Essentially, you roll a giant ball around a house and eventually the planet, rolling stuff up. It&#8217;s strangely fun and a fairly interesting head-trip, but the problem is in the rolling things around. You tend to roll in circles to pick things up, and this causes the camera to rotate around too. And then I started to get motion sick. Yes, motion sick from a video game.<\/p>\n<p>Stop laughing now, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>So, I stopped playing and looked for some pepto. I had some, but it expired 2 years ago. Apparently, I don&#8217;t get sick to my stomach that often. Instead, I did the dishes, took a shower, and went to bed really early.<\/p>\n<p>And had some serious reality bending dreams. I think I was awake, or at least partly awake, for some of them &#8211; and had a lot of trouble waking up this morning. Or more accurately &#8211; had a lot of trouble getting out of bed.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ve addressed this before in a blog, but it felt like something got left behind in that seriously messed up hodge-podge of dreams. Not sure exactly where I ended up last night while I slept, but I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s worth going back there to get whatever might have been lost.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s already 11:00 in the morning and I&#8217;l still a little out of it. Which is scary since I was on the road coming to work around 7:00. Good thing I take the same route every morning &#8211; I think my car was on auto-pilot.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not much of an entry, but I should get back to work&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-112204555774182562?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I fired up the video game Katamari Damacy last night &#8211; hadn&#8217;t played it in a while.
