  Trying Not To Be A Nerd I have been lazing about with my work lately. I realize that I must spend… at least 5 hours of my waking 15 hours in recreation. It is either games or thinking about games… calculating game numbers and facts or analyzing mental graphs determining when “diminishing returns” occur and maximum value… and of course making up stories of imaginary people doing things I wish I was doing. 1 hour is mostly spend moving around. From walking back and forth the office taking orders like the gopher I am to walking home from work. When it is those days I drive… the time I spend moving around goes to up to 3 hours total. That’s why I love walking to work. Work… real work is about 3 to 4 hours. Concepts are hard to make… given that creativity is such in low supply these days in this country. I spend half the time making concepts… sketching images with a vague resemblance to its future outcome… and thinking of reasons why it should work and how it would best affect the target audience.
Of course there is my school work… Let me get this off my chest… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! (sigh) O.K. Then there is my school work… which is a BOOK!!! Then homework for two subjects. Concepts takes me forever… and when It comes to a book… I don’t jump in to making something with out really thinking of actual relevance.
I’m not like a guy when the first chance of loosing his virginity comes along… Drawing something always takes a while for me… I love doing intricate detail… and I’m sure the people who like my art does as well… But in a 200 page book with about 150+ drawings needed. I want the drawings to make a name for my self with my art as well as my Thinking. So I spend my few remaining hours trying to fix my story and visual theme for the book.
I’m kinda thin and the cold does havoc to my thin fingers and manual dexterity. Ack… IN OTHER NEWS I want to go out but I have to prioritize on my studies and work these days. I and Thomas were talking about “eat all you can” and we were planning to eat at Hercs Ortigas City Center the first chance we get. 200 pesos, seven inch pizzas and bottomless drinks. Enraku just beside hercs: 225 pesos… eat all you can sushi, sashimi and ramen… no drinks (water is bottomless). Don’t order the ramen if you want to maximize your 225 bucks. Its just all soup and noodles. I invited Antonio to eat out at in Don henrico’s in Jupiter Street..
Cause of the 200 peso eat all you can pizza and pasta… but the person he was meeting didn’t want to. THURSDAY GAME We all kicked Ass Merric played by Nell was our resident sharp shooter with a hans solo angle, Henry was our Tank with Dagu and I was the “tool”-verine Garret Logan Private Detective… But I cannot take pride taking down people who couldn’t penetrate our armor… but the second encounter was truly a challenge when there was some real lethality to it. My pride in how I designed my character came when the smoke grenades obscured the vision of everyone … except for me with my thermal imaging. It was just cool how coming into a game prepared for the worst makes a character stand out heroically. Oh yeah not to mention that there was knock out gas mixed in the smoke which was filtered by my bionic respiration system. On another Note... the remake by mandy moore of that song... i find realy depressing. Maybe cause its about rejection... and i've always been in the more painfull end.
