This is absolutely the final Christmas season that I spend working retail. I refuse to be stuck for another year in this soul-sucking limbo between my financial and my creative obligations. I need to devote time to making a profit doing the work that is real and meaningful to me.
Errant thought. Deep truth.

My most notable flaw, as an audience(singular), is my susceptibility to a certain kind of hero(ine). I identify so aggressively with this character that their fundamentally fictional status loses any of its liberating relevance – to put it into more coherent words, the suspension of disbelief is sustained outside of the fiction and I might [...]

*Phew*
It’s so pleasing to see that things are moving.
When I haven’t posted in a while, I start thinking about all these things I want to talk about during my next post. The problem with that is after I think those thoughts and the moment passes, I forget what I had to say! I’m definitely the [...]

I finally found my groove on this Sound Design thing. My friends are far too kind to me, and infinitely patient. I can be a very impatient person, so I don’t really know why I deserve this. I’m grateful anyway. Thanks, Angel – like I mentioned earlier, you helped me put sound design into a [...]

I just haven’t had the spirit to post these days. Working on Sound Design, I feel like a child again. I become impatient and lose steam quickly. Brief moments of success and excitement give way to confusion and frustration. I’ve been hounded by a single thought, incessantly. If I give up now and find someone [...]

Today was work, and today was games. And a little bit of financial gain. This is my post, and the weekend lies in front of me like fertile soil. Bearing that I get enough sleep.
There’s a way to make this all work out. How does that go again? I’ll have to sit and think about [...]

Business as usual – closed the store tonight, opening the store tomorrow. I’m using the rest of the night to finish up some features for the tutorial. Once those are done, that should be it for programming, unless we find some new bugs, and then I can focus on additional asset-wise features for the tutorial [...]

We had fajitas for dinner tonight. Delicious.
I was thinking about posting this later today – after some much needed sleep – but I figured, ‘what the hey’, I may as well go ahead and post this now.
I’ve spent more or less all day making the tutorial more usable. Aside from multiple other small changes, the [...]

In conversation with Terry this weekend, I related to him my experiences with this blog and how it’s affected so far the way that I think and the way I work. It’s worth noting, maybe, that there has been an affect, despite doing this for only a short time. Which I find interesting. What I [...]

I find it hard to post consistently over the weekends, especially because the working and waking hours become so eclectic that I lose track of when one day ends and the other begins. I’ll need to find a solution for this, because I don’t want to start making exceptions to rules like “only post once [...]
