Acen was fun this year, and aside from being extraordinarily tired, I’m none too worse for the wear. I have about two and a half hours of film to go through and encode, as well as a couple interviews with some interesting folks from Artist Alley.
There is no man on the mountain, no guru wise or otherwise experienced in the tumultuous rigors of life. Scouring the world through countless eons would reveal no monk or hermit overflowing with enough inner peace to admit True Knowledge. Here, there is only silence from beginning to end, Alpha to Omega, creation to oblivion. So speak the words on the Night’s Watch, that sense fretful questioning. Be those blessed with infinite abundance, so are they cursed equally complacent and unfulfilled.
There are currently a few fire trucks, police cars, and a helicopter outside my apartment right now. Not sure what’s going on, but it can’t be good… I’ll post more if/when I find out what the hubub is about.
Update:
My 3-year-old laptop, until yesterday, was still running the pre-installed version of Windows XP. After years of upgrades, driver changes, codec updates, and so on, it was getting somewhat crufty. I decided: enough is enough, time to reinstall! Since I was formatting everything anyway, I figured it might be time to attempt installing Ubuntu on a laptop.
I’ve finally posted some videos I took of myself playing DDR, and a bonus of Ryan totally pwning the machine at Miller Time Bowling. For those who haven’t seen me play in a while, yes I’m a lot better than you remember, and no I’m still not at my desired skill level.
