You know, when I used to hear that

Morning Musume had gone down in quality, I would grudgingly agree.  Until I suddenly realized, wait …

TOP! (‘03 Concert)

TOP! (‘08 Concert)

I keep forgetting they used to suck at these kinds of songs. Oops. (And talk about awful 03 costumes and awkward intro.  And the poor excuse for a dance.  Yikes.)

New theme, edited posts, and an official launch.

My dev blog.  I have some really old posts there, but it’ll get updated far more as the year progresses.  I used to think, “What could I talk about?”

Pffff, yes, and now there is just too much.  When did my memory get so bloated?

In all reality

in-all-reality

I wonder how sad you make yourself, versus the sadness you’re thrust into.  Is it really more satisfying to be unhappy your entire life?  Is it more fulfilling?

Maybe I have questions about the integrity of your character, but it’s alright.  There really are too many inconsistencies for me to be happy with your life’s perceptions.  And I don’t know which ones you really believe.

Maybe it’s this sort of pompous negativity that made him leave you.

Maybe that’s why you’ll never accept anyone else as his replacement.  It’s hard to fill the shoes of a celebrity.

Maybe this is the most anti-growth love can be.  What could you teach him about happiness?

UGH ONE MORE EPISODE

ugh-one-more-episode

until Kimi ni Todoke is done.  No more waltzing around; HURRY UP AND GET HITCHED.  Man, I thought they might do well and just finish the hitching this episode, so they can spend the last one showing a year later or something.  Wishful thinking.

Eating now.  Sleeping more.  Getting rest.  Need to apply.  Need to work.  NOOOOOOOOO

What I feel programming does to you.

GDC 2010

gdc-2010

So, here’s a quick update before I go back to scurrying around finishing work before tomorrow’s GDC start.  All of the main conf. events are Thursday and on, so I’m hoping I can get some time to relax before the huge ahhh!!  everything’s falling, here’s my resume, and my business card, what??  Hi!  My name is Jessica; I love games!    Here are some pictures of the place I’m staying at; we’re at the Wyndham Canterbury (much roomier than before, very cute):

There’s a blender, and a microwave… a dishwasher, dishes, sink … but no oven??  Interesting, but I’ll bite.  I like the fact that we have these things in the first place.  And there are two TVs; one in the bedroom, and one in the living room.  But this is basically what it looks like.

Tomorrow sounds like a good day to pick up some things and pass some cards around.  Hopefully I’ll be able to bump into Tom and Alex as well.

Until then..!

My sleeping schedule

my-sleeping-schedule

is pretty much nonexistent.  And GDC’s next week.  Oh!  What a busy life.

Looking forward to good food, great parties, and suave devs.  Much fun to ensue–

–and.  There will actually be SUN there!  Sun will be amazing.  And if only I meant Annabel, but I really do mean the bright, warm, and shiny kind.   Definitely not soy sauce.  Hah!

I’ll take lots of pictures.  Looking forward to taking some; they’ll probably be the few things that I adore while I wait for my next summit or something.

And if any of you remember me meeting up with some H!P fans at AX, they live in San Fran.  Tom’s going to be showing me around, lovely lovely.  Eating dinner with Ben and Evan; exploring San Fran on my own??

I’m posting this all at 5:57.  I must be nuts.  Or bananas.  Guess where I learned how to spell that?

In other news, anything by Fluxus is instant gold.

Winterplay jam sessions

winterplay-jam-sessions

Are always pretty pleasant as relax time music. Looking forward to some more releases.

And since formatting’s silly, I’ll talk a little more.  Ordered some notebooks like my previous one on Jetpens, but turns out I got the dimensions wrong (go figure.)  They’re more Moleskine size, so I’m not complaining.  And it’s a 5 pack, so I won’t be running out any time soon.

Berryz Kobo fffffffff

berryz-kobo-fffffffff

What a hnnngh PV to end my midtermx2  (I could talk about the material forever, but you don’t want to hear about data compression and image processing, really!) and final English paper #1 to turn in.

I swear I’ll post something that’s not idol-pop some day.

Just got

just-got

a new copy of the ESV Study Bible (links to the hardcover, versus my soft one.)  I have the regular version, but since this one in particular has been often mentioned by the head pastor of our church, I decided to pick it up.

I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about the history behind the Bible (and eventually learn that making excuses against it with the Apocrypha is absolutely ridiculous.)  Translation, editing, and additional interpretation and clarification is done by a ~100 man group, consisting of your usual bright theologian minds from Cambridge, Liverpool, Oxford, Fuller, King’s College, University of London, etc.

There are even pictures!  Frequent maps and items of Old Testament worth, it is highly detailed.  It promises to be a very clear and insightful read–and if you know me, you will know how I adore the succinct modern English employed in the ESV translation.

I am probably the only one on this blog that is excited for this kind of thing, aren’t I?  But, it is nevertheless something worth sharing.
