So let’s see, what’s happened in the past few months. Lots of things and very little.
One day I went to start the blue car to go to work, it refused. We took it to the shop and the immediately-necessary and soon-to-be-necessary repairs to keep it on the road amounted to a value much higher than we felt the car was worth.
After a little bit of financial rejiggering and test driving we swapped it and a moderately large sum of currency for a new-to-us minivan. We like it, it is a nice vehicle that we paid a fair price for which seems an odd feeling to come away from a used car dealership with.
Harvey is fucking awesome, which is not a new thing, but which I feel it is necessary to restate on occasion. You’ll forgive me for repeating the obvious, I hope. He’s, jeez, well past two-and-a-half now and is getting quite deep into little boy territory (as opposed to toddler-land). He has mattered the intricacies of the iPod Touch, would much rather spend all day outside, and recently had his second haircut ever which went over swimmingly well and resulted in possibly my favorite-ever picture of him (though there are absolutely some rivals).
Really, favoritest (and even top x favorites) is not a quantification I’m able to readily assign to much of anything. There is no way I could identify my five top anything at all, despite my love for the desert island game. I make no claims of consistency.
I have released my first iPod Touch/iPhone game, called EeeAhOh” in honour of Harvey’s earliest demands to play it. I have sold over 3x as many copies as I expected to, which means the beer I can notionally purchase would be a rather nice import in a very nice bar, or almost a case of Laker.
I have several other game ideas that are burbling about, and am actively poking and prodding at two ideas. One a primarily combat focused RPG that I’ve been thinking about for a while (earlier discussions here of Fracas are relevant) the other being something like a light-gun type carnival style shooter.
