Yeah, so I haven't completely finished updating the website yet, but I have my excuses! And here they are:

- I've been quite sick the past two weeks. I have a bronchidal infection that basically means I'm coughing my lungs up every couple of hours. It also makes it impossible to sleep unless I dope myself silly with NyQuil, which means I've been extra-tired lately. I got some antibiotics in the hopes of getting better soon, which is highly unusual for me, since I hate taking pills or drugs of any form. But at this point, it's a better alternative than coughing for a month or so.

- Finals have hit me like a ton of bricks, and I have several large projects that will require many, many hours to get them done on time. None of them I'm particularly excited about, I just need to get them out of the way. This includes the very last Great Books paper, thank you Lord...

- I started playing Final Fantasy X, which was a big mistake. >.<>

Some random news and thoughts of the times:

- Acchan was extraordinarily awesome and bought two *metal* DDR dance pads for our continued exercise and enjoyment. Now we will no longer rip the cheaper plastic ones to shreds on standard and heavy modes! And speaking of heavy...those pads weight a TON! But yes, now many of us are doing lots more DDR-ing, and hopefully getting in shape along the way.

- Went to go see Mourning Becomes Electra yesterday (as suggested by the previous post). That was a *very* long play, and that was after they cut out several scenes from the original text. While the sets were quite nice considering their limited space, some of the acting could have used work, particularly in the fake accent department. I would write a longer review, except I just wrote one for class and I'd rather not have to repeat it.

- So I heard in class today that Adobe is going to try buying out Macromedia. Great. Now we can all buy Macromedia products with half the quality at twice the price. I really hope that merger doesn't go through. I've already sold my soul to Disney; it'd seem sort of redundant to have to do it again with Adobe.

Operator status: Kinda busy tonight, and I'm losing my voice. Not so cool.

Macromedia comphrehension status: 66% I haven't had much time or energy to learn anything new, except for the fact that importing pictures into Flash gets tricky. I'll have to work more with that, especially if I want to try meshing traditional animation with Flash.

Website reconstruction status: 95% Same as before. I'm hoping to get the rest done this week, assuming I get my other work done sooner than I anticipate.

Drawing: Same as before. KH fanarts, struggling with RSOM thumbnails, and various ideas for animations. I'd like to try animating one of the Dawnwalkers from Rob Galloway's screenplay from our class last semester. XD

Writing: I finished my KH fanfic, "Kingdom of Chaos"! Woohoo! XD The story could actually go on much longer, but I felt it was time to stop it where I did. This weekend I'll also be writing my last paper for Great Books...
