Man, the weather this time of year! So indecisive and wacky. Snow, rain, super-cold, almost warm. But considering that it's like this every year around this time, this makes for rather sad and uninteresting subject matter.

You're welcome. I do hope you weren't planning to go anywhere for a while.
So I recently got new glasses. My old ones were crooked (very crooked) and not entirely what I had wanted in the first place due to being the free insurance-paid pair (they give you about ten choices, half of which should only be worn when one is at absolutely no risk of being seen), and I realized that I really needed to start wearing them on a regular basis. I like being able to read things, it's just in my nature. Not being able to read things makes me anxious.
The fact that my new glasses bear a strong resemblance to the ones that a certain dashing Doctor tends to wear while reading things on his TARDIS's console and generally saving planets from disaster... Yeah, that is a complete coincidence. They just look good on me, that's all! Besides, no one can pull off square-framed glasses like David Tennant, and I really wouldn't dream of attempting it. Honest. But I have been told by quite a few people that my new specs look pretty good on me, so that's nice. (And they're a little more rounded than the Doctor's, anyway. Even though I totally wasn't going for that... Oh, alright. I'll stop with the TV Tropes potholing. -sigh-)
I don't suppose anyone reading this is an Order of the Stick fan? You've missed this by now anyway, but its creator (Rich Burlew) recently raised over one million dollars on KickStarter in under a month. He was initially asking for about 60k just to reprint one of the books, and ended up with enough to reprint the entire series and add a whole bunch of goodies along the way. Plus some, I think. I contributed, which was fun, and also means that I get all of the print-only books that were previously out of stock. I'm certainly happy about it. Also totally surprised and indescribably impressed.

Anyway, now that I've done a bit of advertising for two things that are my favorites in their respective medias, I think I'll wrap this blog post up. Why do I keep posting so late at night/early in the morning? Oh, right... It's because I'm an inveterate night owl. Yeeeaaahhh... (That could have been either a drawn out 'yeah' or a yawn. I'll leave that one open to interpretation.)
So long.
