calm

 evening is approaching, on what has been a very good shavuot. i got to bed late, after getting stuck into a complete restart of inscryption (my saved progress is on my other computer), but after a good night's sleep we spent the morning taking things easy. lots of reading, gaming, and being amazed by some game dev insanity with spu7nix on how he made "what" in geometry dash (mr smear actually finished the level after a whole lot of attempts, i'm quite impressed by his grit).

i was also inspired to design a word creation game that might not suck, so i'm now trying to wrap my head around its fundamentals.

gd made a huge, delicious brunch, and my afternoon was a mix of learning, doing the dishes and going out to shoot some hoops again. mr smear put up less of a fight than yesterday, and we had a good time again.

i must admit it's nice to play a physical ball game with my son for once.

yestersay i signed up (again!) for an audible trial because i wanted gd to try out the harry potter series (narrated by stephen fry), but those audiobooks aren't available in our region. pooh.

so i managed to acquire them from a different source, and she's been getting into the first book - for the very first time! - and she's beginning to understand just how much she's been missing all these years :)
