Slow, but Steady

Blog Blog Blog. I totally forgot I had to blog today. Not really feeling it today.

Anyways, Thanks to James I am now fully submerged into Conquer again. James and I pulled a long night last night reviving the game and getting my mind back into the Conquer mindset. I'm making progress on it. I worked on it today for a good hour or two. The only good thing about not having a job right now is having all this spare time to work on it. It is my mid-summer project. I hope to complete my latest set of goals/changes on the game and have it ready for testing trials in a week or two. Probably some time after the 4th of July. We'll see. My pace on Conquer over the past 6 years has been about as fast as Starcraft II's completion.

I went to the lake the other day. I hadn't been to the lake in a good long time. All I did was sit and eat Albertacos with work friends, but it still counts.

The power of the earplug is so immense it glows.

Maybe yes

maybe in some of my free time I can work on a script for a movie that could be made at the lowest level of production.
but it would be sci-fi. i love me some sci-fi. I have one really good idea but i would need an old russian or german guy. well not super old just 50ish.

alright people. I could find you pictures. I could find you videos. Instead I leave you with nothing........but this!

One Sunday

I have not done a Sunday post in a very long time. The only reason I am posting today is because I have a video to post. It has been a very lazy day for me and I was doing a little cleaning. I found a half full can of silly string and well...you know how my mind works so...yeah.

June 27

My parents are off to Yosemite, so the house is mine until Tuesday. I feel like I'm not taking full advantage of the situation, but I'm just so unprepared for this much freedom! I should do something. That much I am certain of.

I haven't been drawing which is bad. I don't have any excuses.

I just realized I own a blacklight. It was passed down to me by my sister, and I've never used it. Maybe I should do something that involves a blacklight. Hmm. This is possible.

El Nino is coming! Hell Yeahhs boyz. Betta get yo galoshes ready.

I vividly remember the last El Nino. Watching Pokemon in the rain.

Those were good times.

Before my Visual Storytelling teacher left halfway through the semester, he read to us a couple of his favorite poems. I personally liked this one the best, and I think it's worthy of sharing on the blog

Especially the last two stanzas. I wish I was that talented of a writer. It would be a worthy goal.

Summer of the Beach

I've been doing good on my goal for this summer which constitutes going to the beach a lot. I went to Huntington beach on Wednesday and I went to Rivera today. The beach is just the perfect summer getaway. The water was surprisingly tolerable today. It was nice but then after 20 mins or so my arms and chest get really cold and I have to get out. The other bad thing about going in the water is it washes off all your sunscreen. I re-applied only once and that turned out to be a big mistake. My legs and nose got sunburn a good amount. Melanoma here I come! I am also excited that my pool is finally up to speed and is ready for action. I've been looking forward to swimming in it for quite a while. Summers of the past I only used my pool a couple times over the summer. Which is sad since my pool was always so nice. This summer I have changed and I plan on using it a lot. I have it so I might as well use it while it is open.

As seen on Facebook:

Beach castles are awesome.

Another Yosemite me pic:

Ready for Half Dome

I've got the Linkin Park Transformers 2 song stuck in my head. I heard them play it at least 3 different times during the movie.

Seen things

Another day. I wake I work I wonder.
Actually last night I went to see TRANSFORMERS IMAX 10:20. We were FIRST IN LINE! And boy did we dominate that line.
And it looks like it will be another busy weekend.
As for Transformers....let me give you a review:
Awesome Robot destruction!!!! + Amazing CGI + a weak weak plot.....i.e. matrix of leadership....+ Funny/fun humans= TF:RotF
And that is what I call a movie review.
Also I am happy that Away We Go is coming to my theatres tomorrow. I think I'll be seeing it As soon as possible!!

Anyways...thats all thats been going on movies wise. I did hear that Michael Jackson died today. Which is sad. its sad when people die. Plain and simple.

And then theres the whole thing with North Korea going on. Will Kim Jong Ill just DIE ALREADY!!! seriously!

*_-

On a Yosemite note....my flip cameras are being mean to me. I tried to download all videos to the computer but they would not allow it! so now i have to find the ones that didnt make it on and get them! then we can start editing!!!
its on my list of things to do. eventually.

ok ok. b log out.

June 24th, 2009

I recently watched The Hunchback of Notredame (kiddie Disney version) and it's re-made quite an impression. It's funny- the animated movies I didn't like so much as a child I now find much more intriguing. For instance the main villain



is so wonderfully evil. And not weird dark magic evil, but human evil. It's very enticing.

Speaking of enticing



my my.

That isn't to say the movie doesn't have it's faults. I didn't really like the captain, I didn't like how the Hunchback doesn't die or have some sort of resolution other than his woman getting jacked, and voices were mehhh.


But that's just me.

Speaking of me:

I went to visit Hearst Castle. It's gorgeous, you should go. Also, (I don't think I've mentioned this on the blog yet) but I am 19 now. Which meanss...nothing. But then 20! and then 21! and then it's all downhill.

I don't have a positive position on getting old(er.) I've spent so much time picturing myself as a High School student that even being a college student is a stretch. The thought of being an adult seems so unappealing.

Maybe that will change as I become an adult. I'm such a hypocrite, it's disgusting.
