after playing a bunch of games this year and watching even more let's plays I so badly want to try out game design and story/art direction but that requires going back to school if I'm really serious about it and want a good, solid education. the best school for that is in LA, which is super convenient but also terrible, because the last thing I ( Read more... )

I'm so tired of all the Things that are Happening in the world. I might just ignore everything and focus on what little pockets of good we still have. it's not the healthiest coping mechanism, I know, but it's the only one that will keep me sane. this week's South Park was wonderful and cathartic and just what I needed. tonight's SPN was wonderful ( Read more... )

I complain about work a lot. I'll be the first to admit it. we run marketing campaigns and sometimes consult for other agencies as well, which means a shit-ton of pandering, which is so not cool. and the creative department always gets saddled with so much of the work. but there are good things too. which is what I want to focus on today. I don't ( Read more... )

it rained for about an hour tonight which was so very nice. it's still technically raining now, except it's so faint that I find it hard to qualify it as actual rain. I miss actual rain. except I just washed my car earlier this week and now it's gonna get all gross again ( Read more... )

Work is being awful. I'm not sure why I've felt so shitty about it all week when I've definitely had much worse projects in the past, but I just feel so drained. The receptionist/personal assistant to the CEO is gone today and Friday so I have to take over her duties as well. Wish I could have gotten more than two days' notice ( Read more... )

This week went by quite quickly. I haven't been on Facebook for more than a few minutes at a time to message a few friends, and Tumblr only long enough to check my tracked tags and maybe browse some pretty artwork or design blogs. Life away from social media is so great ( Read more... )
