haphazard-like entry

Since progress on my induction into the ranks of game making is moving at a snail’s pace (thanks in part to the tangle of bureaucracy that proceeds the acquisition of a forty-thousand dollar loan), there isn’t much to write about on that front at the moment. Instead, I’ll muse about the goings on of the past several days and nights.

Sunday:

Cleaned (one of my favorite hobbies ::smirks cynically::) Put up some shelves. Re-rearranged some furniture in my room to open up the space and give me a little more elbow room. Things have been rather claustrophobic in here ever since the HDTV and it’s accompanying table moved in. Still looking for a lucky recipient to whom to give my ten-year old set. Then there’s the question of getting rid of my much-too-large entertainment center. At least most of my monster and femme fatale figures still have a home for the time being.

Monday:

All was peachy-keen. Called home whilst on my break and had my mom tell me to have my resume brought up to date. According to my aunt, there will be job openings posted late this week at the UM school of medicine. They’ll be looking for fast typists who have a background in medical services. Auntie M says that six or seven years of experience at Quest Diagnostics should put me on their short list of candidates.

Tuesday:

Founded another blog. Shot a vlog early in the morning just as the sun was peaking over the horizon. Since sunrise is close to my bedtime, it means that I have to shoot by-the-seat of my pants. Which is worth it since I photograph better under natural light. Plus my Canon works best in heavy light conditions. Such a natural restriction makes shooting on overcast days a bummer, since the images never come out as sharp and clear as they should. I was going to post it on my GameSpot page, but their uploader seems to be on the fritz. A not-too-uncommon occurrence at that site. With the sandman creeping up on me, I gave up on trying to upload the video and hit the sack for the day… Later that night at work, I fell ill (some stomach pain and nausea accompanied with bouts of vomiting) and passed out in my car. My friend, Nancy, after some urging from the brass, went to look for me. She found me and alerted the bosses who went ahead and gave the old lady a ring at three-thirty in the morning. Mommy-dearest drove up to Miramar to pick me up. Abandoned Rose (my Lancer) at her parking spot. Don’t remember much after that.

Wednesday:

Woke up a little shaky this afternoon and called out sick from work. They can make due without me for a night.

Currently:

Since Viddler was much recommended so I’ve uploaded Tuesday morning’s vlog there rather than wait till GS fixed it's goddamn video uploader… Seems I misplaced my phone’s charger. All the chargers for various wireless apparatuses scattered around my room will make finding it quite the chore ::sighs::
