Meteor Showers

So yeah, a daily flash! About meteor showers! I’m pretty sure I had a better idea for the ending but I suddenly forgot it so I just kinda made up stuff. It was not regarding danmaku, though. Or maybe this was my original idea and it just seemed great at the time and then after I finished I realized it wasn’t as great as it first seemed to be, so I was led to think I started with another idea. Well, whatever it is, here it is.

TV Gameshows

Whenever I watch one of those trivia gameshows on TV and I know the answer to a question, I always have the mindset of “if I know the answer to this question, there’s no way the contestant doesn’t know it,” even if it’s something most people probably don’t know the answer to. Then, when they get it wrong, I feel like I’d be a better contestant on the show, until I realize that I’d probably get all the questions wrong except that one I just happened to know the answer to.

Not Insects

Sometimes I see a small dark spot on a wall and think it’s an insect or something, but when I go up close, I realize it’s just a dark spot. But then at other times, I look away and when I look back, it seems as if the spot moved, leading me to believe it’s actually an insect when it clearly isn’t. Lack of ideas? Yes! Could’ve done another create.swf update but that would’ve taken too long, and there isn’t that much time left until the day’s over. So here is a daily flash that isn’t all that interesting.

Not Stealing

Interestingly (well, not really), the swf file itself is named “stealing.swf.” Anyway, it’s not so much of an issue in bigger stores, but in stores with very few people in them, it’s always a weird feeling to walk out without buying anything, because then it might seem like I stole something. It’s even more of an issue if I came in to the store holding something that happens to be sold in the store (usually with beverages or something), because then I feel like I have to make it really clear that I already had it before entering without actually telling them directly. Usually by making it very easy to see, because clearly, if I wanted to steal it, I would have hidden it somewhere. Though I guess doing things like that just makes it look suspicious.

Ordering Food

Yeah, I don’t really know where I was going with that ending either. But anyway, actual food rarely looks like it does in menu pictures, in good and bad ways (mostly bad). Most of the time the actual food looks worse, but there are occasions when I’ve seen pictures of food that doesn’t make it look that great, but the actual thing is much better. This seems to apply mainly to burgers though (however, “the actual food looks better than the one in the picture” one doesn’t seem to ever apply to fast food restaurants). So basically, uhh… don’t judge a burger by its picture? If it looks really good in the picture, it’s probably not what you’d expect.
