Another month. Oops.

Let's start off with things that have happened most recently. I've been knitting, and yesterday I finished my project. Because of the Olympics and increased transport congestion, I've been taking the 6.10 train to the city, and knitting is good for the commute. I'm currently writing out some notecards so I can work on my next thing.
I also watched all of Teen Wolf - the first season on Sunday last week, and the second from Sunday night through to Tuesday. (Work is so inconvenient sometimes.) It's been a little while since I marathoned something without getting bored of it in some way, and the show is surprisingly good at being consistent with plot and maintaining engagement. Now I have to wait for the last two episodes. Rude.

The night of the opening ceremony, I went to see The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time with The (Ex-) Flatmate and hestia8. Guys. GUYS. What an amazing adaptation of the book! It's a minimalist stage, made up like the inside of the protagonist's mind, which makes full use of its cast. Some of it was like a dance. I loved it so much that I've bought tickets to see it again in a couple of weeks.
I also went to see The Lion King. I saw it a few years back, but this time we went for yaiyeishka's birthday, and I got us aisle seats. THE ANIMALS COME DOWN THE AISLES. I was embarrassingly moved by the opening sequence. I came over all Dana from Sports Night.

I'm sure I had more to talk about, but I can't remember. Oh! So, I got sucked into this game on G+. I don't normally play games online - the rare few are, like, bejewelled and bubble blast knock-offs. I was playing something similar on G+ a couple of months ago but then those games got taken down, so I stopped. Obviously. But last night I started playing this game where you build "cities" by clustering objects until their combined value increases. e.g. Three grasses makes a bush, three bushes makes a tree, three trees a small house etc. etc. IT IS MENTAL. Sometimes there are bears! If you trap the bears they turn into headstones. I-- yeah. There are also NINJA BEARS that can TELEPORT.
Let me say that again: TELEPORTING NINJA BEARS.
I don't even know, but I am so addicted to this stupid thing.
