Kill The Farm Boy (The Tales Of Pell Book #1)

What Is It?

The audiobook Kill The Farm Boy (The Tales Of Pell, Book #1) by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne, and narrated by Luke Daniels.

This is how Goodreads describes this audiobook:

In an irreverent new series in the tradition of Monty Python, the bestselling authors of the Iron Druid Chronicles and Star Wars: Phasma reinvent fantasy, fairy tales, and floridly written feast scenes.

“Ranks among the best of Christopher Moore and Terry Pratchett.”

—Chuck Wendig

“When you put two authors of this high caliber together, expect fireworks. Or at least laughs. What a hoot!”.

—New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks

Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, a hero, the Chosen One, was born . . . and so begins every fairy tale ever told.

This is not that fairy tale.

There is a Chosen One, but he is unlike any One who has ever been Chosened.

And there is a faraway kingdom, but you have never been to a magical world quite like the land of Pell.

There, a plucky farm boy will find more than he’s bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower.

First, there’s the Dark Lord, who wishes for the boy’s untimely death . . . and also very fine cheese.

Then there’s a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini.

This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, the Dread Necromancer Steve, and a strange and wondrous journey to the most peculiar “happily ever after” that ever once-upon-a-timed.

Praise for Kill the Farm Boy

“The hilarious parody novel by New York Times best-selling authors Delilah Dawson and Kevin Hearne is one of the brightest reading selections of the summer, and its deliriously fun tone and satirical embrace will have you laughing out loud until strangers begin to look at you oddly.”

— SyFy

“Silly fun.”—Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
“[Delilah Dawson and Kevin Hearne] wanted to make fun of the typical ‘white male power fantasies,’ and in that, they succeed, with their heroes all characters of color and/or falling somewhere under the LGBTQ umbrella.”

— Publishers Weekly

“A rollicking fantasy adventure that upends numerous genre tropes in audacious style, the first installment of Dawson and Hearne’s Tales of Pell series is a laugh-out-loud-funny fusion of Monty Python–esque humor and whimsy à la Terry Pratchett’s Discworld.”

— Kirkus Reviews

A Super Heavyweight Boxer Versus A Heavyweight Boxer

I had more dreams that I remembered but that I failed to record, so I forgot those dreams.

My last dream involved a boxing match between a super heavyweight male boxer versus maybe a heavyweight male boxer, and there was a male referee refereeing the match.

I was there at the fight, which was just a boxing ring in a room, without an audience, and I was at ringside.

Killing Eve (Season 1)

What Is It?

The 2018 British spy thriller TV show Killing Eve (Season 1).

KILLING EVE Official Trailer (HD) Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer Thriller BBC Series
Killing Eve Season 1 Promo | ‘Issues’ | Rotten Tomatoes TV

This is how Wikipedia describes this TV show:

Killing Eve is a British spy thriller television series, produced in the United Kingdom by Sid Gentle Films for BBC America and BBC Three.

The series follows Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), a British intelligence investigator tasked with capturing psychopathic assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer).

As the chase progresses, the two develop a mutual obsession.

Based on the Villanelle novel series by Luke Jennings, each of the show’s series is led by a different female head writer.

The first series had Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the head writer, the second series Emerald Fennell, the third series Suzanne Heathcote, and the fourth series Laura Neal.

The first series premiered on BBC America on 8 April 2018, and on BBC iPlayer on 15 September 2018 through BBC Three.

In the first series, Eve is bored with her protection role in MI5 and, after brashly investigating the behind-the-scenes of a witness she is handling, she is fired.

However, her passion for female assassins later leads to her joining an undercover division within MI6 whose task is to pursue and locate Villanelle, a ruthless international assassin who works for a secret organization called The Twelve.

When Eve and Villanelle cross paths, they begin a cycle of obsession which leads them away from their individual missions and closer to each other.

Setting Up Staff Computers

All that I can remember of this dream is that I was setting up the new staff computers at work at the library as other things were going on in the background.

I had to set up Microsoft Windows, probably Windows 11, on each computer, do some customizing, adjust some settings, and update Windows & some drivers & some firmware et cetera.

I got to the last two new staff computers.
