Monday: Q265 I need to clear out tabs.

• Constellations from different cultures.
• I bought a pair, and it is the best curry spoon.
• Tumblr quotes.
• I wish more authors did AO3 style tags and content warnings for their books.  It's a good idea, would help a lot of people who want to avoid certain things, and it would help me prioritize my to-read pile. 
• Speaking of AO3: "Expert Judgment on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion... - Sandia Labs"
• This is what I used to reconstruct my AC: Odyssey controls on AC: Valhalla.
• Good Gideon/Harrow theories.
• I want a flying squirrel hoodie/blanket.
• What is up with Selina's newest costume?

And the election went correctly this year, so I don't have to worry all day every day.

Also AC: Valhalla came out, and that's eaten up all my free time.  It contains:

Fields full of fox corpses, because you need fur.

Fishing!

Slowly choking a man to death while you're on fire!

Petting dogs!

Randvi!

Serious Viking Things!

Petting cats!

It's a good game.

Saturday: Q200

 

My ballot arrived today.

So tomorrow I'll have to go drop it off.  I'm glad my state is well prepared, so I can get election stuff done five weeks before the regular date.

Wednesday: Q190 😩

Today my roomba magically woke up, vacuumed everything, and then found its way back to the charger.  I had been convinced that it was angry about a kleenex caught in the wheel well, and so I had knocked it off the charger until I got around to fixing it.  Whatever.  Clean floors.

Garlic noodle recipe.

This kind of air filter.

• Holodeck time.
• Carbon contribution.

Friday: Q171

 

It has been almost 200 days since I last had ramen.  This was super spicy, but the chashu was delicious.

Friday: Q150

I miss sushi.

At least the bbq place is pretty good.

Sunday: Q138/Why?

Thursday: Q128/Waves

Not cumulative.

Friday: Q100/Juneteenth

It's going to be a holiday at Princeton from now on.

Here's a lunch from a week ago.

Monday: Q80/Marshal

Tuesday: Q74/That's not good.

Good thing I have a second bathroom I can use until this is fixed.

But having my upstairs neighbor's plumbing leak isn't great.  I wonder if this also explains why that corner has been impossible to keep clean.

• Mole Cricket.
• I want this chair, but it's $800.
• I guess that's the bare minimum they can do.

Thursday: Q69/Ugh.

I'm kind of tired of this, but I also am not looking forward to everything opening again.  I suspect it'll be only a week or two before we have to shut down again.

I've been moving buildings on my island.

I got rid of Phil.

So I could bring in Whitney.

WTF, Croque?  Why are you burning leaves inside?

Knox, you're lucky you're the third worst villager.

Ozzie, however, is great.

And went to both birthday parties.

Diana, that's a bit creepy.

Sable talks to me.

See?  Birthday 2.

Mabel doesn't get it.

• This is sad.  I'm glad they're recasting her role, though.  The show is pretty good.
• Utaka Hikaru.

Tuesday: Q60/All I want to do, is see you turn into, a giant woman

I finished the DLC

Atlantis.

Participated in a coup d'etat to put a human transformed into an Isu on the throne, making her like second in command.

Ambushed this guard who looked very impatient I was late to the trap he was setting.

Perfect parking job of this boat.

That looks familiar.

Tracked down an "abandoned" laboratory.

Where everything I fought in the regular game was made.

So judgement was passed, and Atlantis was destroyed.

• This spell is probably overpowered.
• Getty Animal Crossing converter.
• Princeton Museum supports the image exchange format.
• A better way to draw designs for AC.

Wednesday: Q54/I was hungry

It was the best 5 Guys burger ever.

Tuesday: Q53/It's hard to keep up with the constant nothing.

At least PrimeNow limits orders to once a week.  That seems to be cutting down on the congestion, as I was able to get an order in yesterday for delivery today.

There's also been lots of time for Assassin's Creed:

Helping Charon.

Mocking Hades terrible taste.

Double killing the Cyclops.

Escorting Phoibe to Elysium.

Failing at chucking a guy into Tartaros.

Fighting Herakles.

 Fighting Agamemnon.

Fighting Perseus.

Seeing the real Medusa.

Kicking Hades' ass.

Getting angry at the Atlanteans for their dumb architecture designs.

Accidentally "helping" the wrong side because of a lion attack.

I also tracked down a clue I missed today when I hunted down a region leader after being frustrated at work.  Apparently there was a story to one of the bad guys that I just skipped by being in the right place at the wrong time.

• Fishing.
• Tumblr.
• I should decorate with this.
• And this.
• Ok.  I'll play this one too, then.
