Yesterday, Pokemon turned 30 years old!
I am planning a trip next weekend, so I don’t know if I will be able to do a Saturday Note then. I will try, though.
Remember that, as it is Lent, if you have a Catholic parish near you, you will probably find a Friday night Fish Fry, if you feel like doing fish & chips that night.
I am off of Tumblr for Lent, so everything that you see posted there throughout the next few weeks is pre-queued, or possibly an imposter. I am also cutting back on TV, so presently not watching any shows. I did just finish an obscenely long YouTube video about BIONICLE, which in part inspired this Note. And I’m reading Pratchett’s Monstrous Regiment!
I’ve talked about “Aragorn’s Tax Policy” before, but here’s a good post about it by someone smarter than me. People are also still crying over the canceled Ben Solo movie from Lucasfilm, which still makes no sense to me.
Oh, and I have a new laptop! So far, so good, but it’s still going through the setup phase.
I went and ate ice cream yesterday, I finished something at work, and the plan is to get a haircut today. Also, did you know that AmTrak has vacation packages? Just an observation.
Not sure what I’m reading today, but I just finished the third Sisters Grimm novel. Might I be able to convince my dad to go watch Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die in the theater? Perhaps not this weekend, what with it being Valentine’s Weekend and all, and I suspect the theater might be full…
Anyhow, Lent is coming next week! Be ready!
It’s been an odd week, but it ended well because yesterday was WAITANGI DAY (the birthday), which turned out quite nice, although I definitely ate too much. Let me know if you want leftovers! I’ll e-mail them to you.
Now I’m not sure how this weekend’s going to go, but I have high hopes. I’m just finished with season one of Fallout, in the short time that it’s on YouTube. And maybe I’m about to get into some good books this next week! We’ll see.
Generally, I’m fairly critical in these essays, but today let’s try something different. It is my birthday (or the day after) after all.
