My house has temporarily been turned into a game. The rules are pretty simple: Don’t touch the floor in the kitchen or the stairs – they’ve just been lacquered. Upstairs is my room and my parents’ bedroom. Downstairs is food and drink, the toilet, and the outside. Until the lacquer dries, there’s only one way to move to and from my room (and more importantly, my computer):
I have to climb on the railing.
By most standards, this would be an inconvenience, but for some reason I find it pretty entertaining. It’s a throwback to the games we used to play as kids, where we’d chase each other around on the playground pretending that the ground was poison and touching it would kill us. Now it’s a challenge just moving through the house. I guess when it comes down to it, I’m still just 8 years old inside.
Heh, we used to play those games, too. Good times….
Really? What did you call it? Because I asked Gelo, and he wasn’t familiar with the game.
I donno if we called it anything. I think it was just Tag and you couldn’t touch the ground.
Heheh, makes sense!
I thought you’d climb out the window and take a leap of faith (as in Assassins creed)
Actually the roof of the living room is right outside my window, so getting down that way would be a completely reasonable way to go about it.
Yeah if I needed to get downstairs without using the stairs I’d go out my window onto the roof and jump down onto the grass.
Then I guess I’d hope I didn’t twist an ankle or something.
Also, I noticed your captcha is enabled even when I’m logged in, were you getting blog spam from users too?
No but I had to switch to ReCaptcha because the old one was getting stuck on certain words, and ReCaptcha doesn’t have a lot of customization, so I can’t set it to go away when you’re logged in.
But with ReCaptcha you’re actually helping to digitize old books when you type in the words, so it’s all for a good cause!
How am I helping to digitize old books if it knows what it’s checking against?
Ever noticed how it shows you TWO words?
