Saturday: spent a lot of time catching up on emails and chat messages today, and while I should have had plenty of time to do my work projects, I kept looking at big groups that were locked and couldn't be opened. Hoping that I'll be able to anticipate that issue tomorrow and screen the groups I pick up a little better. We're struggling to get our programmable thermostat to actually stay engaged; for some reason it keeps going idle and the apartment warms up. Julie made that broccoli and sausage casserole, and we watched another pair of Poirot episodes. I liked the episode about the twin-studying psychologist, but "The Big Four" didn't hold my attention much, aside from being excited to see Japp and Miss Lemmon and Captain Hastings again. Kinda thought I might go to bed early (since I want to wake up around 3 AM on Friday, and it's not a bad idea to start shifting my schedule forward to accommodate that), but after watching a video of a guy struggling to complete GTAIV missions when most cars have been cursed with maximized speed values, I'm energized to resume doing some prep work for MMO accounts tonight.
Thursday: another mercifully slow workday. I listened to Extrasode 9 of this podcast when I had breaks in my work, and after work, a Disco Elysium playthrough I've been following on Twitch resumed. Got kind of a late start on dinner, which was just more scalloped potatoes. I've been trying to decide how I feel about the Adrift format for interactive fiction. My first reaction to every non-Glulx or non-Inform format is to be dismissive, and it's pretty unfair. The Adrift games I've played have tended toward bigger blocks of text, almost CYOA-like in their structure, but that might not actually be representative of the form. I don't have many conclusions at the moment: the formatting conventions kind of throw me off, but otherwise I'm sure Adrift games are fine.

Saturday: we got into the hotel at like 4:49 AM. After sleeping off the trip, we figured that as long as we're in Houston, we should try Whataburger for lunch. Neither of us were impressed. After that, we hung out at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites pool while preparing for the Kesha concert. To celebrate, we each got a temporary Pokemon tattoo, though I'm not sure why we picked Pokemon, exactly. We enjoyed the concert! Dancing eyeballs performed on stage during one of her songs. We did end up getting a little sunburned.
