The Diablo campaign advances well. Act II is behind me and the end of Act III is within reach, which is more ground than I expected to cover. I broke my usual rule against pre-ordering and put in for Ace Combat 8; the remade Ace Combat Zero came bundled with it, and since the game was already spoken for in my mind, the reservation cost me nothing but a principle I hold loosely. On Sereno I added proper spend tracking, a small feature but one I have wanted for a while. In the kitchen I set out two jugs of watermelon agua fresca and tried something new, a little lemon juice and a pinch of salt against the sweetness. It came out well enough to make again, which is all one asks of an experiment.
