Meta Quest monthly subscription just released its new load of games especially the two star free games. Pirate Trainer DX is released too but I already bought that.
There is a new game called Moss. Coincidental as I was clearing moss last Friday at the Courthouse grounds.
How good is the game? Think of the most richest finest quality tea. Rich tea so rich you can taste and experience the difference in quality. I got some good quality tea today. It's called Red Rose tea. The difference in flavour and richness is noticeable.
I'm thinking of getting Moss 2. Moss is that good. It's the story of a mouse as it goes through the most beautiful scenes and simple yet addictive escape room puzzles. I love it. Just love it. Life can bring some good surprises.
Moss can be removed with either a hard wire brush and or a trowel. Then use half and half bleach and water which will turn the moss yellow which rain or wind will wash off.
Moss is acidic. Bleach is alkaline so moss doesn't do well under that. Moss absorbs water making roofs more vulnerable to leaks over time. Moss grows under tree shades where there is not much sunlight but I've seen moss grow on cracks of sidewalks where there is lots of sunlight.
Moss 2 VR costs $19.99 plus tax.
That's marketing 101. When releasing free apps on a subscription, be sure to release one of a few in a series so one will be tempted to get the whole set. Good thing the Moss series has only 2 apps.
Another freebie dropped this month as part of the subscription al party is I Expect You To Die chapter 2. I'm not expecting much from it. More motion sickness saturated escape room BS.
Moss intensely surpassed all my expectations. It's kinda like Demeo and Witchblood. Diorama style. Moss VR has intense influences from Wind and the Willows. The badger is there. It's a honey badger. It doesn't care.
Don't think I'm being too extravagant as I part with another $22.79 including tax for Moss 2. The app gripped me like some kind of uh, grip.
I got Moss 2. $21.28.
Everyone on Reddit reviews say that it is better and more advanced graphically than level 1.
I was thinking of sweeping a roof area of the Courthouse today. But that area is in a semi secluded space near windows and I don't want the Courthouse to get used to seeing the sight of anyone at that roof area on a day where there aren't any people there at all.
I'd rather work there on a day where there are lots of people there. That's more on the up and up. There are a few reasons why anyone would be on that roof area and most of them aren't good. Cleaning, that's good. But also loitering or worse, breaking in.
"So you want to break into the Police station and steal an evidence file, you want to break into a place and steal something in a place where they lock people up for breaking in and stealing." Interior Chinatown
So someone wants to break into a Courthouse, a place where they send people away for B and E's. Uh, makes sense. Nope.
That roof area is above the garage style driveway where prisoners and accused are driven from the Police holding cells to the Court for the bail hearing. Most people are released on bail. A very few are not.
I myself was one more than one occasion driven from the Police holding cells to the Courthouse through that very garage driveway just like George Orwell in his short story called Clink.
There have been times when I was first a customer at a restaurant and then I wound up working there. I see a strange parallel here. I myself was a client of the Courthouse and now I'm more or less working there.
Whether a person gets busted for doing in a few people or whether someone gets busted for boosting a $50 item at a store, that part of the holding cells to the Courthouse process is the same.
I'll be working at the Courthouse another day. I am taking more days off a week because it seems that the leaves have mostly fallen. The trees look nearly bare of leaves whereas a month ago, the trees were full of leaves.
God works in mysterious ways. If I didn't have a case before the Courts it would have never occurred to me to sweep the Courthouse grounds. And it was at a time when it was really needed and no one else was doing it. Had this confluence of events not happened, I can't imagine what the grounds of the Courthouse would look like today.
Previously I thought my room was the domestic level and the street outside my apartment was the industrial level. Now the street outside my apartment is the domestic level and the Courthouse grounds is the industrial level. There were so many more leaves and sweeping work at the Courthouse grounds than there ever was on the street.
I don't know what people who work at the Courthouse would think of me sweeping. There is a janitor there who always talks to me. He is happy to see me help out at the Courthouse grounds. A few people at the Courthouse have smiled at me and said thank you. This includes sheriffs and lawyers and probably a judge or two as well. I've been there for two months for hours a day so I think they would have noticed me already.
Seeing that the Courthouse is part of the judicial branch of government, it goes without saying that their monitoring and surveillance would be at a level that's out of the ordinary. So yeah, they know I'm sweeping the grounds there.
I went to London Drugs this morning and got a bottle of bleach for the moss at the Courthouse roof, a bottle of 99% pure isopropyl rubbing alcohol to kill bedbugs and roaches and for bedbug bites and for disinfecting cuts and blisters and I got some Lavazza coffee from Italy. The coffee was on sale, 10 portion cups for $4.99 which is almost like 90s prices. Yesterday I got Red Rose tea. Red Rose is Empress Hotel quality tea. Not really. Red Rose tea bags are premium tea dust. Go to a tea shop which sells the same tea, whole leaf tea that is served at the Empress Hotel tea time which is about $100 a shot. One occasion. Go to a tea shop. For $10 you get a nice bag of whole leaf tea and that could last for most of a month especially if you give it a second steep. More bang per buck. Give a second, even a third steep. I do, because that's economical.
Lavazza coffee is premium.
Cannabis buds should be dense and tight. Buds that are soft and that you can squeeze like a dry sponge aren't as good.
The party will be over in February 2026 as drug decriminalization will be over. Possession of even one gram of hard drugs will be illegal.

Cleared moss at the Courthouse. Mainly from a roof area.
I got Lavrynthos VR for $5.14 with tax. It's an actual labyrinth.
Elton John lost his eyesight, or most of it anyways.
He is a great musician. I like early Elton John of the 70s with songs such as Bad Side of the Moon, Grow Some Funk of your Own and Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
He looked totally different then with a beard.
He could reinvent himself as the gay White Stevie Wonder or else the other gay Stevie Wonder. Just joking. Stevie Wonder isn't gay at all.
If this was three hundred years later, he might get some ocular transplants and be able to see. This being the primitive days of eye surgery and treatment for blindness in general.
Elton John is Mr England. Any mention of Elton John can be an omen of a future trip to England. For anyone.
I hope he gets his eyesight back sometime again soon. I've heard of conjunctivitis where a person can temporarily lose their eyesight. I'm not a doctor.

Sweeping at the Courthouse grounds, again, I found a small wriggling earthworm living in a crack in a sidewalk. I ran over to one of the stone planters and placed the earthworm in the soil. Earthworms turn the soil. They eat soil and what is regurgitated at the other end is an even better soil. That plant was looking wispy and perhaps the earthworm will help. If the earthworm gets lonely, it just divides itself, being a peripatetic animal. Then further generations result as more earthwormic self divisions occur.
I am at a point where I am questioning why I'm doing this. I don't get money for it.
The Charlie Brown comics had a feature where Charlie Brown was talking to a building, the schoolhouse. If the Courthouse was a building that could talk, it would say, "Oooh that feels good. I like my back being scratched."
If a person did enough acid, minimum 300 hits, they could probably hear the Courthouse and all kinds of other buildings talking to them.
I wonder what the most major £sd story in Victoria would be. I'd like to hear that story. Vancouver Island is legendary for hippies, there seems to be a lot of hippies in the island.
Perhaps the better £sd stories would be up island.
The Malahat Skybridge has a real up island feel.
My life is going nowhere. I often wish that I could instead right now be in the afterlife with Heather. I'd rather be in the afterlife than to go through these pointless ordeals of my life.
My upcoming court trial scares me to no end. In my mind I'm painting a picture of the Scopes trial. I'm Chinese so it would be alike a Chinese Scopes trial. I don't think so.
So obviously to take my mind off the Court case I've decided to sweep the grounds of the Courthouse.
I've had to go to Court before when I was younger. Not much happened.
The fear of the Court trial has ruined my holidays. Not really. Reframe it. Even if a person gets probation at worst, besides a few minutes here and there once every few weeks out of your way, life is pretty much the same. You get weekends to go nature bathing as the Japanese call it, at the park, at the beach, hiking near the mountains.

Lavrynthos is better than I thought. Quite mind blowing. Until I got stuck at a certain stage. Try it again.
As time goes on, I have less and less in common with those at Church. I could go there regularly a year ago but a year ago I was a totally different person.
As time goes on when you don't see someone, when you see them again, it becomes sort of disingenuous to say hello to them again.
It's a cycle, get a circle of friends. As time goes on you have less and less in common with them. Leave them and get a newer circle of friends with more in common.
I don't get envious when I see other people who are more successful. However this is the same person who doesn't cry when they hear about a disaster overseas as some people might. Heart of stone.
If other people try to make you jealous through flaunting it in my face, I would ask myself, "What did I do to them that they would do that to me? And ha ha, what did others do to them that they would do that to me? And again, ha ha, what did they do to themself that they would do that to me?"
My upper left canine tooth had a cavity. Still does and it's worse now that the dentist exposed it and put a filling in it. The filling has a slight uh, cavity and as long as I don't do anything like breathe in cold air quickly or drink anything that is too hot or too cold. Fillings fall apart often. It's not the dentist. It's the structure of the teeth, wear and tear etc. Teeth are a faulty algorithm.
I have a 27 day window left to die in the same year as Beebs. The answers of come up with, Time travel and teleportation is time and space experienced in an objective level. The next dimension has a different set of physics and time dynamic. Who comes up with answers like that? Certainly not fundamentalist Christians.
If I were dead, I wouldn't have to worry about physical pain, eating, sleeping, I would no longer have the dread of physical death hanging over me. It's in the afterlife that one really begins to live. I wish I was there. I don't see much of an incentive for living.
I could think that because of a bad reputation and being on welfsre, I never got married and thus wasted my life.
In Pistol Whip VR, there is a song that goes, "What a waste, what a waste, What a waste of a pretty face, What a waste."
The premise is because I never got married that I wasted my life. However, the critical faculty is insidious. If I got married once, she would in some way been the wrong wife and I got trapped by her and her family and her weird friends also become my extraneous friends. If I got married a few times, then each and every one of those wives were somehow, in some way, wrong. Because Murphy's Law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
No one wins under the pernicious egregious physics of this dimension. The best thing I could hope for in my case in an early reprieve.
One tends to place the dead on a pedestal and take the ones who are alive for granted. While we see those who have departed as more majorly than us, they see us as just as majorly as them and that is quite something. The understand our future, where we're heading. We are just as major as them to them, and right now we are still in the garden phase of existence who will one day be pruned and taken to the farmers market that is the afterlife.
