"Quotes"

I think it would be super cool to write a "kid's book" that's entirely flash interactive. Like each "page" would be a normal looking kid's book "page" but you could click on various things and they'd do fun stuff. I'm already doing this basically, and the idea is cool, but I'm spending my time mostly doing it for silly internet things that are unsuitable for the world at large.

Even so, I think that despite the fact that it could be way awesome, it would get lost in the rushing internet waters and no one but my "monkey circle" would see it. So, maybe I'll just keep playing teh WoWz. *sigh*

Oregon Coast

Drove up the Oregon Coast with mom and Brian this weekend. Both Brian and I are originally from "the beach" so we really started to think about realistically moving back to the ocean. Of course, it'll take a few years, no doubt, but it's something to think about. We've reached that age, I guess, where we're having to actually thinking about where we want to exist in this world on a semi-permanent basis. Beaverton is nice, but a little to "City" for Brian.

Undead Rogue (cliche!)

WoW truly is an addiction. Even if not in the pure sense of the word, such as you can play it in moderation; you're not a 40 year old, single, 300 pound man living in his mother's basement kind of thing, it still takes over. For instance, whenever I do play WoW, it's the only thing I play. When I didn't have it, I played through Zelda: Twilight Princess and Windwaker. I also played some Gameboy games, and started playing Oblivion. However, since I fired it back up, I've completely forgotten about my 10-15 games waiting in the wings to be played. Games I just HAD to have at the time of getting them, and are now collecting dust in the closet.

I just recently picked up Kingdom Hearts again (an hour ago). I've been playing it off and on since it came out, and I really have to finish it since I've heard so many great things about KH2. But picking up games after not having played them in months is extremely hard. Especially when you're at the end. We'll see if I can manage to keep playing it, or if the next time I've got the gaming urge, I'll fall back onto WoW again.

GREEN!

I bought "Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market" a couple of days ago. Just reading through the first few pages and already there's so many things I've been doing wrong. But it makes me already glad of this (sort of hefty) investment. Meanwhile, I just have to go on a bit about how green Oregon is. I can't get over it. Every time I drive down Hall, I'm blown away. I really don't think green like this existed in Idaho! All the way from a yellow green to teal. And not just out in the woods, but right in the heart of business districts even. I went to a health insurance lady yesterday and their complex is backed up against a massive wall of pure green. Just, wow.

Sleep and Phones

I think my brain has gotten really confused when it comes to sleep. It just doesn't know when the appropriate time to sleep is anymore. I sleep for four hours, wake up for two, sleep for six, up for 3, etc. etc. Is this a normal sleeping pattern for us when not restricted by work and/or school schedules? I remember that the native peoples in Typee did that. Cats too.

Today is phone call day. I'm going to get over my fear of phone calls and call as many people as I can. I don't know if I'd even be as nervous about it as I am if I hadn't cold called some random person once, trying to sell them a website, and when I did, oh my goodness, all the rage and hatred that little receptionist had inside seeped out in the form of a pure verbal venom when she told me no. I haven't made a call since. So, wish me luck!

Back to Sketching

Trying to pick up sketching each day again. I've got a bit of a pileup from the past few months, though not a huge one. I've also joined Facebook recently and will be trying to twitter again. Yesterday I had french toast and diced potatoes for dinner. <3 Brian!
