Slowly the weather is warming up, and I’ve had a nice and pretty productive week after easter, it has been nice being able to ditch the big jacket, and stuff just has been pretty nice this week, hopefully it will keep on going that way.

Books

Finally got into the swing of reading again, started out with reading, first I finished off Doubleblind by Ann Aguirre, which was a fun book, really enjoyable and fun to read. Quite a lot of politics and a bit of action and the end.

Looking through my stuff I found a book that I didn’t remember why I had gotten, it’s a compilation book of the 4 first books in the Black ocean series by J.S. Morin and I started reading it, turns out I got it because Beko Pharm had reccommended it to me. The first book is Salvage Trouble and I had a blast reading through it, fun characters, written with humour, and there are space wizards, just a lot of fun, and written in a way that makes it enjoyable.

After that one I started another series, with Accellerating Universe by Nicola Claire a part of a bigger sector series mushroom, which from what I understand is Sector Fleet, the series that I’ve started on, Sector Wars, and Sector Files. This was a fun having to leave earth kind of story, and kind of in a way dystopian, with a huge evacuation ship leaving, it was fun and a compelling read, so looking foreward to the next one.

And lastly I started the second book in Black Ocean with Smuggler’s concience Which has been fun for the part that I’ve read so far, they are quite short, so they go really quick to read, but they are so much fun that I don’t really mind, and why would that matter anyway, I’m not here to just flaunt the amount of pages read.

Games

For games I haven’t really been that much up on that this week, mostly I’ve been playing some iconoclasts which is a fun puzzle exploration platforming game. I’m still kind of in a platformer mood, while I kind of am moving over to turn based RPG stuff again I think, at least that’s something that is on my mind the last days.

It’s been a while since I’ve been so into a game that I just want to finish it off now, but that’s just how things are, we’ll have to see where it goes, I wasn’t really much in a gaming mood over the weekend either, and just played a bit of some incremental games, but nothing that I really would call gaming, maybe next week will be a bit more exciting.

Media

I’ve started to listen to some of the test podcasts that I downloaded last week, and the Red Menace podcast has been quite a bit of fun to listen to, it’s a radical left podcast which discusses political stuff, and so far it has been fun, it’s just a bit annoying that it’s really hard to find the kind of stuff that I like in norwegian, while so often things that are in english are focused on the US, but well, I mean can’t have everything either.

Another podcast that I’ve listened to is another leftie one, Reaction pod where they are talking about alt-right figures, this one by a serb, a Norwegian and an American, so far it’s been pretty fun, and at least the humour is a bit more of something that I’m used to from over here, and so far it’s been fun.

I know that Stay Forever will have a podcast about Final Fantasy V this month, and it’s one that I’m really look foreward to listening to.
