I made my best friend angry, and I didn't even realise it until he stopped talking to me. Not good. A problem with IM is that you can't tell when someone's starting to get upset.

If anyone wants to work on a webgame with me, I need javascript, php, and graphics people. andy@sniqe.com

Food.

Yep. Thanksgiving involves a lot of food. It also involved a sport, I think with a ball of some sort. There was running and throwing and I ran a touchdown at the end. Anyway. Grandma's gonna teach me to make meringue cookies.. after we eat (again).

(hours later)
I have learned the secret of cookies. Be wary of my power!

Now, my brother insists on watching Arrested Development. Ugh.
This show is ... so dumb.

At My Grandparents.

I didn't get up till 12:30pm today, with the plan that my brother and sister-in-law would be up earlier and someone needed to drive tonight. Onward, to sleep and thanksgiving!

School? No. A Reasonable Fascimile, Perhaps?

I enrolled for technical school this morning. I was actually accepted in late summer, but have been busy looking for a job. I still don't have one. [http://www.sniqe.com/staff/andy/resume.htm]
It should go a bit faster than Drexel was doing, it's 15hr/wk, three days a week
this means I will be dog-tired tuesday, thursday, and friday mornings but am free friday nights. I think it's a good schedule. It's also all active training, no text books or similar junk. And they gave me a t-shirt; yeah, that was the clincher right there. Especially since it's like three sizes too large.
Doug and I were watching Jeff play Wind Waker, and he picked up a heart container, "You've collected four heart containers!"
Jeff says, "And his heart has grown one size this day."
It was good.

Anyway, I start in January. I'm looking forward to it a lot more than I would look forward to more classes in philly. There's just something depressing about philly, which makes me sad because it's my big city - the only one really close. Which of course just compounds the depression - I'm depressed that it's so depressing. Ow, my brainmeats.

I typed past midnight and had to adjust four fields in the timestamp... they ought to javascript it to keep it up to date, or even just have an option "no, do not change time & date" but noooo.
Not even the Almighty Google is perfect.

An alien.

That is all I have to say about that.

I am sending this from

I am sending this from my cell phone.

The Kittens are after my SOUL

They're trying to lick it out through my fingers. Help!

Additionally, I grabbed Samurai Champloo, it's pretty cool so far. Stuff gets cut up. Armored sandals. Stuff.

And food appeared!

Also I play games

I'm good at Quake. It's not through some kind of training or practice or some inner knowledge of the working of the game - though I certainly have enough of all of those. I've been pretty darned good ever since I started, mostly because I rarely miss when I shoot things. It's just a trait that's followed me from game to game, and tends to have a major impact on my performance in Quake and Quake-like games. When the game requires me to solve puzzles, I falter. If I need to be stealthy I can usually get by so long as, in the event of being noticed, I have the option of blowing things up real good. Even in Zelda, most of my success is from being able to survive, meaning I can wander around and figure out the puzzles at leisure.
When I play Smash Brothers, I spend most of the time using items - capsules, guns, mines, flowers , everything really - as projectiles. And I'm good at throwing items.
Maybe I'm a hobbit, they have a +1 to thrown items...

I also do other things

I do a lot of game design, but unfortunately I spend most of my time designing and rarely get anything into production. It would help if I had more people working with me, but no one wants to work with you unless you've already got something finished. Where's the sense in that?
