Weekly Update 30
Weekly Update 30
Well shucks, I guess I’m a man of many excuses. Or at least, many instances to give excuses.
This excuse is actually very happy! I quit my job at UPS last Friday and this Monday was the first Monday in years where I had just a normal day in the summer season without anything to do. I spent it playing video games and watching Castle. It was relaxing and, may I say, earned.
First, I should tell you that no, I have had no hits on my queries. I realized last Tuesday after I published last week’s update; I didn’t mention it at all. Isn’t that odd? I started this blog to show agents how determined I was to get representation. I guess it shows how long it has been since any news, any “nos.” I guess I had become complacent with the silence. That is… alarming.
In other news, I finally beat Mortal Kombat X! In preparation for MK1, I decided to replay the game I never finished just to be caught up on the story. I got MKX and MK11 extremely cheap, I’m talking five dollars for the market price of twenty. I was pleased with the story of X but I thought it was just… meh. Maybe because I am excited about MK1, which reboots the entire franchise, I found it only sets up MK11 which, again, becomes a little moot. The game was fun, and so far MK11 is even more fun.
Also, I found a new game I love! I had some free time today after I went to a quick lunch with other teachers so I went to my LGS (Local Game Store) and I got a hankering to play a single-player board game. Single-player board games are very fun, but the ones I wanted ranged from $195 to $200, and I am not as liquid as I once was. I instead found a game by Ravensburger (a company I have been very interested in as of late) called “Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo.” It is a 1-5 player board game that, in my humble opinion, is so so so much fun! I just played my first game and I found the rules to be super easy and fun. The setting is just like the movie and they capture the beats of it almost scarily well. I can’t wait to play again, and I hope I get to play with friends in the future.
Ok, time to do some adulting in preparation for my new job. Hopefully next week I will see you all here on Monday. Until then, keep your eyes open for me. Maybe you will see my agent before I do.
