Well, I graduate in just 2 months! Well, that's when my grad ceremony is. Then still 2-3 weeks after that before I am actually done with diplomas and all. Still! Very hard to believe that after 12 years I am so close to being done with it :)
But, then I have to begin University. For those of you who might care (doubt any such person exists) I'll be taking general sciences my first year with a major in Bio, because it was the only subject that ever kept me genuinely interested and wanting to learn more.

Did You Hear That? vol 2 is finally seeing some momentum :)
It took me a long time to make sure all 9 spots were securely filled, but the final sound file was handed out about 3 weeks ago, and people can now animate. In fact I already have 4 parts handed in!
Hopefully that will be wrapped up and submitted somewhere in late June.
Also I'm having some extreme difficulties writing out a plot for this sound file.
Last year I feel like I copped-out with the wizard/robot thing. Too easy. This year I want to make something with alteast a little bit of a storyline.
I keep scrapping my ideas part way through the planning and storyboarding because I'm not satisfied with them. I better settle though, because I did this last year so I forced to rush at the end.
I have like 90% of it planned, with some animation because I like what I had planned so far. I just can't figure out where to go with the last 2 sounds....

I've thought it over, and I really hope to stick with my plan to quit my job this Summer and just do Flash. I thought it was kinda iffy, or that I should atleast stay somewhere part-time. But this is probably my last Summer to just take it easy. After that it's off to the real work world each Summer.
So I have atleast 3 games lined up that I plan to work on. I figure without a job, I will have plenty of time to do the art work for these. I'm starting with what I think is the biggest project so that I can kinda bang off the others if I start running out of time.
And if things go way smoother than I think they will I have up to 2 more game ideas that I can work on after that!!
I don't want to shift 100% to just doing games, so I do have up to 4 movies that I plan on working on inbetween games.
Now you see why I want the full Summer to myself? I have far to many plans to be able to get everything I want done!!

Other random news.
I decided to give ChatRoulette a try. I was on it for about an hour. I think in that time I saw about 20 strangers beating it. So that's about 1 too many stranger-dongs for liking.
I did end it all on a high note though when a dude on the acoustic asked me to request a song, and he serenaded me with Flake by Jack Johnson.
Thus I think will end my use of that site.

Twitter is used for sentence long updates, like "I just beat my head against a brick wall for seventeen hours because I'm a fucktard"
