私はラッキーですよ。私の彼女はアッシュリーベアです。彼女はジャーナリストと中学の先生として社員だったけど今マーケティングの経営学修士があります。でも彼女の写真はきれいだと思って、彼女がもっと撮影くれたいです!それに私は詩を書くのが好きだけど詩を書く時間がありません。とにかく、先日、彼女が私に「新しいプロジェクトを一緒にやりたいの?」と言いました。そして「詩撮影」というプロジェクトは生まれました! 私が詩を書いて彼女は私の詩に似合う写真を取ります。そしたら彼女が新しい写真を取って私は彼女の写真に似合う詩を書きます。いいんでしょう? 私は今晩に初めての詩をポストします。今朝にもう書きました。楽しみですね!

Can say Doom: The Dark Ages is a great game now I'm done, but my least favorite of the modern trilogy. Feels slick but the more repetitive nature of the parry-heavy combat simply can't be as compelling as Eternal or 2016. Subpar music, amazing setpieces, you can use 1 gun the whole time if you want.

I keep going up and down on Doom: The Dark Ages. The Cosmic Realm maps are stellar. I'm hoping to finish my initial run tonight. Seems to start strong after a slowish ramp-up, slump a bit in the middle, then rev up approaching the end. Fingers crossed it sticks the landing!

Sure wish someone would stop them and accuse them accurately of all the war crimes they've been committing.

Once again I'm driving home from doing things for #horrorwatch, and I was hoping to finally watch The Descent. Bleh! Hope it's a good one, y'all.
