May 17 – Might be quitting The Alchemist Code soon. It's double hard shard week AND there's vision quest pro and I can still barely be bothered to log in.

At this point it's more about maintaining/protecting my time investment than any actual enjoyment I'm getting from the game. Got all this without spending a cent: 5/5/4/5/5 Neun and 5/5/4/4/5 Sieba, both with mementos. 5/5/0 Levi, 2/5/2/2/5 Melodias, 2/5/0/0/0 King, 3/5/0/0/0 Merlinus, 5/0/0/0/0 D.Masa, and 193 otherworldly shards I haven't decided where to spend. 4/2/2/2/5 Orion (less than a week to his G1). MLB Emmel with 106 shards! Plus 31K gems and tons of elemental/rainbow shards and enlightened farmables and VCRs.

May 21 – Is everyone else just on their work email all the time?? I check my work email once or twice a day (and I resent the fact that it's creeping up my commonly used sites on my home screen). But whenever I email anyone else, they respond so quickly. Yesterday I emailed my boss at 7 pm and got a reply within the hour. yeesh the work day is over, people, shut your email

(if you're wondering "why were YOU sending an email at that hour" it's because I realized I forgot to check my email that day, and when I logged on, I found my boss had sent me a question about the Kinney project. oops)

May 22 – This pasta sauce is really upping the ante. Like, you can get parmesan & romano pasta sauce. You can also sometimes get four cheese pasta sauce. But now, check this out: SIX cheese pasta sauce.

Admittedly, you gotta expect diminishing returns at some point. Can I even distinguish that many flavors of cheese in a sauce? No. Absolutely not. (Now I'm imagining Gordon Ramsey's "taste it, now make it" challenge where everyone's frantically trying to decide what kind of cheese he put in the sauce, but joke's on them because he put in SIX cheeses.) But tonight's pasta was delicious, would get this sauce again.
