Most definitely, the award for Best $20 I’ve Spent Lately goes to Imperium Romanum. Yeah, not COD4 or the new Assassin’s Creed. It’s a bit embarrassing (yet secretly I’m proud) to be enjoying what must be a really nerdy, boring, administrative-type person’s game.
Like – you play a city planner. Yeah.
Words cannot describe how rapt I am with this new awesome snack, Cheesebuddy. Fantastically mediocre, these moreish cheese bun profiteroles are just amazing. It really is a warm doughy lump of nothing, the sort of mid-morning treat you’d give to a schoolchild when you can’t be bothered making anything more quality, but I sincerely feel my life is much better for having eaten it.
Shared a cordial platter with some of the old boys at work. Operation Cheesebuddy: SUCCESS.
If you’re curious about the mysteriously delicious blandness of Cheesebuddy, we got ours from Mercado IGA in Subiaco, $7.95 for a bag of $30.
There’s nothing I’d rather do tonight than do nothing.
I’m trying to slow down. I don’t mean this in an “omg life so busy, popular me” kind of way. I’ve realised in the last few years that I tend to worry a lot about things. Maybe ‘worry’ is the wrong word – ruminate, over-think, analyse, over-imagine. My parents used to not tell me until the very last minute that we were going on holidays, visiting my grandma, or doing anything exciting, because I would keep myself up at night, daydreaming and anticipating.
Not sure what you’d call that. Mum said I was a hyperactive child, so maybe it’s more in my biology than in my mind. But you know, since the mind is the hub of your experience, an over-zealous biology eventually begets a busy mind.
And like most busy minded people I know, I’m hesitant to slow down – hesitant to park a project in case that part of my brain atrophies and I become never able to pick that project up again – oh, curse you, paranoia.
I’m ready to be daring about it now – even prepared to dramatise it in text form as my way of summoning the demon by name and casting it out. You get the idea. ANYWAY…
Aside from writing this post, there’s nothing I’d rather do tonight than do nothing. And play Neverwinter. Maybe have a cheese plate before bed.
I love the zoo. We were treated to all sort of interesting sights yesterday. Within the neatly kept enclosures were loafing wild lions, busy otters, lazy gibbons and curious meerkats. On our side of the ropes, firsthand encounters with native fauna: a few Gawking Slackjaws, some Slow Walkers, the occasional posse of Great Whining Chubs and large herds of the Common Family with lively, screaming offspring in tow.
Ho ho, I am good. Sent off an application to join a roster of writers – and forgot to attach work samples. Clever, Sandy.
Just for fun, I thought I’d count my calories from yesterday. I meant to write this post up yesterday, but forgot, so this account is hazy at best.
