That's a very disgruntled 'bah' - I love it!

I was searching for the right word, and "disgruntled" is right, haha.

I just sewed together a small knitted sheep that says "bah" tersely in a deep, monotone voice.

    Well, I've got a video, but it's only up on Facebook right now. I should probably put it up on Youtube! I'll link to it the moment I do.

I've been on vacation for the past week, so I've been posting my snaps to tumblr (asterozoa) and trying out new games. Tinkatolli was the cutest, Fleck was promising, Lord of Ultima was blah, KOL is all right, and Missing Ink can't be played on Linux -- none of them have really offered the level of immersion and wonder that Glitch offered. I guess it was a game before its time. :< So I went to my old school playground and hung out there for the afternoon, and it turns out that I just needed to go outside to find some imagination again. Now if only I could somehow smuggle a jungle gym into my apartment back in the city.

It's a kid's game, but it's quickly growing on me. If anyone (or their child) is on Tinkatolli (tinkatolli.me), I'm klorohaoma. :)

How did you guys find it? I realized after an hour or so that it was kind of limited, though I wish I had a kid to craft some of the stuff IRL with.

    It is pretty limited, only a few streets to go on and not much to do. Much more of a stress-relieving break for twenty minutes than the five-hour Glitch marathons. Interesting, nonetheless.

WhaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning?s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star-shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. -- Mary Elizabeth Frye (via Arthur Dent-Ur)
Two haiku by Matsuo Basho
A cold rain starting And no hat -- So? -- A weathered skeleton in windy fields of memory, piercing like a knife
Three haiku by Kobayashi Issa
Don?t worry, spiders, I keep house casually. -- New Year?s Day? everything is in blossom! I feel about average. -- In this world we walk on the roof of hell, gazing at flowers. -- Translated by Robert Hass.
Sonnet of the Street Spirit 2
There was a time, before you Glitches came When through these lands some other feet did tread I knew them by the noise before the name Their voices cut all earholes into shreds. Those were, I think, the supplicants of Pot Whose bawdy songs in keys too high to hear Would cause the rocks themselves to blush a lot. (Though rocks themselves say things that shame your ears). Some swore eternal loyalty to Lem And wore the Lemmish stripes upon their leg. They boasted of the ground covered by them. How far they?d hoofed o?er land and sea and weg. That?s not the point. The fact is, before you Were here, lived lives, and left their own mark, too.
Sonnet of the Street Spirit
When came the Glitch to walk upon this land? What Lemmish map did lead them to this place? This ground was shaped by naught but Giant?s hand Each feature caused a smile upon Giants? face. Age upon age, this land stood, icy still The only sound the flap of butt?ry wings And yet, of late - an influx: sudden fill Of Glitchlife and the chaos that it brings. Who knows what tree they might plant somewhere next? Who knows how long that tree might get to live? Our firstly instinct was to get quite vexed. But life with giants has taught us to forgive. Whichever way the Glitchy whims might bend The world will find its balance in the end.
A note!
I don't know if you'll get to read this still, but thank you.
