Hello, dear readers! We are now only a few days until Christmas, when lots of kids and geeks will suddenly have a lot of new toys. I of course am no different, at least in my expectations. New toys are something that future me will have. Present me, the one writing this post, has to make due with (mostly) old toys. So, what did I end up spending my time on this week? Anime, cartoons, and video games, but I’ll keep the details below the fold.

We’re halfway through December and almost to the end of the year now. I’ve had a fairly good week in terms of finding time to enjoy myself. I was finally able to watch the end of one of my favorite animated series, and I got my fancy new laptop that can actually play games and doesn’t hang whenever I try to change tabs in Chrome. And that’s made me very happy. I also had time to finish binge-watching another new animated series and watch Crystal play Dragon Quest XI. I guess I have a lot to write about this week. Best get started.

I’m back after another quick, and busy week of work, including a day trip down to Albuquerque. I’ve never done the out and back businessman trip before, so that was a new experience for me. I had a meeting on Tuesday night that kept me away from my house for most of the evening, then the trip to Albuquerque on Wednesday. Thursday, I spent most of my evening putting together some gift suggestions for Christmas (at my parents request, cause I’m hard to shop for). Other than that, I’ve been up to a lot of the usual stuff: watching too much YouTube videos and baking shows on Netflix. Let’s talk about it anyways.

Hello readers! I hope you all have had a good week, and for those in the U.S., a great Thanksgiving. And if you are interested in such things, found some good deals on electronics and what-not. I’m looking for a new laptop, maybe one that can play games that are withing a few years old, rather than my current computer, which sometimes struggles to run Chrome. But that’s my own issue. Let’s talk about some geeky stuff.

Well, this has been one of those weeks where I didn’t have a lot of time to myself. Tuesday night was spent attending a professional society meeting and Wednesday and Thursday were spent nursing a sick Crystal. And, when I had time, I worked a bit on my review post for Daku Con. But, I did have a little bit of time to enjoy myself, so let’s talk about that.

I’ve had a somewhat busy week: full-time training at work and some last minute volunteering to help with elections. There was also that holiday in the middle of the week which is the reason that I currently have a house full of candy. But, let’s get on with it and talk about the more geeky things that I did this week.

Alright, I past one more week of my travel for the year. It didn’t go quite as well as I had hoped due to some mechanical difficulties, but I was able to get a lot of my work done, and got an introduction to field work with my new company (two years after being hired). But, a big part of this assignment was driving from the western part of North Dakota to the eastern part, about 5 hours straight through. So, that didn’t include a lot of time to goof off. But, I did have some time to play with my gameboy at least. And that is pretty much it. I’m making some more progress in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, and have completed a few more of the plot quests even.

I’m back home this next week though, and may actually have time to enjoy myself again. Have a great week and game on!

I spent a short portion of the week away, but had some good fun. This week only had short flights, but also had relatively shorter days in the field and some time to play some video games in the evening. I’m a bit distracted from watching anime currently, mostly because I decided to give another show a chance. So, let’s talk about that a bit.
