Weekly diary, July 28, 2019
Jul. 28th, 2019 08:27 pmIt's user conference time at work, commencing with optional excursions today. I volunteered to help "host" one (which means helping keep track of everyone, taking some pictures for the end-of-conference slideshow, and otherwise just enjoying the tour) going to the Oregon coast. It was all very nice and picturesque but various delays meant we got back over an hour later than planned and I wound up having dinner at 7:30.
Meanwhile, what passes for excitement in my neighborhood is that our street got paved this week.

Mouse, one of the resident cats of Camp 18.
The official sendoff and setting of the anime lineup included obligatory thoughts about KyoAni. The death toll is up to 35 people as of yesterday.
Made some headway in The Wealth of Nations.
Eggsy is now up to 4 chains but that's partly because there was a small field and two newbies this week.
Made it through several chapters of Fire Emblem Awakening. "Hard" mode is... feeling not that hard. Though that's partly because it needs a lot less level grinding outside of combat.
The second of the two play-by-post games I started simultaneously finally finished. No more until the online convention in August.
