Saturday: I am diseased once more

elfsSaturday, I tried to help Omaha get her website up and running locally, but it didn't seem to be working the way I wanted it to. I'll investigate further when I have the time an energy. Unfortunately, that doesn't look like it'll be happening soon: I appear to have come down with the crud that's going around. Coughing, head like a brick, sore throat, general run-down sensation, low-grade fever. We did go out long enough to take a flash drive to the photo processor to make prints for our low-tech relatives, cat food, dry cleaner's, the bookstore at the mall (where, while Omaha was looking for a book, I picked up a copy of We ♥ Katamari), and the clothing store to get Kouryou-chan a new dress.
Bleah. I have no creative energy.
I will say that the makers of We ♥ Katamari totally nailed what was essential about a sequel: it had to be informed. The King of all Cosmos is awed by the fact that he has fans on Earth, and wants to give them more, to hear their praise, and be happy in their rewards. It winks and nudges at the "We had no idea this game would be so popular, so we're giving you more." It's a game that's grateful for its own existence, and for the fans that loved it. It gives the player more, but in such a happy and cheerful way that it wins you over your reluctance to dive into a sequel.
It was easy to water the cat. We've gotten good at it. And we've found frozen, raw rabbit mixed with the appropriate level of nutritional supplements that works for her. Better than the pasteurized stuff, at least to what remains of her feral imagination.
