August 19, 2015: Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective

I was awake around six this morning.  I seem to be getting up earlier and earlier which is odd as my normal pattern is to naturally get up later and later each day if left to my own devices.  I have no idea what is making me wake up so early every day.  We do not even keep the blinds open in the bedroom so it is quite dark when I am first waking up.

It was not as hot today, still quite warm but not the brutal heat that we had yesterday.  That was a bit much.

Very windy day today and had some Internet problems.  Never lost access but the connection was not the best and everything was really slow and painful to use.

The girls took a shower tonight.  They love the shower here.  It is so big that they can go in there with tons of their toys, spread out and use it like a play room, but with water.  There is no way to use it as a bath tub, it is just a large tiled shower.  It’s the most modern shower that we have had in a very long time.

I played a little bit of Moebius: Empire Rising tonight but just about half an hour.  Dominica decided that she wanted to check out one of the new games that we have: Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective The Case of the Mummy.  The SHCD series is a FMV (Full Motion Video) from the 1990s on the SegaCD platform remastered in HD for the PC.  It is hilariously silly but still fun.  We tried hooking my MacBook Pro up to the television to play it that way but that did not work.  We ended up having to play it on Dominica’s laptop.

We ended up moving into the bedroom and climbing into bed to play on the shared laptop screen which is pretty small.  The game is very silly but we had a good time.  It is a funny premise for making a game.  There are three in the series.  Good for family game nights.
