Yeah I'm still alive, and yeah I'm about 10 days overdue on my scheduled writing check-in and maybe I'll have time to do that this weekend and maybe not. I've gotten really fucked over this year because normally final projects are due during finals week (ie. the week after the last week of class) but this year 2 out of my 3 classes decided to have ( Read more... )

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. OH MY GOD.

I GOT INTO NYU!!!

I. I can hardly even breathe. :DDDDDD

Made it back to Pittsburgh in one piece. Surprisingly no flight delays despite the horror stories I'd been hearing from friends flying to/from the northeast this weekend. I guess tacking that extra day on my Spring Break to save money paid off in more ways than one!

Anyway, so today yesterday was interesting because I woke up and decided I wanted ( Read more... )

I have a follow-up interview with the game company on Friday ( Read more... )

This is an excerpt from a prose piece I've been working on for submission to the Asian interest magazine on campus here, a (currently very rough and unfinished) series of autobiographical vignettes about growing up without a concept of race.

Oh my god. Oh my god.

Video Games Live was eargasmic.

It was so cool! So nerdy but so cool! I almost cried during the Assassin's Creed II set, where they had a soloist and a choir and everything. (They also showed a cutscene that I don't think was even in the game? Must find out what it was!) They played "Liberi Fatali" from FFVIII which was ( Read more... )

So I finished Mass Effect 2 last night. Considering I started on Friday afternoon and put in 50 hours of playtime total... I'd say that was pretty fast. These snow days have been quite convenient. 8) I'd been seriously pissed off that the one time I actually care enough about a game to preorder it so I could get it immediately when it came out, ( Read more... )
