Time Flies When I'm Sitting Down
You ever have one of those days when the time seems to just fly by? I have no idea how it went from half past 4 to 11 o'clock so quickly. Logic tells me that it took over 6 hours but my mind and experience tell me something different.
On the bright side, I have managed to do some relatively constructive things during however long it was or seemed. I've got some writing done, unfortunately not for the MacTake (I still need to write about those new iPods), but a few standalone comedy sketches.
Speaking of which, if all goes according to plan, I should be able to make a couple of these things before the end of next week. One involves something for school and the other involves Superman 64. Every time I play that game, I find more things to laugh at. Anyway, the latter should be getting done tomorrow and I'll have to have the former planned pretty thoroughly by Monday morning if everything's going to go on schedule.
Plans for my other fiction writing are progressing... slowly. I'm still kind of swamped with school work at the moment but I just figure I can get up some momentum over the weekend (assuming time passes normally) and be ready some time next week.
I also just got a huge stack of books from Amazon today which I truly intend to read through. And these are some seriously thick books. Two of them are designed as textbooks* for university courses on video game design so I may or may not be able to follow them. I'll certainly be making a start on the one about building my own PC and I probably ought to do the one on Game Maker so that I can help the wee ones with it in Comp. club.
Actually, I reckon I'll go start reading one of those now, before I go to bed. I feel like I haven't slept properly in a week... which, school being what it is (early), I probably haven't. And it's now quarter to midnight as I write this, so I really need to get it posted.
Where did the time go?
*This literally just occurred to me: how the hell can you have a book without text? Isn't “textbook” a tad redundant?
