Reshuffling / Badass Elephant

I appear to be in a period of reshuffling, of shaking things up in what had become, in hindsight, a staid routine: Fountain pen instead of the countless others I’ve tried (I’ve got the former tattooed on my arm, I should probably learn to use one – and, so far, I’m glad I did, but more on that in future postings); 15 minutes of meditation twice a day instead of 30; one slice of bread cut in two instead of two slices of bread for my sandwich (diabetic logic: why add the extra carbs when I can stuff the same amount of delectable meatstuffs into a smaller package and still be satisfied?); floss-rinse-brush instead of brush-floss-rinse (a recommendation from the dentist which set the OCD proclivities afire for a couple weeks and may have triggered all of these miniscule yet profound, for me, transformations); laptop instead of 27-inch monitor (smaller screen = more focus); podcasts instead of hot-take thinkpieces (mem: sometime write a list of the ones I listen to), print and paid subscriptions over online sources; sticking with these ramblings as my primary in-public outlet… the list goes on.

Consider this piece to be not representative of a search for why but more of a statement for purposes of self-accountability… oh, yes: I’ve become hooked on TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT, a beautiful bit of cel-shaded sidescroller fun in which you, as the eponymous badass elephant, save the masses of Shell City from the invading hordes of Phantom. TEMBO is currently on sale in the Microsoft Store and is more than worth your time and pocket change.
