Ah, it's March! I love March! Lots of good things about March - Spring starts (theoretically anyway), I have a birthday (I was an equinox baby born in a snowstorm), my first official day of work is the 30th (I get Sunday and Monday off at this time of year, so it won't actually be until April 1st), and the Iditarod is happening. It's also Bandit's seventh Adoption Day anniversary today. We're going to go buy a new dog bone later to celebrate. And the other really good thing about March? It's not February!!!
Playing: I'm done with Xillia for now. I'll run through Milla's story at some point, but down the road at some point. I did pick Graces back up and realized I had in fact gotten past the horrible floor puzzle. I finished the main story yesterday (even though I can't really remember what the heck was going on, or the finer points of the battle system). I'm doing the extra bits at the end now while waiting for Symphonia to arrive.
Reading: Just finished Serenity Leaves On the Wind #2 that Jason brought over for me with my coffee this morning. in a little bit, I'm going to go looking through my books for a book of short stories called The Merry Widow Foxtrot and reread that. One of my favorite professors from college wrote it and he passed away last Thursday. Professor Mortland had a huge impact on my writing and my education. I only took one class from him, but he inspired me to be better academically than I might otherwise have been.
Watching: I've gone back to Supernatural, a series I liked, but lost track of early in the second season. It's one of those shows I can't watch more than a couple of episodes of at a time and it looks like it was shot through an ultra-drab filter. There's very little color in the show and that bothers me for some reason that I can't quite put my finger on. But I like it, don't get me wrong. I'm also watching Kyle XY. Don't judge - after watching five seasons of Waking the Dead, I needed something not as heavy and grim to watch. It's amusing and holding my interest so far, but I've only watched a few episodes.
Listening: I've been stuck in the eighties lately. Huey Lewis and the News are what's in the CD player at the moment. There's also been some Hooters and some Bryan Adams. I haven't listened to much folk lately other than at Tom Hall's memorial service on Saturday, and the place was so crowded that I was way in the back because I got there late and I couldn't hear much at all. Someone did do a really great version of The Parting Glass, someone else sang How Can I Keep From Singing?, and the other one I could actually hear was The Seaman's Hymn, which we started ending all our shanty sessions with a few years ago. That one, the room went silent and everyone front to back joined in. I have no idea who is in this video I found on YouTube, bt it's a pretty good recording of the song. Now imagine 100 people singing it at once in a bar and you get the picture.
Have a good Monday, people. I'm going to go see what Asbel and crew are up against next.
I almost forgot we have a birthday this month, and only two days apart! Happy Adoption Day to Bandit! And damn straight Spring only starts "theoretically," it's 23 degrees here in Nac! It was nice Spring weather not two days ago! Sometimes I don't like the fact Texas doesn't actually have seasons and just changes its weather mood as it pleases. Blech. I don't mind though, I felt fine in the rain yesterday and who knows? Maybe that 20% chance of precipitation will come through today and leave some slick roads to keep me out of my office tomorrow. I can dream. Is the Itidarod streamed online? I know you follow it somehow, but I forget exactly. Might be interesting to expand my sports horizons.
