…okay, so, Easter was kinda lax this year for us. Not that I mind terribly much, nor is there much we could have done about it; we just finished moving (…really, we’ve hardly finished…) and J’Neil is still back in the Tri-Cities for school. She won’t be back for another week or so. It would hardly work to have any Easter celebrations around here, which are mainly catered to the children, without both of the children available.

Dinner persists, though, which is good, because I could use some ham.

Shelby dropped back to Benton City for her own Easter weekend; she could use the relaxation, really, the quarter has been a little frightening so far. Her family apparently has quite a lot of Easter enthusiasm, which shouldn’t really surprise me because their family has an awful lot of enthusiasm in general. Perhaps what should be surprising me is that they wait until holidays to show it. Well, actually, maybe they don’t do that, maybe that’s just when I take note of it… the Johansons are rather insane, but we like them that way, don’t worry.

Meanwhile, I start Physics 3 tomorrow, the class of electrical nightmares. Awesome. Apparently the math gets absolutely horrifying, which is okay with me, I loved physics math: it was actually pretty easy, all you needed to do was memorize which formula went where and the class became a piece of cake. The concepts are a bit harder though. (Which is bad, because that’s how you figure out which formula goes where!) The basics we went over at the end of last quarter didn’t seem so bad, really, it was just like gravity except the forces are pushing you away instead of pulling you. And the numbers were always way smaller, which we like.

I’m considering picking up a Gamefly subscription after the quarter starts and I get an idea what my work schedule will be like. Gamefly, for those who haven’t heard or seen ads for it, is a video game service that works exactly like Netflix: you put together a wish list of video games, they’ll send them to you, you play, then you send them back and they’ll get you the next one on your list. I THINK I will have the time to devote to video games - definitely here and there over an extended period - but I certainly don’t have money to buy every game everyone recommends to me. If I can play through them quickly enough with Gamefly, though, I’ll be saving a lot of money by just sending them back as soon as I’m done. It seems theoretically like a good plan, so, I’ll be trying it.

I’ll probably post reviews/thoughts on the games I get, if I choose to subscribe… mostly because it amuses me, and I need something to post about. Besides, I’m a video game designer, I’m entitled to look a little more obsessed than I have.

Speaking of video game design, I’m back in spriting mode. Maybe I’ll show off the three main characters’ sprites when I get the kinks all worked out. The basics are done, they look pretty sweet, just need to animate them a bit more…

I think that’s all that’s really on my mind for the moment. Really, this is just me trying to get my head wrapped around the idea of consistent updates. x.x

Happy Easter, everyone!
