#oneaday Day 900: My cat has the right idea

My cat is presently asleep. She is sitting on the back of the sofa, happily napping while I type this. She has the right idea.

I am pretty tired. Despite there being a bank holiday this week, it feels like it's been a long and somewhat exhausting week. I can probably attribute that to feeling a bit unwell earlier in the week, but still. It will be a relief to reach the end of tomorrow intact and be able to enjoy the weekend.

I believe my wife Andie is having some friends over for a barbecue this weekend, but I can generally get away with just lurking and popping my head out when food is ready. I've got some videos I want to record this weekend — which may or may not include Evercade stuff if I'm feeling up to that on top of the weekly Atari stuff — and some games to play, plus of course the next part of the Atelier MegaFeature for MoeGamer.

I'm also attempting to set up a new installment of The Davison Cup to enjoy with my local friends. For a few years, this was my chosen method of celebrating my birthday, featuring a day-long tournament filled with games from over the ages. It's the main means I developed a strong fondness for a number of games I didn't expect to like as much as I do — most notably RealSports Soccer on the Atari 2600 and the arcade version of Canyon Bomber. Both of them are killer fun in multiplayer.

Getting people together is a bit of a pain these days, though, because several members of our group have children. With enough advance notice, we should be able to make it happen, though. After all, we got four out of the five of us together to play board games on Tuesday, so how hard can it be…?

Famous last words.
