We celebrated my birthday on Saturday, and I must say, it was a happp birthday<\/a>!\u00a0 I got\u00a0some hand-made bunny pajamas from my great aunt<\/a>.\u00a0 (I didn’t get the BB gun I wanted, though, because apparently I’d shoot my eye out.)\u00a0 I also got this blu-ray and these books<\/a>.\u00a0 So, ’twas good.\u00a0\u00a0And the cake’s already gone.<\/p>\n

I also finished playing the game Portal<\/a> the other day.\u00a0 It’s a short game; only takes about 6-8 hours (though I’m sure one could get good at getting through the thing in less than an hour with some practice).\u00a0 It’s a puzzle\/action game, and is very addicting.\u00a0 You basically use a “portal gun” (or whatever it’s called) and create portals in the walls that then connect to each other.\u00a0 For examples, you could create a portal right in front of you and one right behind you to create an infinite hallway.\u00a0 Or create one right above you and right below you to create a bottomless pit.\u00a0 To win the game, however, you must create portals\u00a0to solve puzzles, getting yourself and boxes and weird energy balls from one place to another, over and around obstacles.\u00a0 And, at the end, it plays this really catchy song<\/a>.\u00a0 I haven’t played the bonus levels yet.<\/p>\n

I still haven’t done any more programming for my Android game, but I did compose another short 2-minute piece of music called “Clockwork.”\u00a0 It’s not really as bombastic as my other pieces; it’s kind of light-hearted background music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
