Jennifer's 365 Project

Even though work was crazy busy and stressful, the sun was shining too much to skip lunch! It was wonderful outside and I'm glad I took a walk downtown.

Ok, so I know I said I didn't think I'd get enough out of an online Elder Scrolls game to warrant buying it and subscribing. Well, as time went on I started to kind of miss Elder Scrolls Online and I decided it was worth buying it and subscribing, at least for a few months. I played World of Warcraft for years, so I'm not necessarily against subscriptions for games, I just haven't found one I'd be willing to do that with.

At least I thought I hadn't.

So I spent a lot of today playing in the 5 day head start (for pre-orders, the game officially launches on 4/4).
We did take several walks outside and enjoyed the sunshine and warmer weather. There were plenty of people playing basketball at the park, skateboarding, and just running around enjoying temperatures above freezing.

We also discovered that the automatic cat feeder was set too low...so the cat wasn't getting enough food. That might explain his chewing on the wall yesterday in frustration. Oops!

It's all fixed now, so he's a much happier cat.
And then of course in the evening I played a little more Elder Scrolls Online.

The semi-annual Grand Rapids Toy and Comic Show is today, so we popped in real quick to see everything. Chris didn't end up picking up any action figures this time, but we did see more cosplay this time around. This event is only a few blocks from our house, so we pop in anytime it's going on just as something to do.
We ran some errands, walked around in the mall, and then went to see The Grand Budapest Hotel, which was delightful.

When we got home, the cat was not so delightful. He started to actually chew on part of the wall... Someone is very frustrated about the new cat feeder.

Leki is a smidge food obsessed. And by smidge, I mean destroys cables, knocks over things, chews fake plants and anything else he can get his mouth on. Basically he's slowly becoming a terror again about food.

The last pet feeder we tried, he figured out pretty quickly how to stick his paw up and feed himself.

So this time we've decided to try something a little sturdier. It even has a small guard on the front to prevent "food obsessed" cats from getting their paws inside the device.

He's spent a chunk of the evening trying to break into it and so far it's survived.

Most of the time I use Audible on my phone at work and listen to audiobooks. Occasionally I use another program called Smart AudioBook. Unlike Audible, Smart Audiobook will actually send the name of the file playing to the Pebble. That's a nice touch.

There's a new giant TV outside of MLive's offices in the skywalk downtown. It's kind of silly looking, really.

Sigh.

It snowed a little this morning, although the only thing that managed to survive past noon was what remained in the shadows.

It's snowing outside...

I have zero interest in Titanfall, which was recently released for PC and Xbox One. So this month's Loot Crate for me was less interesting. But there's a tshirt I'll probably sleep in, and a manga (Attack on Titan) that I've read (which wasn't bad).

Plus the cat is really interested in the lanyard.

Despite the cold, there was sunshine outside. So I took a very short lunch and walked across the Grand River that runs through downtown. There were lots of ice chunks floating down the river. It's only a matter of time before the flooding advisories start, now that spring is here.

It still isn't quite warm enough to read outside on lunch.

I'm starting to get really restless now. I haven't been able to do that for ages, it feels like.
