No sleep 'till.......
You know the rest!
Didn't get more than an hour of sleep last night. I just laid there all night thinking about things I shouldn't have been thinking about. Getting angry and then trying to calm myself down by thinking about my thesis. Then I got far too involved in that, and my mind just continuously wandered. I was so tired from the restless night, I didn't start shooting my portfolio until 2pm today... I was going to try to get my print order in so I would have a copy of the portfolio to mail to Pratt tomorrow... Now I'm going to have to wait until the 4th to mail it, and I'll be overnighting it, hoping that it gets there in time. Fuck. That's one school I really want to get into, too.
I spent another New Year with BJ. This time blowing stuff up and spending 6 or 7 hours in the cold. It was lots of fun, but lots of driving and it was intensely cold, for lack of better words.
Right now all I want to do is go to sleep for the night. But I have to prep my portfolio so I can wake up and drive to Kingston to get shit done in the morning... My body is aching from sleep deprivation, but my mind is still all over the place.

I got Stalker: Clear Sky. It's a game released this year for PC, and... well, my PC is no slouch. 2.4ghz C2D, 2gb PC3200 DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8800 GTS 384mb video card, WD Velociraptor hard drive (10k rpm)... I can run Crysis near High. I have to run the game on the most minimal settings possible to get frame rates NEAR 40. Jesus Q. Christ... That annoys the crap out of me - the game has all sorts of delicious DirectX 10 goodies in it, but I can't see an ounce of them. The game looks worse than the original Stalker in order to run on my computer, yet the frame rates are about half that of the original game. Modern game programmers need to be shot.
