A nice quiet weekend — although I did get some stuff actually done, too. I prepped a couple of articles for Retrounite, which will save me some time in the week, and I did some testing on the thing I'm not allowed to talk about at the moment which was fun. I also played a lot of Quake and beat Flea! on the Indie Heroes collection for Evercade in a single sitting without using save states like a pussy.
I call that a successful weekend, really. Actually looking forward to getting some work done in the week, and getting back to the gym and swimming routine. May actually have an opportunity to see some local friends tomorrow evening for once if they don't come up with some last-minute excuse like they normally do. It's usually family-related. I have to say, even if both Andie and I weren't already so vehemently against having kids, I think my local friends' seemingly constant misery at being parents would be enough to put us both off.
Yes, yes, yes, I'm sure all the "ups" make all the "downs" eminently worth it, but I feel kind of bad for them, given that there seem to be a lot more "downs" than "ups". Or perhaps they just don't talk about the "ups". I don't know. Either way, they've only made my resolve not to procreate even stronger. Not that I needed much convincing, anyway; I would be a dreadful parent, and our house would be awful for a child. So there's that.
Well that, sure wandered off the point, didn't it? Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Tempted to watch some HoloEN Council debuts this evening, but will probably save it for tomorrow so I can write about them while watching. Maybe an ice-cream before bed. Ah, the childless life at 40… aside from the aches and pains, it's all right sometimes.
