I planned on sleeping until ten o'clock this morning, seeing as how I didn't get to bed until close to four o'clock. But I was wide awake a little after nine o'clock so I rolled with it and got out of bed because I figured if I fell back to sleep I would have been screwed trying to wake up later. Basically, all of this means I am tired now. And have been for the majority of the day.

At work I read a bunch and did a little bit of knitting. I would have done more knitting but I spent more than two hours turning a mess of yarn into a ball of yarn. That was a project I was entirely fed up with about five minutes after I started but for some reason I became determined to complete the task. And I did. More than two hours later. Which means I didn't have the time to finish the test of my next knitted thing but I did get a start. It might become an actual thing.

Tonight I watched the 50^th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who and it was pretty great. The interaction between David Tennant and Matt Smith was awesome and I wish the Doctors would have interactions with themselves more often. It was also just great seeing Tennant as the Doctor again. Matt Smith is good and he made it his own but Tennant will always be my favorite.

And keeping with a good night for TV, I also watched New Girl from last week and it may have been the best written episode to date. Coach was going on a date with Cece, Schmidt was trying to stop it, and Jess was trying to stop Schmidt. While Nick and Winston were off on a cat adventure. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I laughed out loud more than once.

I also squeezed in a few Spanish lessons on food. I did decent. At this point I think I should go back over all the lessons I have completed so far and see how much of it I have retained. I have surprised myself more than once with what I have remembered when I have been asked to write out a Spanish translation.

While I was watching stuff I did some research on the 3DS XL. Yesterday I really got into the idea of getting one, mainly to play Ocarina Of Time again. And Animal Crossing: New Leaf. After all my research tonight I added several more games to that list as well a developed a bit of jealousy for the exclusive color releases of the device in other countries. The desire to get one is still going strong two days in but I'm going to keep mulling it over and see if it is a real thing or just a flash in the pan. I might dig out my Nintendo 64 tomorrow and play the real thing.
