The title of this post comes from a B-side from the Snow Patrol discography, called In Command of Cars. It is little known, but it has wonderfully morbid lyrics - "If there is a god, someone wake him up and tell him to sort it now."
Suspiciously so, I haven't been feeling morbid in the last 24 hours, although part of that can be attributed to the fact that I slept for about 14 of those 24, and then cleaned the room and played a stunning computer business-simulation game on the room mate's laptop. Yes, cleaning relaxes me. Yes yes, I get it, OCD and housekeeper jokes all around, ha-ha. But seriously though. To see everything fit into wonderfully right angles, perfectly symmetrical stacks, books of uniform thickness, markers arranged in VIBGYOR and intermediary connected shades, ohmy. Ultimate pleasure. Completely organised and tagged music with album art arranged alphabetically according to artist, then album then song name alphabetically. That is my summer project. :) Aside from, of course, living it up in OC. (OC referring to Oh!Calcutta. Also called Cal. Do not confuse with Orange County, or California. Standard jokes abound at this point.)
Speaking of where, might I congratulate the American Boy for successfully configuring his life thus allowing me to call him Mushu for the rest of his life, also, congratulations, ex-Jailbait, you're in college now!
And now, here is a Mushu quote- "I'm, intimidating? Awe-inspiring? (Mulan: Tiny.) Of course! I'm travel-sized for your convenience. If I was my real size, your COW here (points to Mulan's sexy black horse, Khan)would die of fright."
So as I was saying, the awesome computer game. It's called, get this, "Chocolatier - Decadence by Design" and follows your travels in the quest of becoming the CEO of Baumeister chocolates. To achieve this, you travel all around the world buying raw materials and configuring factories, as well as selling and fulfilling orders for money. You're essentially completing the requirements set out by each Board Member - you have to appease them one by one, set up factories and market new ranges. I'm at level four of god-only-knows how many, and there's a chocolate factory in Zurich, a coffee company in Cape Town, production of infusions in Tokyo and (ohyes) truffles in San Francisco, and retail outlets in Kona, Hawaii and Tangiers. Chocolatier allows multi-tasking with stunning graphics and wonderfully detailed locations (each of the locations have their specific background music and each character from each area is perfectly dressed), and each location has about four sub-missions you complete for cash, which by the way you need desperately for production.
It's a amazing game that's kept me awake for two nights already, and since I have enough time until I begin stressing over BEEE, I think I'm going to go make 400 cases of truffles so I can buy the store in Havana.
I'm lame, I'm aware, but if you know anyplace you can get the game from, it's worth a try if you like strategy planning. If you're one of those meatheads into blasting people up on CS or whatever, then stay away like PoM, who told me it was gay and left it at that. :P
PS - If anyone can explain to me the following things - Stepper Motors and Brushless DC Motors, I'll be much obliged.
Ooh, you're into Tycoon type games now.
