Can’t believe that we are already in March now. February was exhausting. My calendar looks empty but there were just too many task simultaneously going on in my mind. One was the broken door to our garden, which meant that the dogs could not go there for their business as they are used to. I was so tired of walking the dogs all the time and it took a whole month for our door getting repaired. Well, at least I visited my first concert this year! Snow Patrol in my old home town/home venue in Düsseldorf. I saw them there like 15 years ago? Time flies. The concert was really nice, the songs were great, the venue had all the food I want and my friends and I had a nice place to sit.
Gaming: It was a good gaming month. We played Ark Nova, Forest Shuffle and Dorfromantik Sakura. Thanks to the library I could check out Krakel-Orakel, Sky Team and Captain Flip. And then Finspan arrived, the Wingspan sister game but with fish and slightly different game play. I very much like the game.
Books: I am still with Brandon Sanderson’s Wind and Truth. But I finished another long book, Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros. It was so boring and could have been cut by half. It’s a pity because I still kind of like the idea and the plot, but so much talking and talking and not enought action. And I listened to another couple of short stories, most from the Forward Collection. I liked: Summer Frost by Blake Crouch, Emergency Skin by N.K. Jemisin and Ark by Veronica Roth.
Films:
Not that many. I watched Macbeth in cinema. It was the theatre play with David Tennant and Cush Jumbo. I very much enjoyed it but I’m glad I wasn’t live at the venue because the theatre was quite small and there was a weird bit with viewer interaction.
A nice bit of entertainment was The Gorge. Nice idea, nice horror stuff and kind of funny romance. I also saw Civil War which was a bit surreal because it was filmed before the USA turned to fascism but seemed like a direct allusion to the current events.
