It's been awhile, but I've mostly been trying to handle things myself and talking with my Dad about baseball playoffs. I had initially predicted the World Series to be Astros over Brewers, which shows my accuracy at prophecy, as both were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round. I also initially believed the Phillies would beat the Mets because the Phillies did better in their series against the Mariners than the Mets did, but at the end of the third game, with the Phillies' only win being a walk-off, it was clear the Mets were in charge of the series and were going to win it. I was rooting for the Royals, like a lot of the baseball world, so I'm disappointed that the Yankees beat them. I'm hoping the Tigers win against the Guardians, mostly because they got into the playoff picture in the last 3 weeks of the season, coming out of nowhere, then dethroning the Astros. I'm more tied with the Padres and Dodgers, mostly because I like both Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts AND Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez. I also couldn't tell you who would win it based on skill, they seem evenly matched.
Outside of that, I saw Judas Priest with opening act Sabaton a couple of days ago on Wednesday, I'm hoping to see Halestorm and Evanescence on Tuesday, and aside from that, I'm buying a comic book that Tara Platt and Yuri Lowenthal wrote called "Topsy McGee and the Scarab of Solomon" and a video game called "Date Everything." Topsy McGee is a steampunk heroine Tara and Yuri created for fun that they made a short silent movie about which also had John deLancie and Tailesin Jaffe in it. Topsy is based on Tara as a steampunk adventurer and is married to Captain Sean McGee, who is played by Yuri but I'm not sure how similar they are, character-wise. It's called the "Scarab of Solomon," but since they're not Christians, I don't think it'll be related to the Biblical King of Wisdom. Then again, I don't know what King Solomon's Mines have to do with him, either. I do know it's going to be like Indiana Jones and The Rocketeer, probably, and will likely be fun since they do make great stories.
"Date Everything" is a game made by voice actors Robbie Daymond and Ray Chase. It involves you getting a job in a house, getting magical glasses and then, everything in the house becomes a human or human-like person who wants to date you and you do to advance the "plot." Known cast includes the two who made it (Robbie Daymond plays "Hank the Hangers"), Abby Trott as "Shelley Shelf," and Cherami Leigh as a chair as a pun on her name. I'm looking forward to this since my favorite parts of Fire Emblem; Three Houses were sitting down and making characters I like happy through conversation. I'm hopeful that I can do this here.
A great song I heard recently is "Still Here" by former Power Rangers actress Amy Jo Johnson. She has dealt with the deaths of her parents and the suicide of a castmate who played her love interest. This song reminds her and us to keep going though the road may be hard.
