But when you touch me like this and you hold me like that

yawn. Good morning all you party people. Yep, it’s Sunday. We’re in the belly of the weekend. According to my weather app, it’s supposed to start snowing at any time here. The forecast says we’re supposed to be getting around 14-15cm of snow over the course of the day.

We play by different rules, north of the wall.

Yay. Snow.

Yesterday was a pretty good day, if you ask me. We got up, and had a damn good cup of coffee (or two), and we watch some Dateline. Crystal put her makeup on, then we took off to SlightlyBiggerTown. Crystal picked up some new comfies, and a really cute Easter bunny headband, gloves, and a tail. We grabbed some snacks, and moved on to the groceries.

We stuck to the list, which I pulled out (are we still not doing phrasing?) at the end, to find that we were right on. I paid, and we were on our way. We stopped at the weed store, and looked around. Crystal found an ounce that looked cool, and picked that up.

When we got home, we put the groceries away, and I turned on BotW. I had psyched myself up to do something crazy. After trying to upgrade, and getting a good nights sleep in Goron City, I travelled to Zora’s Domain, and (for me,) did the unthinkable. I started a Divine Beast quest.

To get in was crazy. I blocked as many ice chunks as I could, and destroyed the rest. After what felt like 20 minutes, I finally fought my way inside. That’s when the actual fun started. Puzzle time!

I will admit, that Crystal is the puzzle master, so she helped a lot. I wouldn’t have been able to finish the area without her. (She fought the beast after dinner) So hell she effectively did the zone twice. Once with me – giving me hints and a lot of help, and once on her account.

One down, three more to go. Still just as nervous! Even though I have one under my belt. We’ll see what I do next!

Welp, after writing the morning post, and after starting the chores, I fired up YouTube to find a video on the beginning of the Divine Brest that flies over Rita village – Val Medoh. I gathered some supplies that I thought I might need, then warped over to the village.

I had a test before I could start the beast. It wasn’t that hard and I got it on the first attempt. Usually I hate timed events, and I can never complete it on the first attempt. But nevertheless, I got it!

I think I only missed a couple of times. A few minutes later, I was standing on the deck of the beast, ready to tackle the puzzles. Let me tell you, these puzzles were a lot harder. With Crystal’s help, I managed to get them all in about an hour or so.

Then it was on to the Windblight Ganon fight. He was a little trickster, lemme tell you. He managed to hit me a few times, only because unlike the last fight, he moved around a lot more, and was pretty much a sneaky fucking Russian. So it took a little longer, but I managed to knock him down pretty quickly.

Thank god, for bomb arrows. I went in with about a 100, and I think I left with 65-70. I’m not too sure. But they’ve helped me twice now.
