I have been so busy recently, I’ve kind of forgotten to get my geek on for a while.
Well, today I caught up.
Let me tell you what I’ve been up to.
First, I played X-COM on my iPad. My ex used to have this game on his computer, and I’d spend hours watching him go on missions, but playing it myself… Boy, it really ramps up my blood pressure.
I had another ten minutes, so I slotted in a round of Stone Age, also on my tablet. Of course the setting was on easy. I wanted to win, after all.
Once I made it out of bed, I engaged in a four-episode veg out in front of the TV. Supernatural, Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl. Here an admission. I’m not really into Supergirl. And although I like The Flash, its characters make the silliest decisions. They vex me, and I hate being vexed. That said, Supernatural was a revelation. I love that show!
Anyway, I checked out Patrick Rothfuss’s blog and placed a couple of bids on this charity auction (for Worldbuilders), then I caught up on my reading. Ilona Andrews’ Sweep In Peace certainly kept me entertained. Her offerings (or rather their offerings, since they’re actually two people) usually do the job. Andrews’ books are never high on my list of favorites, but perhaps I’m doing her (them) an injustice. So to make up for my oversight, let me say this: buy it. It’s really, really fun.
I also reread some of my favorite comics, Lazarus and Hawkeye, while waiting for my food to cook. It’s evening now, and my geek-out is nearing its end.
I enjoyed hanging out, just me and my favorite characters. Why don’t you take a day and spend it how you want? The festive season is about to begin, and no matter how much you may enjoy this time, relaxation will not be part of the experience.
That’s it from me, my lovelies. Have a wonderful and happy geekend of your own.
