Saturday: having such a long weekend is having a counterintuitive impairment on my productivity. I drove us to Taco Bell for lunch, and at the last minute, I decided to make the new orzo recipe for dinner. While I got the cat litter, I couldn't muster the motivation to vacuum yet, and I don't think I'm going to do any streaming today. At the very least, I managed to disassemble my computer case and rotate my RAM after dusting out the interior to address the freeze crash Windows has been subjecting me to lately. Dinner came together very smoothly, and I came out to the living room to watch some Futurama while we ate. Julie's spending her evenings going through a series of "mystery" puzzles with unusual internal connections. Once I was done eating, I started a new interactive fiction project to spend my laptop time on, though I didn't get very far because I kept getting caught up reading the Dial C for Cupcakes annotated source. Once Julie went to bed, I got caught in a cycle of watching people's reactions to the 7.4 trailer for FFXIV, but Julie pointed out I was staying up for no good reason, and I came to bed by 3 AM.
Friday: I had to use up my PTO since my employer is no longer unused hours out on my last paycheck of the year, so today was one of three or so days I'd requested off just to use up that time. Didn't really do anything special with the time; I picked up lunch from the halal cart for the two of us, and otherwise I just spent a bunch of time playing Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania. We finished the leftover goulash for dinner, and Julie requested that I make the meatball pasta recipe next week, so that should make my shopping trip easier. We ended up eating kind of late, so we pursued our own interests again, which meant I went right back into unlocking more of the Belmonts and their associates in Vampire Survivors. Ended up making it to the credits before I logged out for the night, but this definitely isn't over.
Wednesday: The first of my three days off included a bit of project-work, though not much of concrete utility. There were a bunch of updates on cohost about Fallen London such that I started playing again for the first time in maybe six years. Since we're going to be doing our own things tomorrow night, we watched more It's Always Sunny while eating leftover chili for dinner, and we played Civ VI once we stopped eating. Julie won through a diplomatic victory, as my minimalist approach left me underdeveloped an without a specific victory path to pursue. To change things up afterwards, she switched to playing Murder, She Wrote, and we got through the first of episode before she had to retire. I did a little bit of alt-leveling in WoW before I came to bed.

Select Button folks introduced me to Ultimate Chicken Horse at one of the meetups. It's not quite as much fun without other people in the room to react to your nonsense, but it's still pretty fun. I think I preferred it on console, though. I only played about 15 minutes on Steam today.
Steam:
Ultimate Chicken Horse - Craftsperson
Thursday: a Switch game must have come out, as I felt it necessary to remind friends on facebook that my code is SW-5837-9374-6589.
