February
It is February, and we have snow. Again. Joy.
Life continues much as usual. Days are filled with toddler-raising, Gothic Literature (as soon I'll be making my contribution to the Corvey Project), Latin poetry (yay, the Pharsalia!), and, among other things, Dragon Age.
Of which, I might add, I eagerly await the release of the sequel on March 8th--though, of course, I pre-ordered my copy of the Signature Edition weeks ago. The demo has already gone live, however, and so far, I'm liking what I'm seeing. Rogues (my favorite class in the game by far, mostly because not being able to get into locked stuff drives me batty) don't so much backstab people as jump behind 'em and slice their heads off in one stroke. It's pretty sweet. ^_^ I also look forward to seeing some old familiar faces in the game, including everyone's favoritest apostate ever Anders (who, apparently, is actually a two-fer reunion because he's been possessed by Justice. Who is now Vengeance. ...yeah. I don't quite know what to make of that just yet.).
Aaaaaand, Bioware promises that if a million downloads of the demo across all platforms take place before March 1, they will unlock two artifacts for all the players. So, yes. Demo. Get yours here. Make some gamers happy, and spend a few minutes killing darkspawn, and also a bunch of bandits alongside one lovely pirate queen.
