A Drive
I kinda went for a drive tonight. I mean it was for a purpose but somehow it felt like I was just driving around. It was nice. I felt calm and like I was out and exploring in the world. To be clear and transparent, I was driving to work to drop something off and then I went to the Wegman's. The most well worn of routes. But maybe the coffee I had, the remainder in the pot that had been sitting around since the early afternoon, at 8:45PM before I walked out the door colored the driving in a new way. I didn't explore. But driving felt nice. And the girl at the register was very nice. And I had the heat on high and the windows down. What a time, right? Is there enough writing about how good it can feel to be alive? It's a feeling of just being out in the world and and and looking at it and being like yeah. A single 'yeah' to all and to all a 'yeah' night.

In Case You've Been Wondering...

getting overly sentimental while eating a bowl of rice and vegetables because my mom gave me the corn and green beans a while ago and I made the last of them in this meal.

Card Design
Pictures will go in the box where it's obvious they will go. Other stuff will go where it's less obvious. These look so much better already than the first game i made.

Update on Swarm
Tuesday, October 10, 2017
Turns Out
lazy spider. doesn't it care about the views I'm after?! MY VIEWS!
Anyway, so I'm abandoning that for now and switching gears. My new plan is to make an EVEN NEWER adaptation of Boss Monster to play at my work that doesn't allow the original version.
My original adaptation was based around rooms at the school but it felt kinda clunky and lame and didn't have pictures. Pictures are important.
So I'm hoping this new version will be much more versatile and make more sense and have lots of great-good pictures in it.
I'll call it Swarm, which is likely already a game but oh well. You will play as the Queen of a colony of various insects that are uniting to defend themselves against predators.
Bugs r kool. There will be updates here so that I actually work on it. Tonight my plan is to come up with all of the insects I'll use and figure out how to adapt all the categories. The original Boss Monster has two types of rooms: monster and trap. And then four different treasure types: money, swords, crosses, and books (or whatever). I'm thinking I'll have two different insect types: hive and solitary. And then four broad types of insects like: flying, slithering, burrowing, and climbing (?). Something like that. We'll see. Suggestions are wanted and appreciated.

At this point
I'm just taking pictures out of curiosity. The joke is kinda played out and we don't need to get all existential about it. It's cool enough to just watch one leaf age dramatically from day to day.
