Friday: ordered lunch at Newbold Cafe, played some Hearthstone, put food out in the backyard to distract a local cat that was stalking a squirrel, vacuumed the bedroom and the office, read A Consensus Handbook from Seeds for Change, and eventually we walked down to Broad & Snyder so we could meet up with Justin. (Before we boarded the express, a guy on the local line really wanted to shake my hand for some reason. Neither of us could hear the other speak.) We took the express subway all the way to the north end of the line, road a Lyft to the restaurant, and prepared to celebrate Nolan's birthda, only to discover that our party of 8 was too large to accommodate. Julie, Nolan, and I rode with Marc to Jong Ka Jib instead, which was pretty tasty, though people seemed to struggle with the metal chopsticks. It was nice getting to talk with Marc and Kate, but I gave myself a first degree burn on the back of my left thumb on one of the stone rice bowls.
Once dinner was over, Julie and I took an Uber back to the subway platform. The express wasn't running, so we just took a local, and I practically fell asleep on the way back. At home, Koop and Cliff got into a scuffle for a bit before I stepped in and separated them. Julie and I listened to the sounds of the city until she was ready for bed. I took the opportunity to finally run enough Abyssos raids to get 615 item level in FFXIV, so I got to do the first Anabaseios raid while starting the "Gods Revel, Lands Tremble" storyline. Lots of folks are down on Endwalker's patch content because they want a long-term outdoor progression zone like Bozja or Eureka, but I'm too far behind for that to be a pressing desire. I'm having a lot of fun, and I'm very satisfied with the state of the game, though I see where they're coming from. Hopefully I'll be in a position to enjoy the improvements Dawntrail is likely to bring.

I posted my Spore username ("jsnlxndrlv") on Facebook in hopes of adding friends and seeing what other people were coming up with.
