CNY Day Minus 3 – Housecleaning + Italo Calvino + Online Gaming

Woke up with a neck pain, probably because of last night’s online gaming till seven in the morning. So tired, have to forget about vocal recording again. Well, I have practice one session again to help me memorizing my songs and that was all.

Back when I played Sims 2, I found it intriguing that Sims with high neatness and dedication enjoy housework. And that, I can relate. When my place is dirty, I am allergic to the dust and all. While I am cleaning up my place, I actually feel better and better. Perhaps that is just me.

Two hours I spent cleaning up the place, two hours.

After finishing the housework at four, I had my tea time and since I want to return to my calling as a writer, I picked up Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium. If there was only one writer I moan about his death, that would be Italo Calvino. I have read many of his novels – lost count indeed – I love all of them. In his Memos, he talked about the values that were closed to his heart as a literature writer. I have much to learn from him. Planned to finish the book in one day – a thin one indeed – but it was too heavy for me. I will probably have a separate posting one of these days.

Two hours has passed since I have read Italo Calvin’s book.

Online gaming can be very addictive. First of all, you will never know who you will be grouping with. Instead of those people from the Internet whom you don’t know of, I guess online gaming is a lot safer than online chatting. At least, the group has a common goal – kill the monsters and gain experience.

It was fun to group with many only to see all of us perish one after another; it was fun to see how the group pulls through adversity; it was fun to see how some of us fight back to the dungeon only to resurrect our team-mates who died along the way. Online gaming is fun, real fun.
