legalmooseAs I said to a friend today, there's only so much time I can spend in Animal Crossing. I enjoy the game, though sometimes the 'gotta check in daily' part gets old. I've scrapped all of the mobile games I had going, save a nonogram one I've been playing on my iPad mini for forever, and the NY Times crossword (mostly the minis, occasionally the big one if the mood strikes). I looked around in various game store today, and while there are a couple coming out that I've put on the Xmas wish list, there's really not a lot out there that's exciting me (that I don't already have). I find myself drawn to cuter, slower-paced things more than the drag-you-in-for-hundreds-of-hours mega-sagas.
So, quiet day today. I cleaned out some more things that had been tossed under a bathroom sink when we moved in, putting some out, tossing some that were dead or wouldn't be used. Made popcorn on the stove (1/2 cup oil, 1/3 cup corn, medium heat in a dutch oven with the lid slightly askew so it can vent [or cheat like I do and use a different lid that has venting holes]; shake it occasionally until it's done popping, toss it all in a bowl with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt [no more than 1/2 tsp; that's almost too much for me and I'm a salt-a-holic], enjoy). And played a lot of video games. The female cat would've preferred if I had read so she could have had my legs as a bed, but she curled up next to me anyway.
