It feels nice, doesn't it?  To work, and to play.  Certainly, it feels better than either of the two on their own...

I've been working on Rhythm Quest some more, which of course, always makes me feel good, regardless of if anything exciting is happening with it.  I'm deep in the trenches of some experimental performance optimizations, alongside more level charting, bugfixes, and trying to make sure that I get the level editor functional again.  At some point I need to actually get on the task of revamping the graphics for the first half of the game...I keep on saying it, maybe someday it'll actually be time?

I got a nice confidence boost in ALTTPR as I finished running 4 of the final seeds from this year's mentor tournament and managed to beat the mentees in all four of them.  I actually wasn't quite expecting that; you know, there's always an element of luck that can outweigh everything else, but it's kind of cool seeing efficiency, execution, and good practices actually result in consistent time savings.  Feels good!

Working here and there on these voter letters and postcards has felt good, too.  Doing these has been one of the most relevant and lasting changes in my life that came out of all of the..."interesting" stuff that happened in the past handful of years.  Not sure if I've ever felt as invested in an election that doesn't really directly affect me.  Part of me just wants to see results from something that I've contributed to.  It's not a bad feeling, though.

I keep telling you that I love you.  Sometimes I'm not really sure whether you know it in your heart or not.  But maybe it doesn't matter.  I just want you to stay in my life.  You want to stay too, right?

As much as I keep on talking about how I want to get better at cooking, I have some misses here and there too, like today's lunch.  Well, we aren't always on our A game all the time, right?  Tomorrow I'm tasking myself with doing some groceries, but this weekend I'll be hoping to really put on my best metaphorical apron and put some extra effort into things.  Hopefully I'll be able to feel good about it.
