:bulletorange: Get super stoked about the final season of Legend of Korra Watched the first episode, I'm eager to see how this story's going to play out. ^_^
:bulletyellow: Catch up on RWBY and TMNT episodes with my sister when she comes home for Thanksgiving All caught up now! :dummy:
:bulletgreen: I'm still on the fence about a Hallowe'en costume, it IS on a Friday this year. Hmmm...
:bulletblue: Work on another fun Nerd Brigade Art Project
:bulletpurple: Add some more fun to the mix with a 30 Day Challenge
