My mother, my daughter, and I create movie- and series-watching projects, and then watch through a bunch of things that have good to great ratings from critic aggregators. Currently we are watching through various things that deal with Russian history.<p>I play MMOs with my mother and my brother. As with the TV-watching, we come up with themed projects where we try something a bit out of the ordinary. For example, our current project is leveling up three Druids in World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King Classic and three-manning all the 5-man dungeons within the recommended level range.<p>I write, play, and record songs and electronic music compositions.<p>I contribute to a few open-source projects, both my own and a couple of other people's. Because it's for fun, I almost always use Common Lisp.<p>I write science fiction novels. The current one is the fourth in a series about our solar system five thousand years in the future. Each one has taken longer to finish. I'm presently happy with my progress, though this one is taking longer than any of the previous ones, and I've started over eight or nine times so far.<p>I used to train, play with, and walk with my standard poodle. She died of a rare cancer last year about this time, around three to five years earlier than expected. We were very sad here. I'm waiting for breeding news from her breeder. Our plan is to adopt her great-great-grandniece and resume training, playing, and walking.<p>I practice training routines I learned from the Taijiquan teachers from Chen Village. I practice gently now, because of some serious chronic health issues. I will never get to where I was in 2001 or so, but I've been making a little progress lately.
