I can't guaranteee I'll do this every day; but I thought I'd try ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
maevedarcy's 3 weeks 4 dreamwidth 2026 meme.
Today's meme is about last things.
Movie I watched: X-Men: Days of Future Past. It was on TV a week ago Friday; and, as I hadn't seen it before, I decided to try it. Pretty good! Mind you, like all the movies, it greatly simplifies what was a very complex story in the original comics.
Series I finished: Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Though there's supposed to be a second season, if they show it.
Book I finished: Kate Sedley's The Plymouth Cloak. This is the second in her series of 15th-century history mysteries featuring Roger Chapman. I've been thinning out the detective stories, getting rid of those I figured I'd never want to re-read. After the first volume and then this, both of which I enjoyed, I've decided that I'll hang onto the whole series. Not the most deeply researched or complex, but quite fun.
Book I bought: Stalag Luft III: An Official History of the 'Great Escape' PoW Camp. Originally compiled for the War Office at the end of WWII, this has remarkable detail on the various escape attempts that were made, as well as names and dates, and other such info that tends to be skimped elsewhere. It properly sorts out the different compounds' histories, which not all accounts do. A bit dry, but looks useful in its own way.
Book I received as a gift: N/A really. I mean, nowadays I buy all my books for myself, so they're not precisely gifts. Though I have to admit that I stacked up a nice collection late last fall and didn't start any of them till Christmas; so I suppose that's a gift of sorts, if only from me to me.
Food I ate: Breakfast. A wholewheat flaxseed pita bread with a mug of mocha, followed by a clementine. I'm about to go and make myself a belated tea/dinner.
Meal I cooked: Breaded shrimp. (Last night's dinner.) Though the toaster oven did the work.
Drink I had: Mocha latte. I blend up batches of mocha mix myself, more or less once a month, and make it up with hot skim milk.
Song I listened to: No idea what it is, but the aria currently playing on CFMZ.
Album I listened to: Not in years.
Playlist I listened to: N/A. I just turn the radio on.
Concert I went to: No idea. It would be too many years ago.
Game I played: Sudoku. (Dead easy: I do sudokus every day.)
Person I talked to: My sister. We skype every Sunday.
Person I texted: N/A. I don't have a cellphone.
