Week 2 Reading Overview

 I'll be reading the version Tiny Tales from the Ramayana since being an entirely new idea for this semester seems interesting and having bite-sized stories allows me to get a taste of every tale and figure out which ones would pull me in deeper to read more on my own. The Lord of Lanka: The Rise and Fall of a Demon King and Vishvamitra: The King Who Became an Ascetic are the comics that pique my interest the most, with a chronicle of a fallen demon king having a cool title by nature, and the rise of a king to a spiritual leader also seems heavily interesting. Ancient Technology - Atlantis and India and Rama and the Ramayana: Crash Course World Mythology #27 seem cool because I'm wondering what they'll cover about Atlantis, and Crash Course is just always an enjoyable watch. I added this image of Hayagriva and Brahma because I'm curious what's going on in the photo since it seems like one is blessing the other with an object of some sort.

I'm usually smart about my money but the class was super informative on little things I'd need to know down the road like loans and credit cards. Besides class, I spent a lot of time catching up on shows in my free time since there's not much else to do when you're quarantined at home. One of my favorite franchises is the Star Wars universe, and watching season 2 of the Mandalorian was a blast. I'm not the biggest fan of the recent Disney trilogy, but the extended universe definitely makes up for all its shortcomings. Last semester

Week 14 Story: The Guilty Guards

Night City is a place where anyone who needs anything can get it anywhere at anytime. That is, if they have the right resources. Every day, guns are hired to get jobs done, whether it be simple hit jobs, complex robberies, or just sending messages to the competition in the area. But in this line of work, this means high risk high reward jobs that stray from the norm pay the most. In doing so, this requires high stress relief. But where can mercenaries all go after hours to relax and kickback, enjoying a drink or two before their next gig? Cue the Afterlife. Known as one of the most prestigious clubs in Night City, one could only gain access by having a reputation behind their name, as the club only served to the hottest mercs in the city. For a club to be so exclusive, the service provided was a cut above the norm, with the alcohol following suit. Many rare and discontinued liquors could be found at the Afterlife.  When the club died down during business hours, staff would take this ti
