Shee-yat.
I have less than a week until Christmas now and I'm still working on presents. Augh.
Course Tim left this morning to visit his family on the east coast so I'll have a litle more spare time LOL but just as THAT happens they decide they need more help at the store. Go figure! Radio silence for like two weeks and then as soon as I've lost my best bud for two weeks they pop up. Actually that's pretty convenient. That and the fact that now everyone's back for break...
But that doesn't change the fact that I'm still scrambling to get gifts for people! And just my family, too.
Aside from Christmas presents, I've also started a new screenplay (just for fun one, it's not really 'meaningful' yet, still in the early stages but it has promise.) I've also got a painting to work on, a website to update, and (less creative) a video game to finish haha. I rented Tomb Raider: Legend for the PS2 on Saturday and I've got until next Saturday to finish it. I'm really cruisin' through it, though, considering I put it on medium difficulty.
Last night Tim and I figured out how to break a glass egg containing the corpse of King Arthur in order to snag a sword hilt from his dead fingers HAHA. It's amazing how video games defy all physics; in order to do what I just told you, I had to use my electromagnetic grappling hook to set a huge chandelier swinging in the direction of an old bell which was on the ground. I then had to drag half a cement sarcophogas 10 feet (she must be buff!) to a pillar which was broken off 10 feet from the ground, climb up both objects, then jump five feet to a massive cement counterweight for the bell to offset the weight enough to raise the bell so that the chandelier would crash into it and ring it. The resonance from the bell was apparently enough to break the egg with King Arthur inside. That was quite a victory.
Then I walked outside and there was a bigass sea serpent in an underground lake ready to tear me apart. I figured that was a good time to save and call it quits for the night.
Also recently discovered the Independent Film Channel. Kinda nice to see what people are making.
