and I’m pretty positive I’m going to have to fight some Dark Souls/Bloodborne boss soon. Def using the pillars to my advantage.

This station is called Camp-de-Mars. And while I don’t speak French, I’m pretty positive this says Champion of Mars. I’ve never felt more seen.

Montreal, I approach. Prepare your finest poutines and smoked meat. Unfortunately, my grade 9 French is pretty spotty. So I will speak with mine eyes and mine eyes only.

My friends, I got a job 😭. I’ve been unemployed for most of the year and things were getting scary. But, I can breathe again. I can buy books again! I can sleep again.

For some reason I’ve been managing my anxiety by playing 2D pixel art fighting games from the 90s. Mostly Street Fighter. But I just tried SNK’s Garou: Mark of the Wolves. It plays super smooth, and feels nice, but I’m finding it so much more bland than, say, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

Reason why Padme sucks: excuses the genocide of Tusken Raiders cuz of Anakin’s involvement, but when he goes against the interests of her political party, now he’s “going down a path [she] cannot follow.” Reason why Padme is actually awesome: Natalie Portman and her pretty outfits. This is true.

Seeing Supergirl go #1 in 20 countries with brand new fans falling in love with it makes me happy. But I am bummed about the influence that comic book incel nerds have. Still, I’m hyped it’s getting new life on streaming cuz I want to see more of Kara!

I’m such a big fan of Terminator 2 that I tend to ignore the first one. But I recently rewatched it and my god it’s cool. Look at the way “TECH” flashes behind Arnold in this cool 80s dance club.

Yesterday I finally beat the boss Gill in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (1999). I did it as Chun-Li and therefore we are bonded now for all of time. With Gill defeated, I am the God Emperor now. Do not be afraid of mine own beauty, friends. I will be fair but horrible.

One of my favourite things about writing Lady Blood ancient Mayan stories is cracking open some old university research text nobody ever reads like Gandalf scouring forgotten scrolls at the library of Minas Tirith and discovering some secret knowledge.

I can’t wait for the new Lanterns TV Show. It will occupy the entirety of my mental energy on weekends. All I ask from YOU is that if I start talking about buying a replica green lantern ring, yell at me, and remind me of prior me’s words: I DO NOT need a Green Lantern ring.
