The Professional Gamer - February 21, 2020

Hi folks and welcome back! I managed to spend a bit more of my time this week doing things that I enjoy, rather than chores. On the other hand, I’ve tended to horde new episodes of anime and not watch them. I just want to binge through stuff later, and I can’t do that when there is only one episode coming out each week. It just too hard to wait. But, I have been playing some Warcraft as well, and that lends itself to being talked about . Let’s get started!

I’ll start off with a short celebration that I was able to finish Quiet before it was due back to the library. I managed to get a book finished, praise be! Next, I’m splitting time between reading Multipliers (required for a course I’m taking at work) and The Bullet Journal Method. Back when BuJo first started to become a thing, I started reading a little about it on Ryder Carroll’s blog, but I didn’t get super into it. I tried it for awhile, but I think the lack of clarity in some of the blog discussions (or maybe just the fact that I didn’t read enough posts) I couldn’t find the appeal. I’m going to try again, with some actually reading before I dive in fully. I’ve started keeping a daily “to do” list in a quasi-BuJo style, but am definitely not using the whole method to actually query and think about things. That will have to come in the future after I understand the deep mysteries of the method. I don’t think I can recommend Multipliers as much. If nothing else, the writing style gets to me: it is too heavy handed on the “repeat everything three times” method of teaching.

My anime this week has been limited to an episode of My Hero in which the remedial class was challenged to babysit. I’m skeptical of this current arc. But, we’ll see how it goes. I feel like I still love the overall storyarc that I foresee Deku going through, but I’m not sure how much I’m going to like some of the side stories.

In Warcraft, I hit level 120 a few weeks ago. My next goal is to finish enough quests to get the flying skill unlocked. After that, I’m going to work on my professions, especially fishing and cooking. I hope that can get through these goals relatively quickly.

And that’s all I’ve got. I’m on travel next week, so my next article may be more brief. Have a great week and game on!
