Wednesday: real glad to be on the last day of my workweek. Still watching Preach get through Heavensward on my breaks and lunches (he just finished The Vault on the video I watched today), and afterwards, Julie and I decided to clean up the basement, as the shop vac bags we'd ordered were finally here. Once we'd mopped and vacuumed the dirt out of all the corners (which will probably be back in less than a week), we came back upstairs to clean up and eat leftover shrimp fried rice for dinner. I spent some time catching up on my my project, played a couple of rounds of Hearthstone, and continued pursuing Manderville storylines in FFXIV. (I finished the "Nashu Goes East" series and moved on to the Endwalker quests.) Up too late, so I'll go to bed now.
Monday: the building we live in had once been expanded to add a kitchen and divide it into six residential units. What this meant for the basement is that they knocked a bunch of the bricks out of the back wall and left a crawlspace where they put the plumbing in. I don't think they even put any concrete down; it would explain why there's so much dirt in the rest of the basement. They floored over the original staircase, so the basement has a weird, decaying staircase that you cannot climb because it doesn't go anywhere. It just runs right into the ceiling. I knew about all this.
What I didn't know is that, underneath this pointless ruined staircase, the renovators had left a four foot long, two foot wide, one foot deep pile of dirt, sand, cement dust, gravel, old clothespins, brick fragments, and other debris, and in the intervening years, some number of cats (my own, obviously, but likely earlier cats as well) had doubled the size of this pile with their now-petrified excrement.
Anyway, Julie and I took an hour or two getting as much of that out of the apartment as we could.

Friday: we visited Side Pockets for dinner, and this was when we were in the corner next to the punching bag game and the virtual golf. The people visiting these games were pretty distracting: the boxers were obnoxious, but I found the dedicated video golfers a little bit fascinating. Not sure whether this was an improvement over the televised drama of wrestling weigh-ins, though.

Sunday: we watched Die Hard at the Palace Theater as part of a tribute to Alan Rickman. While we'd both seen it before, neither of us had seen it in a theater yet.

Saturday: this might be the first time I ordered the Jalisco Special at Playa Azul, which would become my favorite meal to eat at my favorite restaurant within the next decade.
