RogueLibrarian Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Still reserving the right to indulge my Assassin's Creed obsession, however. 2 Quote "We can be heroes" Link to post

I count on it. 3 minutes ago, Asa Pond said: Also Witcher looks pretty cool. I'm intrigued. It's (Witcher 3, the current one) really fun. It's huge. I had to take a break in the middle after seeing that a complete playthrough can take 100 hours, but I'm back in deep. It's much less linear than Assassin's Creed (to pick one random example, no reason) with a ton of side quests. The combat is fun; there's dodging and rolling and different strikes and spells you can cast on the fly in the middle of a fight. I just totally ditched the main quest line to go collect a cool set of weapons and armor and level it all the way up before I hit the final missions. 3 minutes ago, Asa Pond said: THIS IS A WONDERFUL GOAL. ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH SUCH A SPLENDID IDEA???? I stole it. SHHHH I'M A SNEAKY THIEF 3 minutes ago, Asa Pond said: Are you still Kickboxing? Yep! Been off for two weeks for the holidays, but back at it this week. Tomorrow I may go to a kettlebell class instead just because of scheduling, but I've stuck with kickboxing quite regularly, at least once a week for months now. It's going to be brutal coming back after a break, but at least I've been doing well about running to keep my stamina up. 12 minutes ago, black_daquiri said: Me also.

RogueLibrarian Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Week 0 midpoint! (Although I'm going to do the Mon-Sun challenge schedule again just because it makes sense to my brain and how I track stuff.) Today: After coffee, switch on browser blocker to keep me off Facebook and NF all goddamn day like I spent yesterday Take a meditation break Therapist KETTLEBELL CLASS after work. These are always tough but I leave feeling like I DID A THING. Checked my weight yesterday and it's good -- no ill aftereffects of all those holiday meals and desserts, which is encouraging and helps me realize I can (sensibly) indulge myself sometimes and not lose momentum. INSPIRADO: Iggy Pop. "Search and Destroy" is really really making me want to jump up and kick over my computer and rip off my shirt and hit stuff and maybe pogo for a while. ... I won't do that. This is a library. ETA: Yesterday I asked a very prominent person in my field if he'd write the foreword to my new book. Hold a good thought. 7 Quote "We can be heroes" Link to post
