Catching and releasing ZZZs.

Sleeping is my latest hobby: after all, sleep is where I am a Viking. Rather than conquer territories far and wide, I had the not-so-difficult task of eliminating one letter from the alphabet. The answer was evident to me: Z. The English language can do without this letter. My alarm went off as soon as I declared the elimination of the letter Z. How fitting: it interrupted my ZZZs. This was okay, as it was already 9am.

The drugs I’ve been on for two months now list “insomnia” as a possible side effect. Contrary to this, I have been extra-groggy. I had two naps following my alphabet-culling dream. I slept in until 9 again this morning, and the preceding dream was about packing up for a move. I was in an unfamiliar house: everything was a mess, and people were starting to move boxes even though I hadn’t finished packing up. It was a stressful dream that I was glad to wake up from.

I like an excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast.

This is the dark chocolate & red berries variety of Love Crunch granola. The red berries are mere specks. The dark chocolate… is not there. I looked at the window in the bag, but I did not see a single piece. I looked inside the bag and shook the bag too.

There is no chocolate! Sometimes, when things like this happen, I just take the L because I don’t like dealing with customer service. Fortunately, the folks at Nature’s Path took me seriously.

Albeit a little too seriously.

Blurred reality.

A couple of days ago, I got ripped off by a married woman who was flirting with me. She wanted me to light the four torches around the goddess statue in Kakariko Village. She promised a reward.

As the torches stuck out of the water, I lit them using four fire arrows. My reward? 20 rupees. Each fire arrow costs 20 rupees!

But that was a few days ago. Since then, I’ve found and purchased multiple bomb, fire, electric, and ice arrows. I have bonded with three horses: Seacookie, Apples, and Bonbon. I’ve only owned the game for two weeks, and already I’ve played 70 hours, courtesy of COVID.

Link can take selfies with the Camera Rune:
