DuoLingo Streak: 57 Days

Sunday. Today I decided that I was going to camp out in the living room today and play some Broken Sword 2.  The original Broken Sword was great, but it has been years since I played it.  I have been putting off playing the sequel for a long time, but the time has finally come.  The original is from 1996 and the sequel is from 1999, but I have never played it at all.

It took basically the entire day but I played the game, essentially from beginning to end, all today, which is pretty much the best way to play a point and click adventure of this nature.  Broken Sword 2 is stylistically identical to the first game, which is basically just like playing a cartoon, which is great.  It is great artwork and style, I really enjoy it.

Broken Sword 2 is not as long as the first title, which would be very hard to play through in a single day.  The story was not nearly as good either, but it was not bad.  A worthy sequel, at least, and definitely a classic.

So it was an enjoyable day for me, I liked the game and it was a very relaxing way to spend the day.  And I have been enjoying my Bota Box Nighthawk Black wine.

Before going to bed I also watched a couple more episodes of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt which is pretty good.

DuoLingo Streak: 56 Days

Saturday.

Today I discovered The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt which Dominica has watched previously and recommended to me.  It is a Netflix original series and created by Tina Fey who is always hysterical so I figured that it would be a good pick.  Which it was, I watched a bit of it and really enjoyed it.

Only a couple days left before I rejoin the family.  It’s been pretty lonely here in Dallas all by myself waiting for my flight to Qatar that never seems to be happening.

Friday.  The weather cooled down considerably this morning as a rain front came through Dallas.  We got a bit of rain early this afternoon.

Frustration is getting high as the Phoenix office is not only do absolutely zero work, they are actively stonewalling us who actually have work to do.  Things are definitely getting serious, and seriously bad.  Stress levels are much higher day by day.

Thursday.  Warm today, in the mid to high eighties.  But tomorrow is expected to drop to the mid fifties!

Ran to the store this morning for supplies.  We ran out of coffee when I went to make my first pot today.

Took care of the car registration today.

And that was my day.  Still working, still not getting paid.  Still quite frustrated.

Wednesday.  Got the Nissan Quest inspected today.  No issues there.

Tonight Dominica made a vegetarian meat pie thing that was pretty good.

I have been playing Secret Files: Tungusta and tonight the girls decided that they wanted to join me and watch some of the game.  They really liked it and asked me to start over so that they can play it with me.
