Weekly review: Week ending May 22, 2015
Posted: - Modified: | review, weekly
Almost 26 hours of playing video games this week – Ni No Kuni is such an engaging option for my fuzzy brain. Some thoughts and conversations, though, so I didn't vegetate the entire time. =)
Planning to take it easy over the next couple of weeks: games, drawing, writing, some code…
