Man I really should have brought a gun instead of this oversized marker.
I am so bored.
I sent in an application to 1st Playable, a game studio in Troy NY. Its been just over three weeks since I sent it, and I'm doubting they'll ever get back to me - apparently, from a friend of a friend (who works there), I'm told they have no official person for checking the jobs email inbox. I've sent additional emails, but still nothing. I really want to work there, so you can imagine that I'm getting a tad edgy waiting for a response.
I'm going up to RPI next weekend and staying for a few days. First thing I'm doing when I get there is stop by the 1st Playable studio in Troy and (politely, of course) ask about my application. Hm, this means I'll have to get there on a weekday, so I'll probably have to arrive around noon on the 5th. After that, the only real plans are:
-- say hi to people I have not seen in a while
-- spend ~7 hours beating the Endless Setlist 2 in Rockband 2 with Jeff and Ryan
-- work like crazy on the game with Jeff
Did I say I was bored?
I've been playing a lot of Rockband 2 and Left 4 Dead (PC) lately, especially since I was horribly sick during the last two weeks, and was stuck in the house for pretty much the entire time. Left 4 Dead is a great game, and even greater when you're playing in versus mode with friends who are all in a Skype channel yelling at each other.
Hm, aside games, what have I been doing? Sheesh, not much. Between work with my father over the last few months and then being sick, my daily exercise has been neglected. I'd start it up again, but 8 miles on a bicycle in the current outdoor temperature would not be fun. Also ice. Also snow soon. I'd start using the bowflex again, but there's something strangely awkward about working out while your parents are across the room watching TV. I guess that's the downside of having that thing in such a small house - nowhere to put it. Also, my shyness extends in strange ways, as you all know. Honestly, I don't need to work on my arms or legs as much as my stomach and chest anyway. Being skinny is nice, but skinny does not equal good-looking automatically. A few days ago I was waiting for the shower to warm up (woohoo no water heater in our house, so the temperature varies a lot), and decided to do some situps. I was surprised that I could do 50, and then i did 50 more that night, and then I did that many again the next morning and night. Yesterday I did 100 both times, and another 100 this morning. I think I'll level it off at 120 or maybe 150 tonight and see how long I can keep it up doing this twice a day.
Oh good Lord I'm bored.
I'm doing an airsoft game on Saturday with the typical gang (Bob, John, Brian, the rest of December Regiment, the Dragon's Den crew, etc etc). Wasn't planning on it originally, but why the hell not. The cold was my big worry, but I can bundle up. Also I wasn't looking forward to using my M14, but Mike's letting me use the G3 SG1, and John's loaning me some better tac gear, so that I don't have to wear my rapidly-degrading entry vest which isn't even suited to outdoor combat. So yeah. I figure that all made sense to roughly.... none of you.
So yeah, there's that and the RPI trip on the 5th, but aside that I'm literally sitting here at my PC being booooored. Blargh. I'm going to sit here and listen to mashup bands for the rest of the night. Check out Girl Talk and Norwagian Recycling on youtube or wherever - good stuff.
