Happy Pi Day.

Today has kicked off with a quiet morning, the only sounds (so far) are the refrigerator, the clock and sound of my typing. It looks like it’s going to be a sunny day and possibly warmer than it has been for the past few days.

Last night’s Clitorati was fun. While out, I finally picked up a box set of the Star Wars trilogy. The original one. The good one. I had a coupon that made the deal lucrative. I was a bit torn, though – I almost opted to get The Lord of the Rings trilogy. But, I was tempted by the Dark Side swayed by the fact that the Star Wars set contained not only the “new and improved” versions of the movies, but the original theatrical releases.

• I think I’m done with my Sodam Yat figure. I gave him a head last night before heading to coffee. The head I used was perfect for the look I need… but not exactly the perfect size – the neck is a little too big. I’m okay with that. And, I think that I can smooth out the “rough edges” with a little clay. Or… maybe I’ll just let it be. *shrug* We’ll see how it goes.
