Update since the new year
The short story is, I'm getting sick of Issaquah and work.
I rarely see Eric these days and we do get to talk and work out when we does appear.
Not much going on during the week. Work is actually pretty difficult for me because the project is very close to completely done. The small issues are addressed every few days and testers are doing everything they can to stay engaged. Yesterday they pushed each other around in office chairs while testing the game to see if they could simulate playing while driving. The management was unimpressed. Today the testers started a long discussion about trains and how much they like them. The Coordinator joined in on a conversation about very difficult games saying that Dark Souls is not a difficult game and neither are typical old school Nintendo Entertainment System Games because the require dedication. The true prize is Mastery of a game as in Battletoads or Ninja Turtles. There are some games where dedication is foolishness in my opinion, those last two being prime examples.
Regardless, who knows what we will resort to tomorrow to keep the crazy away.
This week started on an awkward note as I got to Eric's condominium and thought I walked in on a make-out session. Eric assureds me now that they were just watching a movie in their underware. :| I went to my room to give them space after uttering a comment about not belonging there. My actions acted as some kind of mental claymore on Lisa ho thinks I hate her now. Yay for drama! All things misunderstood by the parties involved. I hope we can all be adults and move on.
I took some more time this week to sink into math homework. I am so rusty I squeek, but it's actually fun when I start getting the hang of the lesson I'm working on. Too bad it so time consuming. It takes almost 2 hours to complete a chapter. By the time I get home at 6 and eat, then study, I should be going to bed.
As they say, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", so I played some games this week.
Almost 2 years ago I bought Red Dead Redemption from my friend Kieth and I played it for about 40 minutes, then I decided to crack open Fallout 3 Game of the Year to get into some of the DLC levels and Wednesday night disappeared. My chaotic neutral ninja of the Capital Wasteland left frag grenade surprises in many pockets, then exploded many heads and hearts with her bare hands.
My heart and mind are elsewhere this week as I played and worked. I felt as though things had a certain hollowness to them. I felt lonesome despite the people that are so close to me. Thursday night I spent the time calling everyone or chatting on facebook. Pulling in familiar and some distant connections. Reconnecting and talking about things has been my therapy this week. Monday was stressful for what seems like no reason.
Each day I'm getting closer to the future I'm trying to create. One small step at a time.
