Day 253 of San Diego

I helped mom around the house for two hours today.

I vacuumed, cleaned the cat litter, folded clothes, emptied my room's garbage, filed receipts, added up taxes, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, and washed off the sink counter. Tomorrow, I'll clean some more.

Afterwards, I watched Matt and Pat on TheSw1tcher channel. I'm watching them play Silent Hill: Homecoming. They love harking on it. They say there aren't enough objectives - it's mostly a "straight line." I agree with them. There aren't many puzzles and the game isn't sometimes clear on what to do next. However, when Matt and Pat begin harking on the animation and details in the game, I have to disagree. Silent Hill: Homecoming is from 2008. I think the details and animation are decent. I know if I compared the details and animation to current console video games, Silent Hill's Homecoming details and animations aren't up to par. But like I said, Silent Hill: Homecoming is from 2008. I think Matt and Pat should realize that first before complaining too much on the subject...

When I was through watching Matt and Pat, I watched The Birdcage with mom. We had fun remembering the days of always watching The Birdcage on VHS. It was wonderful to see Robin Williams in action. I couldn't help but think about the actors who acted beside him and how their reaction was to Robin's death. I'm still mourning. I can't imagine what it's like to be a close friend and/or family member dealing with the loss of such an unforgettable person.

I watched the Emmy Awards at five. I read about the event broadcasting a tribute for Robin Williams. Billy Crystal hosted the short and sweet memorial. I teared up. Billy's words were perfect. Especially the ending when he said, "... It's very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives... For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy... [His] beautiful light will continue to shine on us forever. And the glow will be so bright, it'll warm your heart. It'll make your eyes glisten. And you'll think to yourselves: Robin Williams. What a concept."
