hibernation mode
I spent the vast majority of yesterday sleeping. I don't know why. I just had a strong desire to hibernate. And, this being the time of the year for it, I think that's fine. It was cold outside, I didn't feel like reading or playing video games or cleaning or working or whatever, I just wanted to do nothing. Sleeping is doing nothing in its purest form.
Aside from that, I made up a box of Rice-a-Roni pasta. It was good, but, from a purely economic perspective, it's a bit of a ripoff. It comes in this fairly large box, but upon inspection of the contents, you see about three-quarters of an inch of vermicelli and a small packet of seasoning. All told, you could probably fit it all into a Jello box.
So, you know, it's convenient. You just throw the stuff into a pot, boil, and you're done. No measuring, no dirtying multiple pots, just dump and cook. And the end result is pretty tasty. But if you really wanted to be cheap, you could do much better by buying the component ingredients separately. Which defeats the convenience.
I'm not really complaining. It was good, it was convenient. It was just that opening up the box and seeing it filled mostly with air...you know.
Ignore me. I'm rambling.
Chuck's comment about Metroid reminded me of something I think I wrote about a year or two ago, about how I didn't like to watch movies that I wasn't enjoying immediately. That was back when I had Netflix, of course, and so that affects things somewhat. I guess if I actually have bought and own a game, I feel an obligation to play it and beat it. I really could go for a game like Super Mario World right about now, though. Just a good, classic, old-school 2D platformer. I'm so tired of every new game basically being an FPS.
Switching gears: I went through my box o' business cards today and found enough California Tortilla cards to warrant a free burrito, so guess what I'm having for lunch today? Oh yeah. Spicy Sunset Salsa Chicken, you're mine.
