Today I was back at work (from home) before another two days off for Thanksgiving break. but the big news was that Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was released on smartphones! My whole family is into it and we were up late playing. I’ve loved the Animal Crossing (どうぶつの森) series and have played each version, starting with the GameCube version. It’s so fun!
If you are playing and want to be friends, here’s my code:
Happy camping!
またね～

Today we decided to barbeque some burgers for dinner, so I fired up the charcoal grill (for maximum flavor) and made some good-sized patties using both ground chuck and ground pork. They were tasty and still pretty juicy, which surprised me a bit since the pork tends to be on the dry side. Toppings were pickles, jalapeños, cheese, Romaine lettuce, onion, tomato, and the usual condiments (plus habañero sauce). Was a yummy and filling dinner!
The photo below shows the grocery haul in the back of the Subaru. You can see the roasting pan for the turkey. Thanksgiving is just around the corner here in the States!
I hope you had a nice day.

Sure, Animal Crossing – Pocket Camp was released today, but I am more excited about the huge update coming in two days for Splatoon 2! Looks great! And do I need to talk to guests at Thanksgiving, or can I camp in front of the TV?

First day of my staycation, and we went to see “Murder on the Orient Express” at the Alamo Drafthouse. It’s always fun to see a movie there because they show the funniest stuff on the screen before the movie starts. For this movie, there were some choice clips of old Agatha Christie-related shows and movies. In the photo above is a Japanese anime. It looked pretty cool, actually!
The actual movie was just okay. It started off great, but kind of bogged-down and I didn’t like the overall tone. The first part (in Israel) was clever, funny, and had a quick pace, and I was looking forward to the whole movie being like that. But the main story was overly dramatic and humorless. It was a shame because the cast was stellar, the cinematography was beautiful, and it is a classic story. Oh well…
I hope you had a nice day!

Today we were planning on going camping, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to cancel. But, nothing to be worried about! Everything’s good. 😀
The most notable thing we did was to buy a new TV. 📺 As you can see in the photo above, it was a tight fit in the new car, but we managed to squeeze it in! The new TV is a lot bigger than our old one and we are enjoying the new technology which makes the picture so much more vibrant and sharp. To take advantage of this, we rented a couple movies to watch, including Cars 3 which I had never seen before. It was great to see it on a huge screen with the surround sound system cranked up. Ka-chow! 😆
I hope you had a nice Sunday!
