I met Richard, when I went to get a warrant of fitness for my car. He showed me his PSP and challenged me to play this game called LocoRoco and it is unbelievably a weird game yet so cute and very addictive. It’s a puzzle game so to speak, you’re this big blobby like thing and you have to move your way through the world, yet there’s more to it than that, you’ve got to tilt the screen to move your little blob about or shake it to make them jump, and sometimes you’ll find yourself too big to fit through a gap so you break it up into smaller blobs. It’s very challenging and lots of fun I have to admit. The cute thing about it is that they sing this very strange song, but it’s cute at the same time. If you’re a lone blob he sings by himself but if you break your blob into multiple blobs they all sing as a group. I keep on using the word cute, since I am out of my vocabulary. Am I being childish?

This is Paihia, part of Bay of Islands. Love this place, since it is very peaceful, soothing and the beaches are still virgin. Credit to Ila as the photographer.
