Dear DS diary,
I did it again this week. I felt bad enough about myself that I went hiding. This time it turned into something, but it took me a week to do it.
I had been playing the puzzle game KLAX, and one night I got a score of around 882K on the arcade version at Retro Uprising, a classic games site that I sometimes frequent. Well...I started to wonder if I could actually break a million on some version of KLAX. And when my mood gets low, I become very vulnerable to doing these stupid little things that I really shouldn't be chasing but do just to get them the heck out of my head.
I couldn't do it on the arcade version of the game. But I discovered that the Game Gear version of KLAX plays easier (it's not my favorite for that reason), and three nights ago I came within 28K of my ill-advised target. So I tried again the other night, and the link below will take you to what came out.
I'm actually not that proud that I did this because it's my addiction issues coming up again to haunt me, just to run away from stuff. But at least now I won't have to worry about this particular nightmare for a while:
