Strong in Boston

What to say about the past few weeks? One of the marathon bombers was killed, the other captured alive after a manhunt that left the city shut down for the better part of a day. And I don't mind that. A bomber on the loose is dangerous indeed, maximizing the chances of catching the guy was worthwhile, even if it was very disruptive.

There's a lot going on in my household lately. I'm busy with wedding planning (though much of the work is done at this point). And figuring out what the housemate situation will be in July (DJ is moving out, though he'll still be in town). Work is busy. Workouts are intense. Things are stressful for a lot of people I know, it seems. Plus everyone's sick.

The weather is beautiful, though.

I've found time to play a few video games which are all pretty good and couldn't be more different from one another:
Dishonored (a steampunk-horror stealth-combat game about assassination, revenge, and the price of power, featuring a bit of a twist on the usual deal-with-the-devil trope)
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (a JRPG, Level-5's charming collab with Studio Ghibli)
don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story (a VN about fiction, meta-fiction, identity crises, high school literature class, and social networks)

May is looking like it's going to be as crazy as March.

This weekend, I'm going to Florida for Julie's sister's baby shower. Looking forward to that!
