Hallowe'en dressup night at local goth club! I'm excited! MY costume is...almost done....
My portfolio is almost done too. I'm getting distracted right now listening to 75 Gir Quotes.

I'm not at school. And I'm not happy with myself. But I need money. So, that's the end of that.
So, I'm okay with this new design, except it doesn't want to work properly in Opera and there's something wrong with older versions of IE that doesn't allow popups or something. Or it might just be Luke's computer again. I swear, there's something inherently unstable about his comp.
So, we did the Andrew's family thing yesterday. It wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. I actually kind of enjoyed being able to fade into the background without having to answer a million questions, well a few questions a million times.
I was feeling very defeated last night. After a bad day at pool (I think I might need to take a bit of a break of something), I tried to come home and teach myself hwo to play StarCraft. All the boys are getting back into it (Well, some of them never left) and I'm convinced that I can be good at this game. It's very hard to learn tho, cuz there's so much shit going on. Anyways, after trying to beat this one campaign, like, ten times, I finally relaized where I was supposed to be going. Unfortunately, by the time I got there, there was umpteen million guys that I was supposed to kill and I just couldn't do it. Of course, my thoughts weren't this rational last night and I was jsut convinced that I suck at everything. So I went to bed.
I feeling much better about the whole situation this morning, and I think I'll probably give it another go in a little while (which is an improvement from my never wanting to touch the stupid thing again). I NEED to be somewhat productive today, so I don't feel too bad about missing school. Perhaps I put my two week old laundry away.

Look at that! I can do flash!
Enjoy. I'm going home.

I just received a communication (aka postcard) from the Professor (aka luke). I, Vodka (aka kelly), will transcribe:
I write this trapped in the metallic bowels of the M.S. ChiCheemaun. My only companions are automobiles and a particularly delapitated lorry. Also, there is loneliness. It is my other companion. Loneliness and MADNESS. These two, together with the aforementioned automobiles make up the full complement of my companions. Oh, and the lorry. I have nothing but these four to keep me company. At any rate, our plan was a disaster; the kaiser knew where we would be inserting into his Bavarian Castle/Command Centre and he had a team of Nazi gladiators waiting for us! Gao and I managed to dispatch perhaps 3 dozen before being overcome by gas. Gao kung-fued his way through a wall, and I have not seen him since. The kaiser has left me aboard this Canadian funeral barge, stripped of my satellite phone, my sword, and (curiously enough) my underwear. He has left me my rifle and a single shell; I expect that I am supposed to settle the matter alone. Ha! The madness just makes me stronger...stronger and CRAZIER! What the kaiser forgot to do was make sure that the lorry wasn't transporting jetpacks! (It is) I'm saving the single bullet for the man who has my sword! See you in the office on Monday.

Well, I guess it's been a while. Things are busy as always. School is done in 2 weeks, so it's crunch time. I just finished debugging a php shopping cart, and I started working on my portfolio yesterday. It took me a good 3 or 4 hours before I could come up with something that I actually liked. I really wanted to do the whole thing in flash, considering that I haven't really had the opportunity to make a website completely from flash before. Mission accomplished so far. I think it's looking pretty good.
I made a new game of pong, you versus gir. There's still some glitches, so I don't really think it's worth putting online, plus the thing is freaking huge so it takes a long time to load. I still need to get the importing other flash files (aka music) into the actual flash file so my download times aren't so long.
My money situation has finally remedied itself (kind of). My mom really pulled through for me on this one. I can finally buy some gas and not depend on Andrew to get to school and back and I'm FINALLY going to pay my 3 week overdue tuition this afternoon. Unfortunately, as soon as I get money, I'm kind of out of work. There's not enough to do at work right now, so we'rek ind of layed off for a week. I don't know if I'm even going to get much of a chance to work there anymore, because I finish school on Nov 5th, and I've got surgery on Nov 11th. And then I need to find a better job to support my ass. Very sketchy stuff. All very up in the air. I hope things just kind of fall into place, but I'm not betting on it. I'm thinking I might need to get some kind of factory or call centre job until I can find something in web design. I can always freelance, but I think I'd like a little more security than that. Who knows.

One more thing...
I'm stealing this link from Snyder.

Well, Thanksgiving Weekend was a busy one. Andrew and I did the dinner thing at my house on Sunday, and unexpectadly at his place on Monday. Everything went fairly smoothly other than some small issues with duck fat roasted potatoes. A lot of drinking, Bond, and poker. I won a couple of bucks on Monday night and consequently missed school on Tuesday, but I didn't feel like I had enough of a long weekend, plus a magic eight ball told me it was okay to skip school. (I like to let fate decide my course of actions.)
But, everything is back to usual today. Some very loud Pantera woke me up this morning and I managed to get to school on time (Aka before everyone else). Back to work tonight too. I'm getting pretty worn out from the busy schedule, but class is over on Nov 5th and for there I have no idea where I'll be going. Hopefully not to Toronto and back to Guelph every day anymore. Or at least if I have to do that, then I won't have to rush home to work a 5 hour shift when I get there. Best not to worry about it for now, though. Just going with the flow...

Tracey and I just walked home from work, and my fingers a little swollen from the walk, but I needed to archive so I thought I'd update while I was at it.
So yes, Tracey and I walked to and from work today, about 2 and a half hours all together. It's part of my recent attempt to be HEALTHY! IT's harder than it seems. Tracey's pedometer is clocked at 17 600 steps. So ROCK, ROCK ON!
It's been a pretty crazy week. I feel like I've been in a little bit of daze. Brain slightly overdriving, but slowing down with the long weekend approaching (that's Thanksgiving in Canada for all you Americans out there...). Long weekend will hopefully include:
- Sunday dinner at parents house
- poker on saturday
- excessive drinking somewhere on Friday night
- pool on sunday, followed by more drinking
All in all, I plan on being very hungover and sleeping during the days.

I have to go home, but I thought I'd throw this online. I've been working on 1 player all day and stupid while loops won't work. Hopefully by next tuesday....
So for now, find a buddy and PLAY PONG!
