I’ve been trying to learn Japanese, although I have slacked off on my software lessons over the past month or so. I am in a Monday morning Bible study at the ungodly (ha ha) hour of 6:30 am. However, I am pleased that Daylight Savings Time has kicked in, which will make the mornings even worse, but the wonderful sunlight in the evenings will more than make up for it. I have a TiVo with a possibly corrupted hard drive, which means that we may lose all of our recorded programs when we replace the drive, unless we pay an extra $79 to have someone transfer the shows over for us. I still haven’t gotten the last of my tax information in, but when I do, I can expect a nice fat federal refund, and an IOU from the state. I took my third voice-acting class, Bringing Characters to Life, and it was alternately fun and challenging. Inspired by the death of Gary Gygax (a year ago now!), the release of the fourth edition of Dungeons and Dragons, the Penny Arcade podcasts where they play through the aforementioned game, and the nascent interest of my son and daughter in the role-playing experience, I have decided to start playing…another role-playing game, GURPS, which requires a lot of work on my part to convert D&D modules (yes, I am enjoying it; no, you don’t want to know the details). I have just started watching the new Battlestar Galactica series on DVD, apparently about six years too late. I am almost at the end of Kingdom Hearts II for the PS2, after which I will be left with only about 500 more games to play. And I just shot a cameo for a Jonathan Coulton music video.
What’s new with you?
