It's a good thing the American school system doesn't have the work ethic of our Post Office. All that to say that snow and sleet and hail are responsible for me having a very nice week so far.
I think it's about 2 to 2.5 feet (in meters, that's like… what, 0.6 to 0.75?) depending on where you stand. This is the worst snowstorm we've had in our little patch of godforsaken wilderness (known to the layman as "Idaho") in twelve years.News On Things You Should Actually Care AboutNothing to report. Unless you count the state of the union address.Creative ThingsI've been writing some songs that I actually like, and recording pieces of them. You can't hear any of them, though.I haven't really worked on anything GM related in about a month. I just don't feel very interested in it these days. I dunno; I still like the idea of making games, and I have some projects that I want to finish and some ideas I want to flesh out, but I think I might be on my way out. I don't have that much free time these days anyway. Maybe my interest in it will come back, in time. Who knows. I hope so, but oddly enough I'm not really in control of that.Misc.I've been very frustrated with my fellow man lately (I almost shudder to call some of them that). People seem so very quick to accept mediocrity, to seek acceptance, to be like everyone else. There are so few people I know who are worth spending time with, and half of them are related to me. It's depressing.Also, I was disturbed to learn, recently, that television viewership has been virtually unaffected by the writers' strike. I knew people were undiscerning, but is it so bad that they don't even care if their television is scripted or not? Maybe I'm an anomaly, but I don't find reality shows even interesting at all.So it turns out that the best thing you can do to help the strike end is turn off your TV.Happy January 29th, everybody.Oh, also, my favorite band (Sun Kil Moon) is releasing a new album in April, called April.
What I would give for that much snow!
-ElmerniteI have a similar relationship with my sister, who I get to see again soon. I think people just have to learn to accept their siblings for who they are to get along. Then again, I never have had a longterm contact with my sister since we don't share a father
Anyways, do share any doings of GM you do happen to get at one point or another. Or no point, those creations are nice tooOh, well that's even better.
My two older brothers are some of the only people I've ever met with whom I share basically every interest. We're all songwriters (both of them better than me and distinctly more prolific), we all have scarily similar senses of humour and taste, we're all very attached to Super Smash Brothers for Nintendo 64 and various Mario and Donkey Kong Country games for Super Nintendo. It's all very nice, except that both of them are away at college while I'm stuck in a high school with few people I like much. (I'm sure a normal school would be even worse, though, as this is a small one [still public, though] for kids of a slightly higher caliber.)What if we want to see the transition of the development towards it becoming what you want it to be, though?
people live in idaho?
im glad to learn that viewership was unaffected. that just means that the writers should get their jobs back before new ones come and take their place for the original salary.
