Journal July 25, 2015
Woke up later than usual; wanted to forget about obsessing over my posture lying down. Mom and Mitch woke up earlier than I did and were making rice. At least I didn’t have to put more effort into making breakfast like I’ve been doing recently. I had a problem with my right contact and it upset me because I knew I’d have to replace it, yet my current amount of right contacts is fewer than my left contacts, and so far I’ve been trying to use the left contacts more than the right ones. Went downstairs to eat breakfast; ate soft tofu with garnish on it; very delicious; reminded me a lot of the tofu people tend to eat after they get in trouble with the law.
Mom and Mitch later left to do whatever they tend to do when staying in the house was really boring, leaving me to the house all alone. I spent the rest of the day watching the Korean drama “Secret Garden”. It’s a drama I started yesterday and continued a lot of it today. I was trying to get through it as fast as possible, if only to see how the two main characters would switch souls with each other; that was the main conceit of the show. So far, they have reverted back to their normal selves, so I am now wondering if they’ll switch souls again, or if that was all the switching they were going to be doing.
All the while, I’ve been thinking of how to make my game, “Escape From Castle Merlock!”. I’ve thought of most of the significant characters, how the story will flow, and the theme of the player either embracing his identity, rejecting it, or making peace with it. I’m primarily nervous about how to implement my design decisions, but I know I haven’t truly hammered out my design decisions thoroughly and as specifically as possible yet, so I will have to do that too.
After a rousing dinner of Mabo Tofu, I slowly started to become very guilty of my health and how I haven’t taken care of it in the last few weeks, so I finally decided to do some running. Unfortunately, my lack of exercise caught up with me, and I had to walk more than I did run. Thankfully, the exercise paid off, and I’m currently feeling very refreshed both hygienically and physically as I’m writing this journal. Speaking of which, I have to get some more water, but then I’d have to put socks on again...I don’t know why I’ve gotten more sensitive about the floor underneath my feet; I guess I’ve gotten more sensitive to the dirty feeling in general.
And with that, I’m off to get some water. Toodles!
