Life In General
As of late I have taken to staying up to the most dreadful hours of the night, wasting my life away with video games such as Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the block game. While this may seem atypical behaviour for me, I can guarantee you the addictive nature of these games makes up for this case of addiction. The latest game in my arsenal has been Line Rider. It isn’t actually a game, but a toy; however, I like to call it a game as I find I can call up that word more readily than I can say it is a toy. It is more addicting than the block game, simpler and more accessible than Zelda, and therefore has received the brunt of my game-playing time. It is quite tough, though, so watch out.
Outside of playing video games, I’ve been writing two papers and a presentation while simultaneously trying to work on my novel for NaNoWriMo and reading the books I’ve recently acquired [Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky, War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, and The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis]. I’ve also read The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer in the past two weeks and I recommend them highly to anyone looking for a great book. Currently I am reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, but I am not far enough in to know how I like it.
This Wednesday I see Brand New play at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis, Missouri. I am nowhere near ready for the experience, but I have been preparing myself in every way possible. I shall post a review after it is over.
