Well, I've got more pictures.
From the 30th:
And yesterday:
Things are looking pretty good. The swelling's going down every day. I'm still eating mostly liquids. I recently started eating Lipton's Italian Sides because they use pasta that's small enough for me to swallow without chewing. So some diversification of my food is excellent. I actually got sick of milkshakes. Never thought that could happen, but it did.
Had two appointments today. One with the orthodontist. He didn't really do anything, just looked around. He said it was too soon after the surgery to go changing wires and bands and shit. He wants to give me a couple more weeks to recover before he causes me more pain. What a nice guy. Second appointment was with the surgeon himself. He was happy with how things are going, but added another rubberband to one side of my face. So now I have three rubberbands to contend with.
In other news, I truly started learning guitar today. I had messed around before, but I actually sat down and learned and practiced hardcore for a couple hours. I intend to do this on a regular basis. I have also set a goal (because they always help motivate me): July 4, Star Spangled Banner. Yeah, I'll make it.
In other other news, I'm writing a cel-shaded graphics engine. Why you ask? Why the fuck not? I figure I could use it in a game that's been brewing on the backburners of my mind. Plus, it's some interesting shit, especially some of the advanced techniques. It's all about taking lighting into your own hands and telling OpenGL to go fuck itself.
