The weekend is for coming back from being away and dealing with the bag of lettuce you left in the crisper all week. Blugh. Also, video games.

The weekend is for binge-watching BoJack Horseman, but since I have a Switch, I can play games while I do it!

Here’s a fun fact about me: I was born without a sense of smell. Here’s a fun fact I learned today: people like to smell their physical video games. Help me square these two facts, readers.

The weekend is for trying to decide if I should get someone to water my plant while I’m away or just water it a lot before I leave and hope for the best. It’s also for playing video games.

The weekend is for having a three-day weekend, the established Correct Amount of Weekend. That’s enough time to do lots of things and also play video games.

It’s been a hell of a week, readers, but we’ve made it to the weekend. I have very big plans of doing nothing but running in the very nice weather, cooking (hopefully) tasty food out of the host of cookbooks I’ve bought recently, and playing a lot of video games.

The weekend is for finally making that pasta dish you spent all week planning to make but then kept ordering delicious takeout instead. Also, video games.

The weekend is for needing to run four more miles by Sunday to meet the goal my running app set for me, because arbitrary goals are very satisfying. Also, video games.

The weekend is for going to the botanical garden near my house to admire all the cool plants I would probably kill if I owned them. Also, video games.

My young niece is visiting this weekend, and I’m really excited to introduce her to a ton of cool games she can then annoy her mom by asking for. What should they be?

The weekend is for trying to make my apartment look super cool so my niece is really impressed when she and my sister come to visit next week. It’s also for playing video games.

The weekend is for making the heck out of this slow cooker peach cobbler from our excellent sister site The Takeout. Using the slow cooker means you can bake and play video games at the same time!

The weekend is for getting sick just as the weather stops being too hot to go outside. What the hell? Guess I’ll stay inside with some video games.

The weekend is for it being too hot to avoid turning the air conditioner on but feeling a little guilty about it. Also, video games.

The weekend is for actually cleaning the house this time, not like last weekend when you said you would and then just lay on the couch thinking, “Boy, this house is a mess!” It’s also for playing video games.

The weekend is for doing all those things you didn’t have time to do during E3, like sleeping, cleaning the house, and calling your family. It’s also for playing some video games instead of hearing about ones you can’t play yet.

The weekend is for press conferences about video games. But it’s also time to play some games too.

The weekend is for having just started running! The coolest thing I’ve realized about running so far is that since you’re constantly moving, no one can see what a bad job you’re doing for very long. The people on the next block probably think I’ve been running for miles! When I’m not worrying about how I look in…

Hey y’all! Riley’s probably off playing The Witcher 3 somewhere already, so I’m taking over for him. Happy three day weekend!

The weekend is for trying to figure out what to do with the kale I bought to make kale smoothies with before learning that kale smoothies are disgusting. Also, video games.
