rosa_heartlilyI've been plotting out my talk on Chapter 1 of the Book of Ruth next Sunday. There's a really nice summary of the full story on YouTube, that also shows how it is an amazing piece of literature. There are lots of commentaries available online. It's the first book I ever spoke about at St Bride's some 20+ years ago. I love it because it's short and easy to understand. It has layers of meaning - love, loyalty, providence, compassion. It's named after a gentile woman who knew what she wanted and went after it. Two of the three main characters are women. I'm looking forward to digging in to it again.
I reached the final boss in BG&ER and died repeatedly. I looked it up on YouTube and it looks like there's a knack to it but I really think I want to go into it better prepared with items - which means starting from the beginning. I'm not in the mood to replay it right away but it will always be there. Just like FFX... *ahem* I'm going to replay Unpacking as a palate-cleanser, then give Infamous: Second Son a go. And maybe come back to BG&ER after that. I have beaten it in the past, so it's not as if there are any surprises; I might even do the treasure hunt thing that's been added to the Remaster.
I also watched the next couple of episodes of Becoming Elizabeth. Seymour was a creep and Elizabeth was young and trusting. And headstrong. I still love her.
And some more of Psych. Things are coming together!
The final series of Umbrella Academy has arrived but I want to watch the whole thing from the beginning - 36 episodes. It'll be interesting to go back to the start and trace the characters' development.
Now for an early-ish night.
