My friend, associate, and future IMD masters student (!) Sean Bouchard recently pointed out to me that "there is nothing bloggier than a post about why you haven't been blogging." So in lieu of an apology, here's a list of some stuff that has happened since last I wrote.
1) "The Cache Reader", our prototype/exploration form for the Cache Project, is complete, working, and getting a last spit-shine before we unleash it on an unsuspecting public.
2) Second Skin continues to do well on the festival circuit, and I continue to cross my fingers (along with half the internet) for a theatrical distribution
.
3) I have remembered how much I like Dim Sum (thanks, Belinda!)
4) In a fit of Saturday I saw Alvin and the Chipmunks, the movie (not to be confused with the inimitable Chipmunk Adventure) and while I was primed by the marketing campaign to hate it with a boundless passion, I didn't. I was dreadspecting a biopic on thugged-out two-year-old reference laden rats, and instead I got a whiff of nostalgia. The lil' CGI buggers were actually sort of cute.
5) Four major projects, including an interactive video tutorial, a networked Flash game, an adventure game prototype, and a thesis paper/presentation, are all due this week.
6) This is apparently my hundredth blog post. Who knew?
I'm sure other things happened this month; given a fresh brain I could find fifty that are more significant than watching the Chipmunks. All told, I am nearly burnt out, blackened in the Cajun style. This week I've felt nothing but the heat radiating through the still air. I am ready for summer. I am SO ready for summer. I will see you on the other side of next week, with loud neon board shorts on and only two or three responsibilities to my name.
