July 7, 2013

A classic, lazy Sunday. I caught up on YouTube videos, watched a little TV, burned some DVDs, and played Cube World. I have discovered five biomes and am up to seven or eight pets. Until they add in being able to build a house, my main goal for the game is to get a whole bunch of pets. I just wish I could have more than one out at a time so I could just adventure around with a gang of animals. Tonight I finally got an alpaca, the pet I have wanted from the beginning because they look awesome. And I named him Notallama. I just found an ocean biome and I have the food to tame a Leaf Runner, which kind of looks like an ostrich if instead of a long neck, the head was stuck right on the front of the body. But my next goal is to tame a turtle. That probably would have been my favorite before the alpaca but I saw the alpaca first. To tame a turtle, however, I need a cinnamon roll, which I have not come across yet. Eventually.

The power blinked out tonight while I was playing, right after I collected the food I needed to tame the alpaca and almost immediately after I tamed a bat, and I tensed up for a second, afraid that I lost all that stuff. A bad thing considering that the food only drops randomly and rarely. But I guess the game saves automatically as you go because when I turned my computer back on and got back in the game I was within a few feet of where I had been when my computer shut off. Amazing.

I made a food from Pinterest today. That is probably a pretty rare statement. At least I am assuming. Anyway, it wasn't much of a food, just baked cauliflower, but I still made it. It was supposed to be a substitute for microwave popcorn, something I don't eat because it is a bit much and I prefer entirely plain, air pop popcorn, but I wanted to give it a try. I changed up the recipe but it ended up working out. I cut up a bunch of cauliflower and threw it in a bag with some olive oil, tumeric, paprika, lemon pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Then I tossed it all around, poured it onto a baking sheet, and put it in the oven for about thirty minutes at 425 degrees. It really did come anywhere close to being like popcorn but it did remind me a lot of tater tots. Like a lot. And it was good. I might make some more tomorrow. Maybe.

Due to catching up on my YouTube videos, tonight I watched other stuff. I started with a TV show, Vexed, a British buddy cop type of show. I originally wanted to watch it because it had Lucy Punch and she was hilarious in Ben And Kate (which got canceled and that sucks). But the first season is on three episodes and Lucy Punch did not return in the second season. So that is weird but the first three episodes were pretty good. She plays more of the straight-laced cop going through some marital issues. And her new partner is a cop who plays by his own rules and doesn't really care what people think. Not the first time that dynamic has been used but I liked it. I'm going to have to check out the second season and see how the new girl is. After that I moved onto a couple movies. First, Revenge For Jolly, a movie about a man and his cousin who go on a vengeful killing spree after his dog is killed. It is a dark comedy and it was decent. There wasn't much of an ending and that kind of sucked but I enjoyed the comedy. Second, Going The Distance, a straight-up comedy after the dark stuff. I'm a fan of the movie and it didn't fail to make me laugh. I ended the night with a couple episodes from the first season of New Girl. Great show. Schmidt is my favorite character, closely followed by Nick (played by Jake Johnson, who looks like he could be the brother of Oscar Isaac, who played the cousin in Revenge For Polly, and the resemblance is a little freaky).


I am going to finish the episode I'm on and then go to bed. I am looking forward to school starting again so I can get back to that schedule. It sucks only getting about seven hours of sleep a night but I kind of like going to bed early and getting up early.
