This month saw the return to the routine. To our country, Switzerland.
Parenting is damn hard… Even if I enjoyed some days completely by myself, it is upmost foolery to try and squeeze the most out of it. I enjoyed it. I relaxed. But my mind was elsewhere.
I went to two Magic events at my LGS. In one of them I went 0-0-3 lol. Still had overall a good time!
Played/Read/Watched
The Fly [Film] - Goldblum at its best. Good film if you like some horror (body horror!). And it’s aged gracefully.
The Once and Future King by T.H. White [Book] - it is a classic for a reason. A reinterpretation of Arthurian Myth (which admittedly has been told and retold many many times). But a clever one at that. The first third of this 660 page tome is great. Merlin is a hoot, and sadly only present on that portion of the book (the rest of the book suffers for it). It is like a training camp on steroids for Wart (young Arthur). The rest of the tome deals with a romance (between Lancelot and Guenever) which frankly I didn’t care about. Many crucial and interesting events are told, not shown (battles and wars, the quest for the Grail, the war against Mordred, etc.).
