Firmly grasping my alarm clock in one hand, I open my eyes. The alarm clock never rang, because I shut it off before it ever had the chance, then I stayed in bed for twenty two more minutes thinking about how I should get up. I thought that I should get up, and then go take a walk, because that’s how a great day should start. Now, twenty two minutes later, I’m sitting by the computer after a quick breakfast and no walk. Outside the clouds have the sky covered, the moon is still up there somewhere behind them, yet the street lamps and the white snow make the world brighter than it needs to be. I don’t feel like walking, I feel like writing, I feel like writing a book. So why resist the urge? It’s typing time.

Woke up late as usual, but the sun was shining today so I ventured outside for a midday walk. There’s a bird tower by the lake, and I was on my way there plowing through a thick layer of snow when I found a little creek in my way. The ice was visible and didn’t really seem thick enough to carry me, but I thought I’d test it a bit and so I stepped out on what I thought was the edge to feel the ice with one foot. Turns out it wasn’t the edge though, and I plummeted straight through with water up to my waist, my feet on a bottom ledge. I quickly crept up backwards and jogged home, took a warm shower after struggling to get my boots off and am now sitting here by the computer with a cup of warm tea and a story to tell. I’m happy it’s not much below zero at the moment, and that the weather is nice and sunny, would probably have caught a big cold if it was, as it was now I didn’t need to catch anything but my breath when I reached the door. Didn’t feel cold at all while jogging home either, but in the shower my legs starting itching like crazy warming up, must’ve been numbed out or something. I had a camera bag in a lower pocket too, flooded, I had just minutes before the ice crushing placed the new camera in a jacket pocket, so it survived, lucky!! It was a morally enriching experience, I suppose, and good exercise, so all in all it’s been a fun and adventurous day.

I wrote a post about this game earlier, just played it some more and took a few printscreens, so here they are for the world to see. Just about every wave (level) in the game up until level 32 is shown here, along with all kinds of foes and powerups. After level 30 the game really gets annoying, even on normal mode. Then there’s difficult and insane, just imagine how that would be?! Anyhow, great game, great timewaster. After each five levels a checkpoint is formed so you can skip  back into the game from that level (though your score is reset) if you lose, each tenth level is somekind of boss level, and each level after is just a collect-bonus-points-within-timelimit level. Music builds up overtime, as do enemies and powerups. I didn’t complete the game, no time now, but I guess there are about a hundred levels in it (judging by the leftover space on the checkpoint page), so there’s plenty of gameplay! Anyhow, pictures below.

Bullet Candy is a fun space shooter game full of special effects, like the “game over” screen below …

… or the “next level” screen below. Obviously they’re both animated too, but I couldn’t capture that with a printscreen. Seems like I couldn’t capture the text with a printscreen either, it just dissapeared right out of the picture, but it looks much better without text anyway.

And here’s a pic of the game itself:

It’s a small game (28MB), with smooth gameplay and a nice batch of sequential levels, powerups, etcetc. Pictures say more than a thousand words, so I won’t bother writing too much.

Lights out. Eyes Closed. Speakers Blasting. Bounce. Let out a little frustration. A little rage. A little energy.

INSPIRATION! AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Don’t think I can sleep at all tonight, haha, feel like just jumping out the window and running running running!!

Rise and shine!
Like cereal, real hunger killer.
All grain all filler.
No need for fiber.
My time is iller.
I dive with pliers.
Down under still earth.
The fridge won’t budge.
You be the judge.
Is it just too full of food.
Or too thick layers of unplied dust.
I think I must.
Write just a few lines before.
I download comics, take a walk.
And on my studies progress more.
