Fun fact: I was not 5 years old when I did this. Oftentimes I get annoyed and just scrawl something and move on.
botanicula
You guys should know by now how I feel about artsy-fartsy video games. Botanicula follows the adventure of five botanical creatures (named Mr. Lantern, Mr. Twig, Mr. Poppy Head, Mr. Feather and Mrs. Mushroom) that are trying to save the last seed of their home tree from evil parasitic creatures that have infested their home (summary from wiki because I AM that lazy). Botanicula creates a really cool, interesting environment from its visual style to the soundtrack to the sound effects. It’s pretty relaxing too since it’s really just point and click – plus all the little characters and settings are so charming. If you buy it directly from them you get the soundtrack as well.
Amanita Design also did Machinarium, another adorable game (with a great soundtrack as well!).

Journals are places to explore ideas – even (especially) the nonsense ones. I just try to make myself laugh.
