We came in first place in pub trivia this week, in part because I recognised the name of that pole vault guy who whacked his junk on the bar. #valedictorian #stillgotit

Things bringing me joy today: Tim Walz and everything I learn about him 🇺🇸 , and our new Oodies. (Mine has the Ep 4 crawl on the back; Rodd is disappointed his didn’t come with Homer’s reaching broom. 😂 )
“What in the world,” I wondered as I perused the pub menu, “is an IRISH SPICE BAG?!” Of course I had to order it. Chicken strips, fries, fried onions and capsicum, curry sauce, and chili. LOTS OF CHILI. By the end of it, I think I was hallucinating. “Pretty sure YOU’RE the Irish Spice Bag now!” he laughed. 😂😅🌶️
Blog post: video games I’ve enjoyed recently on the Switch! 🎮
Actually tempted to buy and wear a camo hat for the first time in my entire life as a Hoosier. 😍
Achievement unlocked: parallel parking a moving van in front of a pair of builders. 😎🏆

Video games I loved recently…
I’ve been on a real gaming tear this year. Back in January I wrote about Dave the Diver and Unpacking, and I thought I’d mention a few more Nintendo Switch games that I’ve been playing lately and really enjoyed:
- Yoku’s Island Express – Rodd found this one recommended on Reddit for people who like no-stress platformers. You play a little bug postman who pushes a ball around an island, and it’s like a platformer crossed with pinball, two things I LOVE. The artwork and world building is really cool too.
- Steamworld Dig 2 – Another fun platformer where you play a little robot exploring a (mostly) underground world, digging minerals and trying to solve a mystery. There were one or two places were I got stuck and had to look up how to solve something, but I managed to defeat the end boss today all on my own. Good times!
- Palia – Anybody else playing this? I literally just rolled a character tonight. I’ve heard good things about it…
We also spent some time playing Breath of the Wild (a friend lent it to me) and I can see why it won so many awards. It just wasn’t for me, though. I struggled with all the different mechanics, and every time I picked it up I had to relearn how to do everything. There was just too much. I like something a bit more casual and low stress. If you’ve got recommendations, please share them!

Going to Europe next month = another Covid booster! After all, Oktoberfest is where we caught it back in 2022. 😷🍻 (Note to fellow NSW residents: official guidance is 1 shot per year, but overseas travel counts as a reason to get one sooner.)

Two #renovation victories today: the TV is officially on the wall! And the bathtub is long enough for me (a tall person) to stretch out my legs! 😍
We cashed in some free movie tickets to see Deadpool and Wolverine. Ehhh, it was okay. 🍿

Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
