It's that time again, and it may be a long haul after three hours of teaching and an hour in the swimming pool. Only industrial grade matches might keep these open for very long. This may well degenerate into completely gibberish before the cabbages even begin to crow at midnight. It might already be too late...
It's very restful to watch people playing abstract games, for some reason. At this very moment, Zee and Tom from the Dice Tower are happily shuffling pieces around in an abstract tryout session, and it's very nice. It's just a shame that there is no-one here with whom to play abstract games, as there are lots of unusual ones to be explored. That is definitely a first world problem, isn't it? A lack of people with whom to play abstract games? The video is becoming hypnotic, and now there's something very nice called 'Katarenga', which is a very unusual chess variant. How... mesmerising...
No! It is not yet time to be brainwashed by the board game fanatics! That can be for tomorrow!
There are lots of things that could be written about right now, as the world is full of lunacy. There are crazy presidents, collapsing service companies of giant proportions, snow storms, long-running scandals and wibbly wobbly movements in the prophetic winds. Society is trying to reshape itself, but the world is fighting back. It's
still not as chaotic as last year or its predecessor, though.
The most exciting thing here at the Quirky Muffin, to be very different, is the advent of 'Basil of Baker Street', the classic children's novel. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Will it be extraordinarily rad? Yes, 'rad' is the word. We invented the colloquial time tunnel and are very proud of it! Let's be dated, but to a different time period than the one that seems most obvious. Cowabunga.
To Baker Street! After Terry Pratchett's 'Pyramids'! And more exclamation marks!
