Best finish that story before you get to your in-laws' place! You don't want to be sitting there, dreaming about your New Year's Eve party.
They don't know I write, but I fully plan on writing mornings in the hotel. I get up earlier than my wife; mornings are my prime writing time anyway.

Ooh, or better yet, a drinking contest, followed by a spinning contest.
Sounds like where I grew up.
So… Lobster’s on the menu. Market price, no doubt.
I'm sure the Goblin Party in Baldur's Gate 3 has some good ideas. Tormenting a poor bard! Chicken races (the chicken is an owlbear)! Roast dwarf! An immensely hot purple-skinned drow with a smokey, sexy voice rewards you for abandoning all primitive notions of morality by riding your face until you see stars! There's a sexy BDSM priest who uses a frickin' hatchet instead of like a flogger or whatever!
I'm about a third of the way through the audiobook of the first novel in the series. Moderately amusing, like you say - it feels like someone playing a PC adventure game - but the main character is *very* unlikable. Edging into Mary-Sue territory. I'm going to keep listening, to find out whether that's intentional. (I get the impression that the narrator doesn't like him either.)
Actually, with the introduction of the valknut, now I'm starting to wonder whether it's the author who's a xenophobe. By itself it could be innocent, given the possible connections to Odin, but combined with one or two other lines it's starting to make me feel a bit icky.
Now you're making me feel guilty.
At least it's the weekend!
Weekend *and* guilt, a twofer!
If solve means to make it go away, I sincerely hope no one is trying to solve weekends.
That’s a good problem to have. So, are you feeling guilty for spending time here?
