One of these days I'll remember I have this blog...

Just a short note....

Anime land....
Finished up Otome Yokai Zakuro, one of the few series I enjoyed last fall/winter.
Otherwise, keeping up with Kimi ni Todoke (shoujo angst) and a couple of odd ones.

Working!! was just announced as a second season for the summer and there's an OVA due out of Seitokei Yakuindomo, so goodness there.

Gaming-wise...
Still mashing along in Everquest 2. It remains more compelling than many MMOs simply because there's so much to do and its frankly nostalgic. Some of my other games (Dragon Age, Recettear, etc) are just idling in limbo as a result.

Finally scored a couple of interviews in the last month... but both were "already had someone in mind and are just going through the motions". I've been on the hiring side long enough to know the clues. I'm really tired of not-working. Absolutely anything that requires a smidge of brain power would be good or something that benefits the community. I've been volunteering but even that has been sporadically available.

I'm trying not to turn this into any rant... but I'm increasingly pessimistic about the country I'm in and its probable future. Both sons are training in careers that provide options elsewhere on the planet so perhaps they'll make out.
