    My latest review just went live. Covered Maris Lawyer's The Blue Line Down. "The Blue Line Down parallels Jude’s lean and mean physique and character — unafraid to get coal-mine dirty, nimbly moving from one order of business to the next."

    #151: Stormy Weather (, 1995) Characterization:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Writing Style:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thematic Potency:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pacing:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Verdict:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Stormy Weather should've come with its own warning system. Particularly one that stated the odds of one's sides getting split.

    Prey, like Skyrim, was a game I not only enjoyed as a gamer, but also had fun working on as a developer. Still proud of my time spent on this one, and happy to see Mooncrash's time-loop mechanic live on in Deathloop. All in all, a crowning achievement for .

    I like the shotgun pellet analogy, for it reminds one that they should send out applications more like sniper rifle rounds, i.e. take the time to adjust one’s shot (i.e. polish and personalize the application) and take a deep breath (i.e. double-check the info) ‘fore firing away.

    It's important to show that you know what the company is, what they do, what they make, because sending out applications like they're shotgun pellets is a great way to turn people off to you. Take five minutes and personalize the application. 11/x

    Also worth mentioning that the Hulu adaptation of the book is well worth experiencing as well, if only to see Yossarian get drawn into Milo's mercantile schemes and escapades.

    Ending August with another book review for the . Took a look at M.O. Walsh's The Big Door Prize and its take on the human predilection to revamp one's destiny at all costs (including $2). A novel with lots of warmth, weather- and tone-wise.

    If you live in Québec and you want schools to stay open, it's not too late to sign this petition asking for masks in class ✏️✒️ English petition: French petition:

    With Delta here, everyone wearing masks indoors is the only chance schools can open and stay open along with ventilation and filtration to clean indoor air. And even then, it is a huge challenge. Blocking masks in schools essentially shuts down in person schooling.
