Over-Botch doesn’t have a great many NPCs, but they do add them every now and then for the most popular professions. I guess they’re very slowly starting to populate the universe, but Tom will always be my favourite. He’s the one that shows up at everyone’s house on their very first day of play and …
All this talk of air conditioning, and it being too hot, and too cold…it’s disgraceful, really. It’s purely a distraction from the important things in life, like providing air conditioning to people in need. Like, people in need here in Toorak. Did you know that only 80% of homes in Toorak have air conditioning? Toorak …
I know anthologies don’t sell all that well, but the true genius of my short story collection is that they all tell one unified story: the story of the ocean. Yes, the ocean is the main character, albeit one that doesn’t speak, and no one treats it like a character. But that’s the true genius. …
Budgets. Budgets are VERY grown up. I never thought I’d grow up, personally, but events certainly do move very quickly. One minute I’m teaching a prep class how to paint their favourite animal, my dream job, and the next minute I’m being shunted up the position of principal and I’m definitely not qualified. I think …
Sometimes I don’t think we’re actually learning anything about architecture in this course. Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time and everything, but it’s way too much fun. Our professor just keeps setting us fun assignments, and I’m thinking…tone down the fun. It was fun designing our perfect bouncy-castle-city to accommodate a thousand …
My brother, Harold, is always breaking my stuff. It’s been like this since the day I was born, when he ruined by crib mattress by nicking off with it and using it to slide down a hill on our property (quite an innovative move for a five year-old, I must say). When I was seven, …
I’m really starting to see the doctor point of view, from multiple angles. Firstly, I now understand the frustration doctors feel when people book appointments because they have some sniffles. I say ‘people’, but I of course mean ‘hypochondriacs’. And then I’m also understanding the off-duty questions they must get when people find out they’re …
Ahh, if only there were more 24-hour services in the world… That’s very wishful thinking on my part, of course. Back in my home country, there was almost nothing open after 9 pm. in fact, I can’t think of anything that ever was. Family time is very important to my people, you see. Now that …
I’m not saying that the next door neighbours are vampires. I’m just…heavily implying it. And I know my stuff as well, because I watched every single movie in the ‘Night of the Living Vampires of Final Destination‘ series. Even the fifth one, which the rest of the fans think should be removed from the canon …
Today I wandered from the path of life, mainly because some upstart had the audacity to steal my favourite ukulele spot down by the docks. I like to sit there when the weather is fair, drinking in the sounds of the sea, basking in the twilight zone between nature and industry, and serenading the waves …
