Office Blog From The Boss Hog - Alejandro
🕑 Added 2022-08-02 18:50:16 +0000 UTCWhat up Patreon Pals, it's ya boy Alejandro the Assistant Editor and I'm here with my regularly scheduled Office Blog.
This is a picture of my dog Zag. I had to leave him with my parents whenever I moved out here to LA and every day without him breaks my heart. He's the sweetest most goodest boy ever and there is no comparison. I have a polaroid of him in my wallet and whenever I want to cry for fun I just look at it.
Anyways! About a year ago I got back into reading books which I hadn't even remotely thought about doing since early High School. It all started when my buddy Garrett convinced me to try The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (finished by Brandon Sanderson after RJ's death) and I got HOOKED. Let it be known that every book in the series is THICK (about 900 pages per book). And In August of last year I started the 15 book series and it took me until June of this year to read/listen to all 12,000 pages/19 days, 5 hours, and 25 minutes of the entire thing. I took a break from reading for a month to catch up on Podcasts and stuff but two weeks ago I started Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series and I'm loving that even more than WoT. I'll be done with Book 1 within the next week. Needless to say, reading has become a huge passion of mine.
I don't really have much else to talk about so sorry if this blog wasn't particularly quirky like my last two but also, if I gave out my hilarious personality all the time you people wouldn't appreciate me like the world SHOULD.
Here is a picture I took of my drive home from work one day. I truly am loving how beautiful and awesome this city is. I may be poor but the experience is priceless.
I almost posted this picture without blurring the license plate and that would've been naughty. Alright I'm getting out of here because I got stuff I gotta do!
Bye Patreoners! We constantly look at the numbers and your comments and get really excited whenever it goes up even a little bit so thank you!

I hope the 2nd season is more enjoyable for you, as well! With one season under their belt, I'm hoping the show just gets better from here on out.

I will be honest in saying I was very not pleased with how the show turned out. It did have amazingly cool moments (THAT moment with Nynaeve, the cold open with Rand's mom, etc.) that I couldn't help but love. But overall I did not like the liberties they took with the plot and I really hope the second season is a lot more enjoyable for me. - Alejandro
"...whenever I want to cry for fun..." made me laugh out loud because of the contradictory ridiculousness of that phrase, and then immediately sigh in sadness because of the relatability of the sentiment. I miss my chinchilla, Fatty.

Oh, and have you (or anyone else in this thread) seen The Wheel of Time TV show? I enjoyed it overall and LOVE the show opener (that theme music)! It has its rocky moments, but I am excited to see where it goes in Season 2.
Matthew Macomber
Hurray for another Wheel of Time enjoyer! I'm excited for you to read more of The Stormlight Archive. By the time you catch-up, the next book should almost be out late next year!

Strap in! It's definitely a long and wild ride that I LOVED to be on all the way to the end. - Alejandro

Zag looks like a true friend. I hope one day you can drive him out to where you are to live with you, Alejandro. Looks like a truly amazing pal, and I hope you get time during the year to visit him.

Brandonson Sanderson is one of my favourite authors and he writes like a maniac too so there's always more about to pop out
