Saturday: first thing in the morning, we took the kittens to the new vet. ("Kittens." They're now more than two and a half years old, and they're the biggest and heaviest of our cats.) They didn't love it, but I did get a cute picture of Grey Goose lying on top of Orange Juice behind the computer monitor in the office. We hit up Taco Bell for lunch before going to get groceries. We had some time afterwards before we were supposed to go to the neighbor's new-job party, and I kind of wanted to rewatch Arcane, but after Julie started a video I just switched to Zelda instead.
I've let too much time pass to recall exactly what I played through last week, so this is just going to be a general summary of everything I've accomplished since my Monday update:
Like I'd said before, I didn't want to keep pursuing the Zoras' Domain storyline just yet, so I left my buddy hanging at the entrance to a dungeon in favor of filling out more of the map. I found the Lucky Clover Gazette, then I headed over to Tarrey Town and the extended Akkala region, skirting around the path to Death Mountain in favor of hitting more stables for the newspaper. Eventually I noticed that everybody's first-page story just talks about the blizzard-induced famine hitting Rito Village, so I decided to make that my first actual dungeon. I pushed way into the northwest quadrant, did the Rito stuff and the associated dungeon, and on my way back I ran into the first major flashback storyline. I really want to get into the fifth ring ruin in Kakariko, but there must be some external storyline flag I haven't tripped yet. That's the point at which I left off in Tears of the Kingdom.
The neighborhood party was a celebration of Katie's new job, but mostly it was an excuse to bring a bunch of the local dog park folks together to eat and chat. Julie and I parked ourselves on the wall-side of the table so it was hard to move, but I was on the end, meaning I got to refill her sangria a bunch. (Their mix was a little on the bitter side, but I made heavy use of their lemonade to sweeten it.) I really liked their little caprese salad skewers, and the wings weren't bad, though I'm never gonna be much of a fan of bone-in meat. An older neighbor of British origin brought an excellent cheese selection, and I could have stuffed myself on the little cannoli bites that came out for dessert. We'd brought a huge fruit bowl, but we wound up bringing most of it back home.
