So, the jolly thing about these pictures is that I took the top one about a month ago, telling myself that since I was going to clean that day, I should take photographic evidence of the trash monster that was eating my room before forcing him to disgorge it with vacuum and cutlass. Yes, the cutlass is an essential cleaning product - how else am I to defend myself from the angry tribes of primitives that take up residence in the wilds of my room? +3 edged weapons of trash monster slaying aside, my room only finally got to the condition pictured to the right earlier today. Procrastination!
As the comment above may have indicated, I've been absolutely dying to play Angband lately, and continually have to remind myself that I'm here to study Japanese, not become an abominably alliterative dervish of demonic destruction. Honestly, though, when I'm sitting in my room and the only two real options are concentrate very hard on learning difficult aspects of Japanese and slay hordes of Tolkien-y beasties while, and here's the kicker, finding stuff, it's very difficult to come up with convincing reasons why the latter is untenable. The thing is, what with the spicy yet simplified dungeons-and-dragons-style fighting, the endlessly entertaining Tolkien-themed monsters and the chance to interact with jolly things like the star of elendil (it's shiny!) and the bow of cubragol (very speedy!), it is likely the nerdiest and most fun game I've ever played. I mean, I've enjoyed a lot of other games more intensely at times, but I think that the game I can say I've spent the most hours playing and enjoying has to be Angband, although Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a fairly close second.
On second thought, it was probably unnecessary to share that with the world.
Maybe you should just subsitute that entire paragraph for something level-headed and normal about chickens. Or bunnies.
Incidentally, I am disappointed that no one commented on Ovie the Friendly Ovum; I mean, come on! An ovum exhorting you to keep his uterus clean! I even used the word "uterine"! What do I have to do to get a rise from you people?
