Greetings all!!
I am slowly, but surely, recovering from that nasty fall that I had. It's been over two weeks and I still can't sleep laying down, but I am getting closer I think. I was certain that at some point I would have a super nasty bruise to take a picture of and show off, but the injury must have been too deep or not broken any blood vessels.
I finally beat Borderlands 2 the other day. I really enjoyed it and have started another play-through. I may pause on the game for a while though so that I can play something else for a while. I have Shadows of the Damned to finish and Lollipop Chainsaw to start, so I might take a break to enjoy those a bit.
I still have several other games to try and finish, but my gaming time has been curbed a bit by my Museum work. The job has been a bit overwhelming, but absolutely wonderful so far. I keep pinching myself wondering if it is all real, lol. It is.
We have artist Andy Magee coming to town in February to talk to some classes and to attend a reception for him. It is kind of unusual for us to have an artist installed for more than a semester, but since his artwork has been such a hit with the students it is a pleasure to have it around for another semester. His use of 'found materials' to make works of art is really cool to me.
Andy Magees' 'Change'
When I was younger I fell in love with Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witches novels. Since then, I haven't really found many vampire or witch books that I really liked (although I really did like Harry Potter which I could place in that 'witch' category). That being said I just finished Deborah Harkness' A Discovery of Witches and really enjoyed it. My biggest thing with vampire books especially is the use and focus on history. You have these immortal creatures that have lived through all of the incredible moments of history and many of the vampire authors completely disregard that. Anne Rice spent a lot of time exploring that element and Deborah Harkness does the same thing. If you enjoy witches and vampires and enjoy a bit of easy to follow (in my opinion) historic background I highly recommend her books.
Well that's it for now. I'm enjoying a day off, filled with reading, napping, and gaming so I best get back to it.
