I want to buy a puzzle a month when I grow up.
Growing up is a vague phrase that I like to use. What does it mean to me now? Probably when I'm working full time.
I must be a grown-up going by some old definition I had, but I can't remember any aspirations I can compare myself with. Maybe keeping this journal will let me compare my ideals with reality some time down the track... in which case I should be writing about grander goals than buying little toy puzzles.
But puzzles are great! I claim to be a masochist about games and other pursuits of various intellectual levels. Difficulty and annoyance mostly add to my experience. So puzzles are perfect.
I'm rambling about this because I recently finished Rubik's Clock with my darling girlfriend. It took us less than an hour and I understand how it works.
It's meant to be harder than Rubik's Cube so I tried that one. I threw it at my couch in frustration more than an hour later.
I've got lots of little things I plan to waste my money on, like ties and games and manga.
One problem is that game programming has less synergies with tie collecting when compared to other professions... can't have everything eh?
