Shop Trance

I saw one of my playing card packs sitting on a shelf collecting dust, what a shame it is. I live in a world where I can't sit down with another person and play a game, no one has the time and peace of mind to stop a play for a while.  It exposes how miserable the world is. Small talk is dead, public decency is worn away, the youth are angry and frustrated and all that is left is payer and the little daily perks that keep my chin up. 

An ordinary working man like myself will buy one item of clothing per week to slowly replace my clothes as they get worn out. I can just walk about in shops and look at stuff for a few hours and get something new. I got some new bamboo shocks for a fiver, I wonder how they got the fibres to be stretchy like elastic. The mysteries never end. 

I just look at stuff in my home and see a familiar sight and I sip some coffee, joy comes from that. As the world stinks of allegorical decay and hate, I distract myself with routines and things. 

A solar powered flower lamp, a favourite book, the lights in my little bar, my hobbies and games on my Nintendo I can play in my down time. 

If you keep your fingers busy, everything will be ok. There is a joy that comes from being transparent to everyone and being busy in private. 

McDonald's Cards

Today I went to McDonald's and learnt they are providing a new game. They are supplying prize cards with some of their menu items. The idea is you collect the cards and build up the collection and when you get 4 of a kind, you unlock a prize. It is a bit like playing bingo. You also win food items with some of the cards in a pack, you get 4 of them at a time. I think you can also swap them if you get duplicates. 

I recall a while back they were supplying a slightly smaller licensed version of the Uno game with their happy meal. I thought it was very clever because people of all ages like to play card games. Cards are quite cheap to produce and they're light weight and take up a small space so distributing it as a toy for a children's meal is very clever in my view. 

I think it's  good to play card games because it gets your mind thinking. They don't use electricity. 

I like the way I can accumulate points and rewards and trade them in for free food items.
