I can't wait...
I can't *wait* for classes to start up again. I'm losing my mind over here.
Summer is all well and good, but my god, it's long. @_@ I need some structure in my life!
Aside from imminent money issues, my life's pretty good right now. Aside from the bored out of my freaking skull thing. I mostly just spend my days reading or dabbling in little games here and there; Guild Wars, Secret of the Solstice, and clicking around Gaia for golds. I'm on the third book of the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix. Really awesome books, imo. Quite reminiscent of my lovely Tamora Pierce books, but aimed at an older audience.
I'm reading these cause I remembered I had a huge library at my fingertips. :D It has alleviated my boredom to a point. There is a point in which you seriously just can't read anymore. Though I can get a good 12 hours in a day, if the book lasts that long. ;) The good ol' MLK library also has an "e-book" section, where you can download temporary adobe reader files of whole books! While it's not really as convenient as having a book in your hands, it's still better than no book at all.
I'm still not drawing as much as I should, but I'm an avid reader of the Gurney Journey, so I get at least *some* intelligent art exposure every day. I have a feeling that will pick up tremendously with school starting. :P Aside from the art classes I'm taking, I have a tendency to do my best concepts, drawings and ideas when I'm supposed to be doing something else... like listening to English lectures.
I also have a very important entry for the HP Art Project that's due on the 30th. I plan to work on it this week mostly, cause I'll be busy when school starts. I got Book 4, Chapter 10. The chapter that Ron gets his dress robes. :P
In other news, I've been having fun with my MacSaber program. Being able to turn your MacBook into a lightsaber is <3. Being careful not to drop it of course. >_> They also have made something called "SmackBook" where you can just lightly tap the side of the screen and it will swap windows. It takes a little bit of file hacking + downloading + reading up on it to get it to work though, and I haven't gotten around to it. But it sounds cool!
Alright, going out for a drive for now. Toodles!
