Mom bought me a Charmander keychain in Singapore. I hadn't removed it from its package yet.
It's removed now.

Mo and I checked out Sam's Burgers after the work holiday party. He caught me in an amazing moment of Americana.
Consolation Cookie
Blog kitt decided around 22:46 on 13 December 2016 to publish this:Yes, that's right, I am right now having a consolation cookie. It looks like this:
I successfully managed, once again, to damage my car in a completely random way, all without doing any damage to any other vehicle, person, or property. While I want to say that I'm so frustrated with this, the reality is, I've done it before, and it's not like I don't already know what my luck is like. This time, it wasn't a tree, it was a f'ing curb. This time, I wasn't in a bad mood, quite the contrary, I had just finished dinner with Mo and Benny Lava and was all set to spend time relaxing in a forest.
Upside, Mo was around to help me shove the parts back together well enough to drive on surface streets.
Downside, fixing my car AGAIN was really not something I was planning on spending money on this year.

Book Notes Yeah, kitt finished writing this at 22:19 on 13 December 2016
I have had this book on my shelf for a long time. I knew this was the first book of the series and that the series wasn't completely written and that the fans of the author are as frustrated with the author's not completing the series as much as George R.R. Martin's fans are at not finishing the Song of Ice and Fire already. So, I hadn't started the series, of which there are two books currently published.
Well, earlier this month, for reasons I don't quite recall, I picked up the book and started reading.
And immediately kicked myself for not having started reading the book when it was published, almost ten f'ing years ago.
The story is told in two timelines: present with Kote the innkeeper, and Kvothe, a young kid of eight as he grows up and into Kote. The first part of the book, described to me as "the slow start of the book, just get through it to the good stuff," was interesting. And I like how the present and past interweave. I like Rothfuss' story telling, and I like the world he has created.
Recommended if you like sci-fi fantasy books.
Along with the next book, The Wise Man's Fear, which I started reading about 5 minutes after I finished this one. That one is going to mean I've read only 73 books this year, since it'll likely take me until the end of the year to finish it. And then I'll be among the many, many fans wondering when book three will be out.
