I am addicted to a game on the Palm called Lemonade Tycoon. It's a simple game (on the surface), in which you have to build up your own lemonade business by buying stock, advertising, altering your recipe and where you put your stall, etc. However, I think it's its very simplicity that makes it so addictive. It's so easy to say, 'Just one more day's play'... and an hour or so later, you're still playing! The trial version only allowed a month-long game... needless to say, I bought the full version straightaway, so now I can play the 'career' game, over a span of years, and really build my lemonade empire up into a colossal, world-conquering enterprise! (Well, not quite, but it doesn't hurt to think big...)
It's like Railroad Tycoon, in a way... but without the trains.

This morning was a bitterly, bitterly cold morning- the sort of morning where your hands feel as if they're burning, they're so cold.
Despite this, though, on the way to work I saw an elementary school boy wearing just a T-shirt! The Japanese believe that elementary school boys should be toughened up by wearing shorts and T-shirts all year round, and boys in shorts aren't at all uncommon, even in the depths of winter. But they're normally wearing jumpers and coats; wearing just a T-shirt is very rare indeed. I feel sorry for the little boy; I know when I went to Miyanohara Elementary School yesterday, I felt the cold even though I was wearing a T-shirt, shirt, waistcoat and blazer!
