Yesterday I forgot to mention that I started my day by cleaning out the inside of my computer tower. I have been waiting too long in between cleanings lately. I need to get better at that. It always makes me feel better after I have cleaned out all the dust and made it look new again. Or at least pretty close to new. Some of the dust is very persistent.

Today I watched stuff and played Cube World. I know that I continued watching the first season of New Girl but I am pretty sure I watched something else. Maybe. Or not. I don't know. Anyway, Cube World. I leveled up a couple more times, tamed a badass Leaf Runner, killed a bunch of scary fish in the ocean, and spent a lot of time in a temple dungeon. I have yet to beat a dungeon boss but I do believe I have made significant progress at beating up the minions leading up to the boss. As long as I can keep it to only fighting two or three at a time. When I aggro more than that It gets a bit difficult to kite them around long enough to kill them all, especially when my pet dies. I am really enjoying the game, even if my wrists aren't. It gets more fun as I level up because I don't get immediately annihilated by all the mobs I come across. Only a lot of them.

Tonight at work I nearly finish the second letter in my cross stitch. I could have gotten even closer but I decided I needed a break. And I wanted to type this up before I got home so I didn't have to worry about it. I should be able to finish the second letter tomorrow, fingers crossed, and maybe get a start on the third. I'm creeping up on the halfway mark. I won't be able to keep this pace up when the school year begins but maybe I can finish it by then. That is a big maybe.

While I worked on the cross stitch I watched Blood & Chrome, a movie prequel to Battlestar Galactica that follows Adama (Edward James Olmos's character in Battlestar Galactica) on his first mission when he first joined the military. It was pretty good and it was interesting getting a glimpse at that world before the series. Caprica didn't last but I need to check that out next. I only saw an episode or two when it was on TV but couldn't really get into it because I didn't know what was going on. It, too, is a prequel to Battlestar Galactica, and now that I have watched that, maybe Caprica will be more meaningful.

I also started watching series seven of Doctor Who. I'm not looking forward to reaching the end. I'm sure they throw in some funny stuff but I just remember the sad bit. And I guess it isn't necessarily sad because their is a twist, as there tends to be with Doctor Who, but it is still kind of sad. Especially when you add in the storyboarded post script that wasn't filmed but just makes the whole thing more of a tear-jerker. I'll get there soon enough. And then I think I'll start Sherlock. Keeping with the British theme.

When I wasn't doing all of that stuff, I read a bit from Under The Dome and did some actual work by building a couple movies, minus the trailers because we don't have a trailer list yet. And now I have about twenty-five or thirty minutes before I can clock out and go home. We don't have a ten o'clock show in the morning which is nice because I can get an extra hour of sleep. It still sucks waking up in the morning to the sound of an alarm. Though it is better when the alarm is set to 8:00AM or 8:30AM and it is light outside, compared to 6:00AM during the school year.
