I believe the illustrations are actually by noted aliebn Jonny Sun. Or so I have read.

Surprisingly well, the dialogue isn’t the coolest but the world/missions/gameplay are still fun

Nothing better than replaying Sly 2: Band of Thieves whenever I need to relax (usually in the midst of finals)

Also out on October 7: Lewis Del Mar's eponymous debut album! They're a great alt rock-y band, check em out on James Corden's show a month or two ago, they're cool (even NPR says so)

In August I was mostly prepping for my master's program, for which I read the following:
Behind The Beautiful Forevers - a modern classic that should be required reading
Poor Economics - A little more technical, but should be required reading for all international development workers or anyone who wants to know what…

Subway's Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki sandwich on honey oat bread - there's nothing better.

Yo what about Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown - also out Sept 30.

In July I read Brisingr, the third book in the Inheritance Cycle (aka the Eragon series). I remember thinking the second one was really boring when I read it back in middle school, but I really enjoyed this one. Paolini has really built an interesting world with cool characters, and he strikes a good balance between…

In June I read The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz. It's been a while since I read the last book, so I'm not entirely sure how this addendum stacks up to the original trilogy, but to me there was way too much talking and too little action. Also, most of the "twists" were telegraphed hundreds of pages in…

Damn I miss Fringe.

For me, The Office (US version) ends when Michael leaves Dunder Mifflin. The perfect series finale

In February I read Triss, the 15th Redwall book, the first time I'd read a book in that series in probably 10 years. It definitely didn't live up to the first 5 or so books in the series, which I reread over and over again as a kid, but something about the wholesome world Jacques creates just feels so nice to be…

In March I actually read a book for adults - Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion. I actually enjoyed her personal essays on the different places she'd lived and on themes like self-confidence more than the selections from her writings on California in the 1960s, which she seems to be most famous for. Anyway,…

This month I read An Island Out of Time, about Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay, that was pretty good as a look into a unique and endangered culture in my backyard but also suffered from the author's dramatic tendencies and dragged in places. I also just finished Loamhedge, the 16th Redwall book, because I bought it…
