To-do lists

[robinturner]

I frequently make mental to-do lists. Occasionally, when I'm feeling unusually organised, I even write them down. They fall into two categories: things I'd like to do to develop my potential (improve my Perl, Lojban, martial arts skills etc.) and things I need to do otherwise I'm in trouble (grade papers, get my tax number, clean the house etc.). However, I think it's time I had a frivolous to-do list. As Horace said: "Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans; it's lovely to be silly at the right moment." So here's my frivolous to-do list:

• Learn the chorus of the Ketchup song
• Do a handspring
• Learn the samba
• Make flapjacks
• Play Alice
• Write more silly LJ entries

The handspring part might be tricky, though.

Are you talking about Alice the video game? It's a good one...really good music.

I decided to sell off all of my video games and quit cold turkey. Yeah right. The decision was made but my actions haven't followed just yet.

Yes that's the one. The gameplay is too linear for my tastes, but I love the atmosphere.

I actually spend very little time gaming - rebooting into Windows isn't worth it unless I'm going to have a long session with no distractions, which is a rare event (and trying to get games to work with Wine is an even less profitable use of my time). Once in a while, usually during a holiday, I have a binge and get totally into a game - the last time was when I got hold of Max Payne.

Oh Robin ! I'm so surprised ! I adore you ! hehe :) I didn't think there was anybody else around me who'd love Alice the video game, I really am !

I think the art direction in that game is simply superb...the artists have done a really good job.
The company that made Alice (I can't remember the name now) is going to be one of the very first I'll send my CV.
But the one I want to work at actually is the company that made Syberia and Post-Mortem, Microids ? Gosh, I can't remember anything anymore...
anyway, I'm really glad that you liked Alice, too :)
