Today had inevitably strong weekend vibes given the Labor Day holiday tomorrow. I still had end-of-month things to fuss over and other work tasks that required my attention, so it was still a full day.
I filed leave for Friday so that I can accompany Tobie for this month's Komiket event this weekend at Market! Market! Plus it's rare that I get to push for longer weekends like this, so I might as well. Tobie still has an online RPG session to run through today and we'll stay up to play a game or two before bed. Then tomorrow will be another game day as we're expecting a friend to come over to play again. Hooray for more gaming at the new Sietch!
Random update - I'm listening to the audiobook version of Contact as I write this blog post. The movie made a big impact on me as a kid, and I also read the novel around the same time the movie came out. But it has been years since I last revisited the text, so going through it as an audio experience is a nice way to make something I've already read feel like something new. It starts a little slow, but once the signal from Vega finally comes through, the pacing really starts to pick up.
And in sad news, another of my sister's dogs has died. Mikey was one of the older ones and had joined the family around the same time as Bruno, who had passed the other year. At the very least, the two of them are finally reunited. And it feels like Yoshi wants to play with them too as Tobie had some Yoshi-related Memories appear on his Facebook feed around the same time we heard about Mikey's passing.
