Do I want to know what you mean by an attack on Christmas?
I'm seeing the new Bond film tomorrow. Looking forward to it, though I'm not expecting it to be near as good as Skyfall was.
Tuesday, and it's my weekend

Good morning, Pixlbit Nation! How is everyone this Tueday? I'm spending a lazy morning drinking coffee and laughing about what some people are getting offended over on the internet. Red coffee cups are apparently an attack on Christmas. Seriously, some people have way too much time on their hands. Me, there are never enough hours in the day for everything I want to do.
Playing: I grabbed Costume Quest 2 while it was on sale last week. I've been having fun roaming around exploring every nook and cranny and I'm nearing the end of the game. I don't like the button press timing on the attacks, but it's not really affecting the outcome of the battles too much. Other than that, it's another fun little offering from Doublefine. I have to thank NSonic79 for reminding me of its existence.
Also downloaded one of the Star Wars packs for Pinball FX2. Been having fun with those, too.
Still playing Zestiria. Hoping to get in an all-day session in the next day or two.
Animal Crossing...I'm starting to lose interest in having to drop in daily. When things start to feel like a chore, it's time to take a break. I'll be sorry to lose all my pretty flowers, but oh, well.
Reading: Finished Not For Glory a few days ago and started on Hero, by the same author. It's a prequel and not a sequel. I have to say that none of Joel Rosenberg's other books are as good as Not For Glory. His Guardians of the Flame series lost my interest well before the end of the first book. Hero isn't bad, it's just not as good.
Listening: Mostly the crap they pipe into the store while I'm at work. We have no control over the content and you never know what era is going to be playing when. I don't mind the 80s stuff, it's the earlier stuff that gets on my nerves. Hopefully they won't move on to crappy Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.
Watching: Caught all the way up on Agents of SHIELD. That show just keeps getting better and better. Watched The Mummy Returns and tried watching the third movie in the collection last night (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor), but it was so bad we shut it off after half an hour or so and watched wildlife documentaries on Netflix instead.
Other stuff: I have a mouse in the cottage, and no, it's not a new pet. Little bastard has been chewing into my food in the cupboards. Had to throw a bunch of food out because it chewed through the bags and food got stale or it chewed into boxes, had a snack and then pooped on what was left. The most interesting sampling took place in a box that contains small envelopes of cayenne pepper. It either got a big shock, or I'm dealing with a relative of Speedy Gonzalez. There was also a trail of mouse turds going across the floor from the cupboard to Bandit's food dish, where mousie sampled the dog food that Bandit spills on the floor when he eats. Kaylee has done nothing to curb the mouse's raiding, and I am now firmly convinced she is receiving bribes to look the other way. I refuse to use poison to combat the rodents here, it gets into the food chain and kills a lot of birds of prey and small mammal predators like foxes, so I need to use a trap. As I have no desire for dead rodents in the food cupboard, I bought a live trap off Amazon and am impatiently waiting for it to arrive. I'm going to take Mousie on a lovely long drive and dump his little ass out in the campground at my old park. The owls will hopefully grab it, and if not them, the fox that lives behind the equipment shed may get lucky.
Today is Jason's and my only day off together, and we're planning to go see the new 007 movie. I am excited.
Have an awesome week, people!
