well, i think katie yelled at me last night for not writing in this, although it could be a dream. so perhaps i will try to get back on the camel, or elephant, horse? yeah, horse, jesus that was dumb of me.
Anyway, first, I will begin writing what i know. And all i know right now is Tetris.
I've fallen hard for classic gaming recently, largely due to the NES emulator i loaded on to my gameboy. Tetris and Bubble Bobble have been huge. Tetris perhaps the hugest. The game just has a sick addictive quality to it, one that i'm sure noone is stranger to.
Anyway, i'm very good at Tetris. And each time i've played in the past few days, i'm doing better. Aside from the fact that the speed jump from level 15 to 16 is, like, really big, the biggest problem i'm running into is negotiating on what point of the tricky risk/reward curve maximum awesomeness lies. For instance, playing a straight go-only-for-tetrises game, while ending early quite often, has in the past couple days gotten me a score of over 160,000 with only 110 lines or so. However, take the game i just played, i played more conservatively, clearing lines however i could if the stack got too high and in the endgame almost going strictly for maintaining a row height of 5 or less. Anyway, with this play mode, my score was only 130k something, but i got 172 lines. What needs to be found where the "get a lot of lines" curve intersects with the "get high score" curve. and at that point, either my supply and demand will be at an equillibrium and there will be no diminishing returns. Given of course, fairly liberal economic restrictions as well as a bull market.
here is a visual:
yeah. Also, the music is very important. I'm a song 3 guy, it's so soothing.
Our kitchen faucet is now rocking a PUR water filter. The water filter is just one part of my million dollar project to save money by making my own coffee. Well, saving money has no part of it really, i just thing it'd be cool. Plus, it means more toys, like my super rad thermos that will keep coffee hot for a couple days and a new digital coffee maker. All enroute. The coffee and water filter are here though. Here, and ready to go.
I'm tired. I forgot to eat because i was doing fun visual basic things and playing tetris. I don't feel like eating, because almost everything requires preparation. I think i will make tomorrow's sandwich and eat some cold cuts.
also, OMFG. the shaw's at the prudential center closed, and a Shaw's in the City opened like right nearby, next to the Lord and Taylor. Now, I have some bizarre liking of supermarkets, they're just so goddam fun. So perhaps i'm a bit biased here, but the shaw's in the city was the coolest freaking place in the world. It was like tomorrowland in Disneyworld, except it wasn't a shitty section of a theme park that made you painfully aware that it was last renovated in the 70s, and it had nothing todo with the future. Maybe it was more like fantasyland, but without the pirates of carribbean. Although there was a kickass seafood section. Anyway, it was majestic.
ok, that will do it. I will now finish ripping the pernice bros. album and then get to bed and uhh sleep till tomorrow.
