New Spot

I recently moved into a new apartment and I am thrilled to be out of my old one. My old place had terrible wooden cupboards, bug problems, crappy sinks, crappy everything. The only remotely decent thing in that house was the stove and refrigerator.

This new house is a lot better. It comes with its own microwave, the cupboards, although wooden, are actually usable; there are no bug problems (an exterminator comes in once every month--good stuff); the carpet is worth stepping on and the rooms are decently sized for a 3br, 2ba.

In my last place, I pretty much lived out of boxes. For this place, I am actually going to make myself at home.

On another note, Firefox fails on my work computer. They recently "updated" my computer and whatever they have done has heavily affected my browsers.

I tried uploading more pictures but there is a strange internal error going on. Oh well. That's a small taste of what I'm living in. Maybe more pictures to come?

Tough Research

At work I have to create several videos that spotlight different majors at my alma mater, San Diego State. The idea is to have a sort of "reality tv" feel to it condensed into a 3-5 minute video. This is my hardest video to date and rightly so. The research I have to put into this project is immense and this is only a short video. I can't imagine what it would be like if I was doing a 2 hour feature.

Right now, finding this has been fairly slow and uninteresting. I come across the same type of topics all the time such as "so-in-so received this award," or "so-in-so did this," and other things like that--nothing that really sets anything apart. In Jesus' name I start finding stuff cause this is getting hardcore boring.

For the past few weeks, my friend and I have been planning a VGM (Video Game Music) oriented website that will review, preview and essentially provide a hang out spot for VGM lovers--maybe even those who want to like it.

The idea came during a boring day at work and I had the idea come to me during an entertaining text conversation. If I had still conversation with me, I would post it but I don't. That's the downside of having limited space in a phone. It pretty much looked like this:

Friend: Listen to this.

Me: Hm. Interesting.

Friend: It is. Better than that?

Me: No but it's unique. Hm... You wanna start a site?

Friend: Yes! That's an excellent idea.

And now the site is development. It's actually just a blog, for now but we will expand as people come into the site and it will demand a forum.

In the meantime, I will keep working out details and keep the fire lit. Doing that takes a lot of discipline but thankfully, I practice discipline in a lot of ways. I'm really looking forward to working with my friend on this and creating a community of VGM lovers to talk about this stuff. Good times await.
