Pigeons? Sure, why not.
Recently started playing Hatoful Boyfriend again. Did part of it several months ago, but never really got around to playing more. Basically, it's a game were you date pigeons (No, seriously) and it's the very definition of "better than it sounds". This is partly because it's pretty clever, partly because it has great replay value, and partly because it does have a plot beyond the whole "let's date birds" gimmick (but I won't get into details because I wouldn't want to spoil anything). I really do recommend it; it might well be the best five bucks I've ever spent, and I'm definitely going to be getting the sequel game Holiday Star when I'm finished this one.
I've finished the main routes, but I haven't gotten around to starting the Big Final Route yet. From the sound of it, it's a lot longer than the regular routes, so I decided I'm definitely better off leaving it to the weekend. I might get up early on Saturday and try to complete it then, because I would love to do it all in one go.
Kind of itching to take a look at fanart and whatnot, but I'm definitely going to sit on my hands with this one until I'm finished both this game and the sequel, because I know that if I go looking for fannish things then I'll probably end up spoiled, and it's so much better when you go into it blind. OH WELL.
I kind of think that this might be a series that I wouldn't mind writing fic for, but we'll have to see. Sure, it's a little bit weird, but then again personified countries are weird too. If I did write something, it'd probably involve Nageki somehow - he's my favourite. And it'd probably be gen (with or without plot) because even though part of the premise is dating pigeons, I don't really have any pairings that really strike me much. (Well, there is one, but -- it would never work. ... Why do I always end up shipping crack?!)
Anyway. I hope that this weekend will be nice and relaxing. That talk I had with Aino last week (was it last week?) made me realize that I really do worry too much about constantly being occupied, like - if I'm not constantly doing something, then that is a problem that needs to be fixed. I understand where this issue comes from; there was a period of time back when I was sick that I had a tendency to spend hours and hours doing nothing but staring at the wall if I did not have anything that I absolutely needed to do. I think this excessive focus on doing all the things all the time might be a result of going overboard in an effort to correct that behaviour. Or at least partly. So this weekend I'm going to try not to push myself too much and not put so much effort into having fun. As long as the chores gets done, it's all good.
Next Friday I'll be heading down to Edmonton to get that sinus augmentation surgery. I know it'll be fine, but I'm a little nervous. (Though... more nervous about whether or not the insurance coverage will go through okay, I suppose. The procedure'll leave me feeling sore, but my wallet will be even more sore, even with part of it covered.)
