After being out of town for 3 weekends in a row, I was relieved to be home for Labor Day – a welcomed break for me to finally get some work done. After cooking up a big pot of Spam soup, I spent most of the weekend indoors. By the end of the 3-day weekend, I had completed a book chapter, a case report manuscript, 3 weeks of laundry, and the critically-acclaimed indie game Gone Home, which I played from start to finish in just two sittings. The interactive story-telling game was reminiscent of classic games from the 90’s like Myst and the 7th Guest, and featured magnificent voice-acting and period details transporting the player back to … incidentally … the 90’s. I also made better use of our swimming pool as well as my living room TV, which had been gathering dust since I bought the thing last fall. I fired up the PS3, logged onto Netflix, and added several new TV shows to watch including Arrested Development and Continuum, a Canadian science fiction series that successfully combines the best elements of sci-fi cult classics – dystopian future, time travel, and beautiful women in skin tight body suits. A weekend that is both productive and relaxing is just so satisfying.
