I was busy today doing things around the house, and wanted to spend Valentines Day evening with my girlfriend, so I have but a short, simple post for you on this Sunday.
Today, I...
Played Stardew Valley with breakfast
Just a small bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats and a glass of water. Today was my first time playing Stardew Valley since the new 1.5 update hit consoles this week. Willy's new boat looks cool, looking forward to repairing it.
My dinosaur laid an egg, and I made it into Dinosaur Mayonnaise so I can one day turn the old supermarket into a movie theater. What a sentence.
Showered
Today's shower podcast was Threedom, a podcast where comedians Paul F. Tompkins, Lauren Lapkus, and Scott Aukerman talk to each other. Highly recommended.
Exchanged Valentine's Day gifts with my girlfriend
My Valentine's gift to her - an original 17-piece Magic Bullet set, complete with a photo of Mick and Mimi from our favorite infomercial on the box - has not arrived yet. USPS is still having a rough go of it.
Her Valentine's gift to me - a framed gouache painting of a banana she made - is outstanding, and will now hang in our bathroom forever.
Ate lunch
A leftover panini and waffle fries from our local diner. The waffle fries were way too crispy this time. Panini was good, though.
Tried a new flavor of Twix
My sister made a bodega trip to grab water bottles for the movers she has coming, and picked up the new cookies & cream Twix she's been getting Instagram ads for.
It is not as good as it looks. Too sweet, and not enough flavor.
Dusted with our new vacuum
Yesterday, I installed our new Dyson vacuum - my sister is taking the old one with her - and I love it. These folks make a good vacuum. I am obsessively vacuuming everything.
It's so big and so nice
Opened and installed our new TV
My sister is taking her old TV with her in the move, so I finally had a reason to upgrade. I very publicly hated that TV because it was tiny, shitty, and only 1366x768 in resolution.
What the hell kind of resolution is that.
The new TV is 40" and 1080p, thank you very much.
No, I did not look at 4K TVs, no one needs a 4K TV.
This one is beautiful, and everything looks extremely good on it.
Packed my sister's TV
Right in the new TV box, along with the old stand, remote, and some picture frames.
Continued playing Bowser's Fury, which is really quite good
Super Mario 3D World, possibly the best Mario game of all time, finally came to the Switch this week, along with a new expansion titled "Bowser's Fury."
It's sort of an open-ish-world cross between 3D World and Super Mario Odyssey.
It's extremely good.
Ordered fancy dinner from a nice local Italian restaurant
Gnocchi Pomodoro - with their housemade tomato sauce - for myself.
Gnocchi Bolognese for my girlfriend.
And 3 of their incredible Chocolate Lava Cakes.
Got the wrong thing, but ate it anyway
Instead of Gnocchi Pomodoro, they sent me gnocchi in vodka sauce.
I am not a huge fan of cream sauces.
This was in addition to being delivered 25 minutes late because it's Valentine's Day and I'm sure they were slammed.
All things considered, it wasn't bad.
Ate chocolate lava cake together
This made up for any and all wrongs.
Just sublime.
Nintendo, ya done it again
Played Super Mario 3D World with my girlfriend
She's never played before.
I played through on WiiU.
We started a new co-op file together.
It's extremely fun.

It's nothing much, but it's another post in the can.
