Sticky Raspberry Murder. It's Delicious!

***

Blue Skies are not only pretty but useful exercises in clearing the mental cobwebs. You essentially converse and take many different ideas and things that may have nothing to do with your goal and use them to create, madness. Or, such as in our case, take a bunch of strange ideas and figure out how to make them a viable game.....

Joy.

Here is what my group, Justin, Jamal, and I, had to work with:

1. Gravity.

2. Sticky raspberry yogurt.

3. The smell of peach pie.

4. The thing he does with the newspaper.

5. “I like hats.” That’s what Donald said the day before he killed Sally.

6. On Tuesday, Margaret told me she liked the little oranges with the seeds better that the ones I bought. I hated her for that.

7. That idiot from corporate.

It may seem odd at first, I myself cried a little when I first saw them, but it got better. Why? Because the Blue Sky thing works! O.o

These are starting bases to greatness, taking one idea at a time or combining a few of them together and remembering to keep an open mind are key. Granted, it took my group about twenty minutes of bad jokes to figure this out but we got the ball rolling.

Seeing as our blogs were created separately I'll be following the blogs of my fellow group members until our next big exercise or our groups change completely.

Stay tuned for the ensuing madness.
