the times have been exceptionally good recently.

Here I am. Another week. Another dollar?
I feel different. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I find myself not, "sweating the small stuff" as much. Or should I say, things thought were "big deals," seem less so. Is that vague enough? Good. I shall make that my thought of the week, so let's move along.
Looking at my Five-Minute Journal entries, it seems like there's a lot less on my mind recently.
Stuff I thought about:
- variety in activities
- making an app again
- sleep, the never-ending struggle
Every week, as I'm writing this blog entry, I think to myself: I don't want to spend too much time here, let's do the "short-short" version of this blog thing. I have the same thoughts this week. I sometimes wonder why I'm so reluctant to spend time writing. I think I am just lazy.
Variety in activities
Sounds like a vague title, but I know exactly what this refers to. See, last week I was completely obsessed with a game called Kingdom: Two Crowns.
This week, I am completely obsessed with a different game: Oxygen Not Included.
I'm not even sure why, I bought the game on a whim during the Steam Summer Sale, and have almost played it every day since. It's a survival game and, I dare say, there's not much of a point, other than to see how long you can survive.
Or maybe there is a point, and I just haven't reached it yet.
Who knows.
But what I do know, is that over the course a weekend (of two days), I must have racked up close to 16-20 hours of gameplay. That might be amateurish for some, and nowhere near my peak-game-hours-in-a-day; but 20 hours over 2 days is not an insignificant amount of time.
Making an app again
There are a lot of things I want to do. Most things I don't follow through with though. One such item was: making a game or app. Needless to say, I've done neither of these things.
However, with some new-found resolve, I thought I'd give Game Maker another go. I started watching the tutorials to re-remember what I had learned previously.
What's funny is that I enjoy programming, and it's fair to say that I could make anything I wanted if I set my mind to it.
But then, I just don't.
And part of me says that's a problem. The first hump is just getting that first program out, right? At least, that's what I tell myself.
sleeping, thou art a bitch I can never get enough of
I've been sleeping in a lot lately... and when I say, "a lot", it means I've been sleeping in closer to 7 am than 6 am. I don't know why, but my bedtime has been getting later, even when I set myself the same evening routine.
Meh.
And this week, I shall end with my current Japanese Celebrity Crush: Sakurai Reika.
Oh. One last thing. I did tell myself that I'd write up about how the day of my birthday went, but.... meh. I'll do that later. Or not. Hah.
