Gentle insomnia

Getting over the flu and awake at 5AM.  Smoking tonight made my mind race, as it often does, and into realizations.

Been a while since I've posted anything here....what up?

I spent like the entire weekend programming with a friend, trying to get stuff together for GDC 2010. If you've ever played electroplankton on the DS, thats sort of the closest game I can think of for what we're trying to make. Interactive/generative music.

This is all just really basic concepts/prototypes for the game but here's an idea of what we have so far.





On an unrelated note, school is starting today and I'm....well its hard to put how I feel. I can't honestly say that I'm excited about it, but its the right place for me to be, and that is good.

Scott, hopefully you will appreciate this!



I met Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy) today after an amazing talk he gave, and he custom autographed my macbook!

So since the pins broke off of my 300GB sATA drive, my 160GB IDE drive failed on my last week, and apple reformatted the harddrive in my laptop after specifically saying they wouldn't, I have officially lost ALL of my music.

Thanks to tasty breakfast food websites, I don't imagine it will be impossible to recover everything I had, but.... it's still a pain.


( I streamed my consciousness into a list of artists I need to recover )

I'm sure I left out alot of good stuff that I had. Help me! What else belongs here?

This is pretty awesome, and was most likely a result of my dream training that i've been doing by keeping a journal of every dream or nightmare that i have.

Earlier tonight I had what wikipedia refers to as a wake-induced lucid dream.  In other words, I went from a waking state to a sleeping state with absolutely no lapse in consciousness.  I closed my eyes and slowly fell into a dream...it was indescribably weird.  I got so excited when i realized what had happened that i immediately woke myself back up.  Oh well it was cool.

And really fucking .. weird

I accidently placebo'd myself.

I had been drinking coffee from this ziploc bag of coffee grounds that my mom gave to me a while back.  I had it like every morning for 2 weeks and it was REALLY helping me get up in the morning ( i was having very clear physical effects from it )

Today I went home to get more from the same bag, only to find it had a giant red label on the front that said DECAF

Fucking crazy.    

i have my most clear, organized, and logical thoughts in the shower.

I started running today.

I forgot how good excersize feels.

Mendel: Cards were awesome last weekend.  Mostly awesome because for the first time in my life i got to take money from you and tyler.  Seriously though, please call me 5415104474 or AIM me or LJ me when you want to play again, im totally down.

Mer: Have fun in california! please drive safe

Angelo: I'll call you tomorrow about superbad

Drew: Definitely still need to see you this summer.  I'm gonna talk to scott soon about when he wants to go out to bend and stuff.

Scott: See above.  Were you still planning on doing that?

Matt J: You leave in a couple days?  Any sort of gathering going on?  Midnight ihop?

Ariana: DAMMIT! You left and i didnt even know? That sucks, i didnt even get to say goodbye.  I'm sorry :(

All you other suckers:  whats up?

Warning: This post is probably longer than all my previous posts combined.

( The most insane and chaotic experience of my life. )

P.S. nicole if you read this (i'm gonna message you and liz later on facebook when i get internet access), really sorry that i cant make it to the fair, and sorry its at such late notice. I'm REALLY bummed about it because i was looking forward to it for soooo long but hopefully you can give the spot to someone else? mer had mentioned she wanted to go. Anyway, yeah, I will definitely still get to hang out other times this summer (unless you're doing youth corps too...BOO...we'll figure something out). But have fun!

Yahoo's new service lets you create and browse dynamic/composite feeds. Seems very cool, though i dont know how complicated the process of making your own is; however, the editor is totally GUI based.
