I love music, story-driven games, hot sauce and reading.

I am also a long-suffering Mets, Knicks, and Giants fan, so I tend to enjoy finding strong and tasty beer and bourbon. I'll pass on the sours, though.

Four chapters into The Picture of Dorian Gray, i have to say I never want to get in a conversation with someone like Lord Henry. That dude is exhausting and as full of himself as one can be.

I finished reading James tonight, and I have to say I haven't read anything as good as this in years. This book adds such amazing depth to the world of Huck Finn, and I don't think I truly expected the book to end the way it did.

5 stars, everyone should this masterpiece.

Finished Rhythm of War today, and the ending didn't disappoint. There was a curveball i didn't see coming and I'm looking forward to seeing where it leads.

Taking a break from the #cosmere to read James by Percival Everett before getting into Wind and Truth. Just 30 pages in, I'm already all in.

I just finished Part Four of Rhythm of War, and I could really feel/visualize the end of Adolin's trial. I haven't been digging his character too much throughout the series, but that was INTENSE. I really want to see that scene on screen somehow/someway.

I'm about 800 pages into Rhythm of War, and I have to say that Dabbid is turning into an absolutely awesome character. Kaladin has some amazing allies.

As I get older, I find there's nothing more relaxing than popping on some music, sipping a bourbon and diet, and reading a good book to get the weekend started.

I am playing the MSQ in FF14 for the first time, and I just had my first fight with Nidhogg. As I fought, I couldn't help but be reminded of the Gwyn, Lord of Cinder theme and the juxtaposition between such a powerful foe and a tragic theme.

I read Warbreaker after finishing Oathbringer, and I am noticing/remembering connections between it and things that happen in The Stormlight Archives as I work through The Rhythm of War. I think I'll have to re-read the books at some point to see what I missed the first time.

One of the Discord servers I belong to has fun music leagues that last a month or so. I've never seen these before, and it's an entertaining exercise trying to find a song that fits the theme for that round while still fitting my own tastes.
