Ever feel like playing some video games? Yesterday I declared it a video game day, and played video games or did other related activities for almost 12 hours without a break.
First I played "Animal Crossing, City Folk" for a couple of hours.
Then "Elderscrolls V: Skyrim" for 3+ hours.
Then "Professor Layton and the Unwound Future" for 2-3 hours until I finished it. Then went on Amazon and ordered "Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask".
Each of these video games is very different from the others, so it was impossible to get bored.
Somehow in the middle of all of this I managed to find the time to listen to a Youtube showing someone's first 70 minutes of game play of the brand new just-released Japanese version of "Animal Crossing, New Leaf", which will not be released in the US until next year. Fascinating! I watched the 70 minute video straight through and watched parts of it a second time. I can hardly wait to see and play the English version. Meanwhile, watching this video I just wished I understood more Japanese.
All of this was after F dropped me off at my house at 3:30, following our usual trip to the gym and restaurant lunch together.
What a perfect day. One aspect of retirement that I truly enjoy is that often one can do what one happens to want to do on a given day, to one's heart's content, finally.
P.S. - - playing video games is a truly relaxing post-election break for those of us who were worrying too much about the future of our country!
