Mar. 6th, 2016 08:33 amI think it is time I wrote an entry. I have been here and there, hither and yon. Well not really - I have just been here and working. Always working. I have a busy March and April coming up with work so that is good. I like to be busy at work rather than sitting there with nothing to do. So that is better. I have a bunch of events and an awards program to run. Great.
Speaking of work - we had a security breach at the University and the information they got was my bank account and name. So that was alarming. I guess there was a hack into the financial system. I remember something being wrong as they had to close down the system for 5-7 days in December. So I was advised by a few people to change my bank account around so that the hackers don't have access to that - my bank said that and people who work in banking. So that is what I did. Now this effected 1000's of people at work and when I went into work, I noticed that no one was doing anything to protect their banking info. It felt really strange to be the only person that was worrying about. Literally - no one was concerned or they said their bank account was tied into to many things and so they did not feel like changing it - which was exactly why I was changing it. For that very reason. Anyhoo. It was relatively easy to do. I got helped by this really great Slavic banker dude and it took very little time to make sure my money was safe and sound. I already have credit monitoring with my legal plan so I am covered there.
So I saw Deadpool and really enjoyed it with the caveat that I have not read any of the Deadpool comics. So as a movie - it totally worked for me but I don't know anything about the Deadpool character. I just enjoyed the film. My friend who had read the Deadpool comics did not like the film that much and was much more critical of it. So that was a thing. I thought it was excellent and I would see more films with the character. I really thought Ryan Reynolds fit this character. He was funny and talkative and really inhabited the role.
What else. I have been posting some graphics offers. So that is fun. Making little things here and there. It is a fun hobby for me. I am getting some requests so LJ is still slightly active that way.
So that is what's going on. I am still making my way through the 2016 Slashy Valentine stories. Slowly but surely. Really enjoying those. I just read this one - Breathless by elfscribe and found it to be really good - an interesting tale of Gondolin. So give that a read if you have time. I also started reading Keiliss' story - The Pink Flamingo which is being posted in chapters and it is an amusing tale about Glorfindel and Erestor.
Anyways....that is all I have. Today I am going to see the movie - Eddie the Eagle which seems inspiring and I have watched 8 episodes of the new season of House of Cards - binge watching that.
Take care and hope all is well with you!
