Plans for the Fortnight
Jul. 18th, 2008 10:47 amWhitney's gone to visit her parents in California for a week and a half - I saw her into a taxi at half past four in the morning, the exact time when your brain refuses to process anything and all you want to do is go back to sleep. So this leaves me alone in the flat again for a while.
In the past, events have somehow conspired to make it seem like I'm slightly incompetent at taking care of myself, and am likely to lose a leg while making breakfast or accidentally cut my head off while washing my hair. Culinary mishaps, suicidal ovens and visitations from other worlds are not uncommon at times like these. And though I promise people I can survive perfectly well myself (perhaps with the aid of a few take-away phone numbers), everyone always gets the impression that I'm only still alive because Whitney keeps coming back just in time.
With so much time completely to myself I have a couple of options. What I'd really like to do is use the week to really push ahead with Crystal Towers 2, which has now been in existence for sixteen months and is still in a tatty "maybe I can just go ahead and build out loads of levels now" state. There's a plan for how to allow progress through the game on my whiteboard, as well as a general layout for the hub, and if I can just stick to that I'll at least have some sort of aim. My feelings about it switch to thinking it's hopeless to really seeing it coming together in the space of hours, so if I can keep positive about it I might be able to get some serious work done to it over the coming few days.
There are other things I have that want to be finished as well, but none of them are hammering at the back of my head quite so urgently as that one. Alternatively I could just give up and spend the week with retro games and British TV on Youtube.
