Sarah Reads City of Dragons: Prologue-Chapter 7

City is one of those words that I absolutely love for the aesthetics. Anyway, not much has happened but I wanted to give this book at least two posts since I slacked so much on the last ones.

(Seriously though, why are these ones so short? Robin Hobb books are supposed to be 700 pages long and in trilogies.)

I just got Netflix!!!

Any suggestions of what to watch first?

One thing, I don't watch is Sitcoms. I have secondary embarrassment issues. I react badly to them.

The Traveling Tale by the Mark Spoils Community (title credit to Szark)

This project the spoils community writes a story one person at a time with the goal of having Mark read it while on tour. (If we can have him agree to be on video, even better)

The rules as follows:
1) Write one to NO LIMIT here in the replies section, it can be whatever you want. You can help the story go, or post something outrageous to mess it up. Just please make sure the transitions are smooth.
2) Please wait a while before adding part to the story, at least one author and 12 hours.
3) Please try not to include any major trigger content or spoilers, espically Mark's Triggers.

that's it, feel free to read the story in whole or just the last sentence when you contribute yours.

I have created a google doc to organize all the content as its being written, the body of the story and the credits at the end to list all of the authors who contributed, even if its only once sentence.

Google document to for the story https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DJCNNwbLGl4vi...
I update the document only once or twice a week, not every time someone writes something

Balthier plays


Trigger Warnings are unknown as I have not played before but according to the rating label its rated T(as in PG-13) for Blood, Drug reference,Language, Sexual Themes and Violence

Next up is Shadow of the Colossus (BLIND)

watch the replies section, I may do a bonus show of a different game will give at least a 30 minute warning.
The game is a secret (its called penfu onaqvpbbg gjb if your worried about spoilers), but it was released in the 90's very little plot, and can be easily followed, even if you know nothing about the game. (like the first three NES Mario games, that kind of easy to follow)

looking for suggestions for future projects, info in repy

CJ's Let's Play Channel is Live!
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjlxTcNOGToas_yF...

The Let's Play videos aren't up yet (I tried to record one last night, but I had some issues with the controller), however there will soon be two video game reviews as well as my intro video up. Keep an eye out if you're interested!

Once again, the first game I'll be playing is Portal 2, which I have in fact played before. Any feedback to help me improve as I go along is much appreciated.

CJ Also Shares Her AMVs

I know I've shared them a couple of times after I made them, but I suppose there's never a bad time for shameless self-promotion. *shrug*

Yeah, I really like to make AMVs. So far I've made them for the Final Fantasy series (7-13), Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, The Legend of Korra, Game of Thrones, and Princess Tutu. I'll post the ones that I think are my personal best in the replies.

Fajen listens to Night Vale


image by CosmoWilton

I verbed Night Vale on this site a while ago. I had a lot of fun with it, but then I got caught up and the two-week waiting period was too much for me. But now I have tickets to the St. Louis event on May 5th and realized I really should catch up. The last episode I heard was 37 - Gur Nhpgvba.

Hello, Mark Spoils!

This week's blog post is more of a personal reflection than an academic analysis, but you might enjoy it anyway. Just my thoughts on Disney's Snow White, how she affected me as a kid, and what we can take from her story. https://kateorgera.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/a-let...
A while ago, I bought a small apartment. I've been furnishing it, but I think I could also use some neat accessories to make it look better. I'm thinking specifically of geeky models, figurines and art prints.

What would you recommend?

Currently, I have an old figurine of Asuka from Evangelion and a poster of the webcomic Ava's Demon hanging on my wall.

Maybe I'm just on the Star Trek wavelength right now, but my current favorite idea is getting a model of either an Enterprise D or a Romulan D'deridex. (Babylon 5 probably doesn't have too much on offer, or I'd go for a Shadow Battlecrab.) There's a whole bunch of comic book covers I'd like to have on my wall, but those don't seem to be particularly easy to find either.

I don't really know too much about these things, so if you know any neat websites for models or comic book art prints or such, and that do international shipping, I'd love to hear about them.
