A Mix Of Themes

It's time to once again tap away on the keys, putting together these words in patterns and structures which are acceptably coherent and not at all reminiscent of train timetables or songs about Quarks and Boojums. Or was it Boojums and Snarks? Or even a third and entirely different option? It has been far too long since I took a peek at 'Alice In Wonderland'! That would be a far betting thing to do than squandering money on board games on Kickstarter, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? These spending habits are very hard to break!

What did I back on Kickstarter? Well, it's embarrassing, but with the first package actually arriving it might be a good idea to self-shame and hope it ends the binge. 'Card City XL' has already arrived, while the following were funded and will turn up sooner of later: 'The Little Flower Shop', 'Powerships', 'Hardback', 'Ink Monsters', 'Minerva' and the third edition of 'Wok Star'. 'Spy Club' and 'Dice Hospital' will reach their targets too, causing a small earthquake of purchases. The only good part is that all these things will at least make great gifts. Yes, if you can't stop yourself, at least use the proceeds to make other people happier.

The Old Time Radio boom is continuing, here at the home of the Quirky Muffin, with 'Dimension X' also jumping into consideration. It's hard to believe that all these old series are so forgotten now, and absolutely free to check out. Yes, there is a lot of hokiness out there, but there is also a lot of incredible originality from one of the most creative periods in human history. It's pure inventiveness, from back before we began to substitute money in its place. Maybe a similar era can happen again, though? Not identically, as only a fool tries to bring the past back to life as it was, but as a new evolution of how things happen? It seems as if the madness of overwhelming money worship is falling to the side, a little at a time. Of course, it might just be wishful thinking. We'll have to wait and see. It's going to be very difficult to dig a tunnel across to the other trouser leg of history.

Moving on, it's funny to think that the hours of chiselling and banging are all over now, and that primary work on the wood project is all done. Yes, all done. All that remain now are minor adjustment, treating, assembly and painting. Then, it will all be over until it's time to make a bed next year. Yes, a whole bed! What wonders will ensue! Or calamities!
