I have always heard good things about Wake so I am looking forward to it. If forced to pick one I would probably pick Rise, yeah. I prefer to cheat, though, and pretend they are one big game. Also, they would rate a place on my favorite console games list along with the Arkhams, Horizons and Control. I still tear up thinking about reading a comment from someone at Square Enix or maybe it was Eidos...someone somewhere...saying they had no plans for further Tomb Raider games. I bought the 2013 game on a whim and really bonded with it. This is happy news. I am cautiously interested and will remain so until I learn they are going to fuck it up, like they did Cyberpunk, by making it first person.

I have found a new favorite ten hour rain video and also switched my auto+renters insurance to Progressive which dropped my payment to less than a third what it had previously been.

A few days ago I decided on a game buying mini-binge. I bought... Valkyrie Elysium Skyrim High Isle Tomb Raider Trilogy...TR, Rise and Shadow. Alan Wake

I have become addicted to the youtube videos that show some interesting view for hours. I will usually have on one of the 'rain outside cozy apartment/hotel with view of city' or one of the space videos. Lately it's been a wormhole video but I will go a while on the city ones as well. I don't actually sit and watch for more than few minutes, but it's on as I wander around my apartment so I can pause and look at it for a while periodically.

Ice cream is good but cake is better. I likely crave cake on more days than I crave ice cream at a ratio of 10-1. The best ice cream is chocolate chip and that has remained consistent throughout my life. Stop...hold on...that does NOT mean mint chocolate chip, which of course is an aberration. Naturally, supporters of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream should burn in hell. Reading this thread makes me crave some cake.

Go Hawks.

I believe it. Pink is pretty great I think.

I have just begun Emmett's The Throne of the Five Winds...I have read about ten pages. We'll see what happens.

I like Otherland better than the Osten Ard stuff, though it's been a while. This post can be improved by acknowledging that the book's title is good.

I will order this after I clean up my dinner dishes. This is me quoting Xray quoting Hereward...and I will order the first book after I clean up my dinner dishes. I am excited about both of these.

The professional baseball club that I have rewarded with my support has signed a contract with Julio Rodriguez in an amount ranging from a 'huge amount of' to 'all the money'. This contract may also outlive me though that is unlikely.

I was in line at the Popeye's drive-thru when my Beyond Burger addiction grabbed me by the throat. Rendered helpless, I had to explain that I didn't actually want anything but it was still nice to chat a bit via the tinny speaker. Also... I am listening to NPR, as I eat my Beyond Burgers, interview Brian May. I can't remember ever hearing May's voice before and he sounds startlingly young*. *The interview is from 2010 so more than a decade ago...still, the guy has a great voice.

I am on the last hundred pages or so of Kay's Children of Earth and Sky.

It will end with him saying he has become death. I would like to see beyond that, though.

Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
