(no subject)
Tim is sick *again*. Hoping I don't catch it. Bonus is that we are going to drive out to see his family next week so we will be in the car ~13 hours...yeah I'm going to get it, aren't I?
He's driving me a little crazy right now because he is sitting behind me playing a game rather than in bed. He took the bedtime cold medicine over an hour again! It's going to be weak by the time he gets in bed. :\
BUT IT IS THE WEEKEND! AND I FINALLY READ ALL OF YOUR ENTRIES!
I feel like I just got my work groove back after all the short holiday weeks at the end of December. And also I was kind of spent at work so I read a lot of LJ/DW entries while drinking my hot chocolate this morning.
And then I treated myself on the way home with this:
I mean, I need something for that 13 hour car ride! I didn't play the original because who the heck owned a Wii U? It's one of the systems I never got (but believe me, I thought about it a lot!). It came out today so I bought it, which I can't even tell you the last time I actually picked up a game on the release date...maybe Mass Effect 3? Or was it Dragon Age Inquisition? Either way, it's been awhile!
I played it for a bit tonight while watching the last hour+ of BlacKKKlansbman. Did anyone else see this? I read the memoir and I was actually impressed by how close the script stayed to the true story. They could have gone overboard and created more scenarios for Ron to go through, but they kept it close, just letting the viewer marvel at how freaking insane all of it was. Though be warned, the last 5 minutes will mess you up. The messed me up. I wasn't ready. I don't want to spoil it but just...but ready.
So that is my first movie of 2019. A whole stack of DVDs showed up for me at the library because I had them all set to unsuspend after January 7th and I was apparently number 1 in line for EVERYTHING LOL. But with Tim sick and the weather being meh, it feels like a good weekend to maybe watch some movies while playing a video game hehe.
OR practicing my guitar! I didn't do all of my goals every day, but I did pretty well. I kept my Duolingo streak, exercised 3 days and practiced the guitar 3 days. I was rocking those first 3 strings today LOL. If you want to hear a really choppy version of "Ode to Joy", I can totally hook you up!! I just want to get the basics down before I try Rocksmith again. For those that don't know, Rocksmith is a video game but you use your actual guitar. But I always felt like I didn't know where my fingers were and I'd get really frustrated. So now I'm using a really basic "teach yourself guitar" book and just trying to learn how to hold it and play the notes without staring at my fingers. Then we can move on to "Pour Some Sugar On Me". :P
Okay, time to crawl into bed with a good book (City of Stairs, thanks for the rec
colls, I'm about 90 pages in and it's got me hooked)
