Day 5 of quarantine here, and I’m starting to go a bit stir crazy…

Well, we’ve found our way to another Friday the 13th. I don’t put stock in those things, but it feels like a really weird coincidence this time around. Colorado has declared a state of emergency and banned all large meetings. And we’ve also seen our first death related to COVID-19. I’m looking at potentially going to remote work for the foreseeable future.

/Hi friends. It has been a week, and I didn’t get to have as much time for fun as I had hoped. Such is the life of the local political party officer during primary season. The Colorado Caucuses are this weekend and I’m busy preparing for them. Once past, I’m hoping that I’ll be a little less busy. And, I’m having trouble with watching Keep Your Hands of Eizouken, but not because its bad. It’s because it is so good, and I don’t want to get to the end of the available episodes. As an alternative, I picked up Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, thanks to the recommendation by Geoff Thew (YouTube: Mother’s Basement). And its been a lot of fun in a fairly old-school way. One part of that charm is the ways that the production studio stretched their budget to the absolute breaking point. Plus, an opening theme that feels like it was written in the 90’s. I’m about 4 episodes in, and the comedy is really good. I hope you give it a chance as well.
Now, that all I have time to talk about this week. I’ve got books to read and a caucus to prepare for. Have a great week and game on!

/Hi folks. I was so busy on travel last week that I didn’t have time to do anything very geeky. Mostly, I was out on project sites and then talking with project engineers after hours. And, I flew back on a redeye last night, which has left me very loopy. I’ll try to have something more posted for you all next week, but this is all that I can managed tonight. Have a great week and game on!

Hi folks and welcome back! I managed to spend a bit more of my time this week doing things that I enjoy, rather than chores. On the other hand, I’ve tended to horde new episodes of anime and not watch them. I just want to binge through stuff later, and I can’t do that when there is only one episode coming out each week. It just too hard to wait. But, I have been playing some Warcraft as well, and that lends itself to being talked about . Let’s get started!

/Hi folks! It’s been a fairly busy week this time around. Between running and going to a science lecture, I didn’t have the energy for a lot of other activities. With caucuses coming up, I’ve also been working on getting organized and ready for that. All that I really have to talk about is reading a little more of Quiet and playing a little more World of Warcraft. Neither of these feel like the sort of thing that I need to spend a full blog post on. I’m going to drop things off here, before I get too rambling. I’ll have something more to talk about next weekend. Until then, have a great week and game on!

Hi folks! I hope everyone had a good week. Here in Colorado we had a bunch of snow this week. Which is somewhat typical for February. But, that came on the heels of a 70 degree high last Sunday. And the overnight low on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning was -1. That temperature swing really hurt, and I’ve spent as little time as possible outside for the last few days. And, instead of doing the geeky things that I think most of you would be interested in, I’ve been reading some books for work. Like, leadership stuff. But, I did start watching a new anime series this week as well, and I think you all will enjoy hearing about that.

Hi readers! I may have premature on my end of season wrap up for My Here Academia. At this point I’m not sure when one season ends and the next one begins. Anyways, I want to talk about the latest English language episode, “Bright Future”, so spoilers a’hoy. Don’t look at this post if you are worried about spoilers.

Hi folks! Sorry about the lack of posts on my end. I was travelling last week and just felt way to tired to talk about anything. I also felt like I hadn’t done much. I spent a few minutes playing Warcraft in the evening, but didn’t feel like I had much to practically report about it. This week went a little better in terms of recreational activities. I spent a lot of time trying to finish up My Hero Academia before the new season of anime comes on in full force. With that said, let’s talk about the second half of this season of My Hero and then a little bit about what I’ve been doing in Warcraft,

Hello and Happy New Year! I hope everyone else had a good break for the holidays and didn’t have too rough of a time coming back to work full-time again. If, on the other hand, you are somehow still on holidays, just don’t tell me and pretend that things are too rough. I’ve been back at work for a week now and starting to get back into the normal swing of things. I did take most of Monday just to catch up on email and then the rest of the week working on partially completed projects from before my break. But you probably don’t want to hear about that. You’d rather hear about what I did during break, right?
