Dark Time has gotten 150 comments, nearly all of them quite positive. I didn't have high hopes for it, but maybe SG can be convinced to buy the set. I won't lie, I'm a mite nervous, just because I have no freaking idea what to expect. Yeah, yeah, it's a game, don't worry, have fun, but still. Nobody wants to fuck up a game for everyone else, right? There was going to be awesometacular dinner with a friend this evening, but things didn't pan out. Hopefully next week, and I will wow her with my spectacular salmon and woo her with my... My whole self hurts from work today, which actually makes me a little glad that the dinner didn't happen tonight. Having the chance to just relax and watch movies and stuff (and not have to cook) was super. Apart from the aches and pains, I feel nearly refreshed. It freaks me out to think about sometimes, but I hope that this will lead to a good period of time in his life - he's been an angry young man for the last few years, and I'd like the chance to be able to talk to him again soon. I suppose it's because I've mostly filled my life with friends rather than family, and the current lack of close, personal friends right now is a little rough, so I'm trying to connect with certain family members to make up the slack?
Nick_Heretic is always there, being awesome, and I have a few others, but most of the folks I used to know have all gone off, gone away. If I'm lucky, I'll end up moving to an area with a high-concentration of SG members, eh? I should wrap up my computer stuff and get my head down.
Thursday MAY 10, 2007 @ 05:27 PM This should be a quick update, because dinner is going to be ready soon, but I do have a tendency to ramble, so you never know... There really is nothing like having to do someone else's shitty job that makes you appreciate your own. Describing what I had to do today is not really worth the effort, so suffice to say that it was exhausting, and my hands were blackened from all the waterseal that is used on the wood we use - I'm normally working with the hardware aspect. So I'm real tired, and my feet real hurt, but I really love my job. Mainly because I don't have to do the shit I did today - everyday. I got my copy of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (special edition, for PS2) today! It's very exciting, because I didn't expect it to come until Monday. So this means that my weekend is made of win, because I get to play my silly little girly farming game.
Saturday MAY 5, 2007 @ 09:16 AM I am very very proud of myself. I was finally able to find, and purchase, steel-toed shoes yesterday. love Hopefully they will be a little easier on my feet for work, as they are made for that sort of thing, but you never know. Either way, I have steel-toed shoes, and I feel pretty damn badass. There were definitley things that could have been changed/made better about it, but certainly it's that way with all movies, and I see no real reason to complain about this one. Today is graduation day here at SDSU, and many of my friends are doing that walking thing.
Nick_Heretic finally spend more than ten minutes with her.... The whole day is a big *squee* right there, because if there's one thing that is fun, it's having new things to cook with! Now if only I could get around to getting that bamboo steamer and such, I'd really be a happy womern. It's raining up here, which of course means that the world seems extraordinarily green and beautiful - another thing which makes me happy indeed. I love being able to sit at my computer and gaze out the window at all the trees and such that are just beyond my apartment. I went and bought a thing which I'd been trying (and failing) to convince myself not to buy, which is the Special Edition Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. It's on PS2, and as I was able to play AWL just after it came out (on GameCube, a system I do not yet own) I've craved it ever since. And right now all the games I own are really fun and all (I've been making some good progress in the Halo 2 campaign) sometimes I just want to milk some cows and plant some veggies and such. One day I'll pick up Katamari Damacy as well - probably when I have another paycheck that is sufficiently timed and I can afford another splurge. Or for my birthday, that's always a good time to do something nice for yourself. And, speaking of sufficiently timed paychecks, this one is particularly awesome. The only bill I have to pay right now is for one of my student loans - everything else beyond what I've already purchased can go into my savings. I haven't been able to put money into savings for a very long time, and it's also very satisfying to not have to live paycheck to paycheck, at least for the moment. For those that are curious, I'm still working on managing things in Flickr. Please be patient with me, as it is a very very very long process.
Wednesday MAY 2, 2007 @ 05:26 PM So, in other news, I had a couple of awesome folks message me today and let me know that my pics were posted on another website without my consent! Yeah, I know all about 4chan, and whatnot, but this was an actual amateur porn site, so there was some serious not-coolage going on there. Just so everyone knows, I sent an email to what I assume was the webmaster of said website and let him/her/it/whatever know what the deal was - I tried to be polite and businesslike and crap, so hopefully that bit won't come back to bite me in the ass, and hopefully the photos will go away soon. EDIT/UPDATE: The pics are gone, I recieved an email this morning. Hopefully, once I get my own website up and running (I'm really antsy and want to bug the nice gent that's kind enough to do it for me, but he's doing it in his spare time and running it on his own server, so I am not going to do anything to put on the pressure to him) this sort of thing will not happen much more - especially as all my photos on the website will be watermarked! Oh, and so, because a few people often ruin the fun for all, my photos on Flickr are now wholly private, so unless you've got a still-active guest pass, or if you ask for a guest pass really really nicely, and I really really trust you, you'll have to just be patient or find the pics on the site.
Nick_Heretic has his own stuff to unpack, go through, and find a place for, and because I still have a whole lot of stuff that never really had a good place to hang out to begin with. We're both really stressed out at the moment - there's a whole lot of stuff that we can do yet, but very little energy to do it, so it's pretty frustrating. I'll be happy to go to bed and come back to all of this a little more refreshed tomorrow. All in all, though, I'm pretty fucking happy, I won't lie.
It's got its problems, like how dark it is, but it also has some wicked awesome shots, some of my all-time personal favorites. I was totally going to write this whole long journal thingummy about stuff going on, but Mythbusters is really distracting and I can't remember what I was going to write about. The only difference is that now I am working 5 ten-hour days, rather than 4 twelve-hour days. My money situation is going to be a bit tight for a little while, because all my bills are due just before I'll get my next paycheck and such, but I'm not overly concerned.
Nick_Heretic moves in (finally got him to join the site, heh) things will be lots easier, because it'll be a lot more sharing stuff. Day by day, my apartment gets closer and closer to the way I want it to look. It makes me happy to come hope and see a bit of progress made, a bit more things packed up. I always sat on the arm of the couch, or on the floor in front at the coffee table. I think once the mandatory overtime at work lets up, I might start looking into the possibility of connecting with a photographer in the area - not really with a shoot for SG in mind, but just because I'd like to get in front of a camera again. It doesn't appear that there's anyone in the SG Photographer Hopefuls group around here that's willing to shoot with me - at least, I haven't had any responses to the topic I posted over there. It's hard for me to think of him being much older than, say, twelve, or whatever age he was when ...
