Been a while, guys.

I took a leave of absence from LiveJournal for various reasons. I'll try to get back into the swing of things. My biggest issue is time contraints - I barely have the time to post, let alone read other people's entries. Not trying to ignore anyone, that's just the name of the game with this whole post-graduation "real life" ( Read more... )

Ever have a moment where you're just feeling sinister, cynical, and just downright awesome? Yeah, I'm feeling that right now. Like I could do so much more than just taking candy from a baby. Try picking it up from the stroller by it's foot and dumping it in the mud? Dude. That's eeeeeeeeeeeevil!

So I went home for a little bit, and so far it's been awesome! Right as I was nearing my hometown I stopped off and met up with my folks at a car dealership where my lil bro was shopping for an Audi. He fell in love with a car, but later felt it was too much for the mileage. We also went to a steak restaurant. Agius later showed up at our place. We ( Read more... )

Holy crap, you guys won't believe how packed full my day was. I'll walk you through it by the hour. Sheesh!

Overall, it was focused on our senior project group (the one making the Nintendo DS game) and how we had students beta-test it, and then presented our project at yet another competition.
