The Acura, Some Free Time, and Lengthy Hair

          Right now, it's a little past one in the morning - you'd think I'd be asleep, right? But I've been distracted and my mind's been racing lately. It all began on Monday. It was the first time I've truly had free time since God-knows-when. So I spent the afternoon immersed in thatgamecompany's offerings: Flow and Flower. Both games are so simple, relaxing, and visually engaging. In Flow, you are a small organism, able to eat and grow and become a gorgeous being. As you delve deeper into the ocean, you encounter other larger beings that you can run away from, or kill and eat them up. It took me a while to get the controls down though, so it was frustrating for while, before it got relaxing. In Flower, you use the wind guide single petals to other flowers, causing them to bloom and plucking a single petal from that flower, too. In each level, the chain of petals get longer and longer, as well as colorful, too. It makes me wish that we, as humans, weren't so negligent of our environment, though I doubt that was the game's intention. Like Flow, it was simple and meant to be relaxing. Here's the official trailer to Flower: 

          Yesterday morning, I was trying to start up my car again. Only it wouldn't go. For some reason, the engine wouldn't turn over. The first thing I thought was that the distributor was shot - again. I swear, my Acura eats distributors for breakfast. Somehow, in the end, I got the engine to turn over, though I feel lucky that it did at all. I'm tempted to go to a mechanic, but I don't have the means to pay for it. I'm going to have to save some money.

          My hair's been getting longer lately, and I'm surprised it took me so long to notice. The last time I had a haircut was mid-July, when one of my best friends was getting married, and I was asked to be a groomsman. So I haven't had a trim since. I don't mind having longer hair. In fact, I enjoy it so much better than shorter hair, though others despise the though of me having lengthy hair. I probably won't be able to get a trim until the end of the year. The one thing I don't like about having my hair at the current length is the fact that it's so shaggy. Think of Michael Cera's hair in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It's just like that. It'll be a while before it looks more appealing, unfortunately. Though, if I can be vain for a bit, it's been looking good. My hair is layered quite nicely that I get compliments from women from time to time. So maybe it won't be so bad this time around.
