I’m not dead, i swear.

I know I haven’t really posted this week, and I have a legit reason this time!

A while ago I was asked to build a web­site. I won’t explain what it’s about quite yet, as I’m still build­ing the theme for the thing, which has been an adven­ture. I always forget how finicky PHP is, and then I start coding in it for some­thing and I want to shoot myself in the head. It dies when you don’t think it would, and then works when by all logic it shouldn’t. Joy oh joy.

I’ll give a quick run­down of what’s been going on, and I’ll try and get some reviews out this week­end between coding stints.

1. Spent the week­end in North Bay with Theresa. I took Monday off and got myself a well-​deserved long week­end. Last time I’ll have to drive up there too, so I’m glad for that. I love vis­it­ing Theresa, but that drive is boring after the first time. Thank­fully I had Doctor Who audios to get me through it all! I lis­tened to “Minuet in Hell“, “Living Legend”, and “…ish” all of which I recommend.
2. I’m help­ing Bart with a project of his that is super hush-​hush at the moment. It’s a fan­tas­tic idea and should look really good in my portfolio.
3. Work­ing on a web­site for There­sas friend. I’ve shown a couple people the in-​progress, but I’ll wait before I link it here. It’ll be my first attempt at them­ing Word­press. The best part is that he doesn’t want it to look like a blog (it isn’t, so that’s fair). It’s prob­a­bly going to get a re-​design as soon as it’s released, but he wants it up ASAP so the theme’s in a 0.5 sort of stage at the moment. It’s a fun learn­ing curve to be sure.
4. Real-​life work con­tin­ues status quo. Shock­ing lack of over­time this month. Knock on wood.
5. Started sketch­ing again. Slowly I’ll get it back.
6. Down­loaded the new Sam & Max. I’m really look­ing for­ward to play­ing it, what with it being the finale to the season and all. All I need is some time to sit down and play it.
7. Fin­ished Pro­fes­sor Layton and the Curi­ous Vil­lage. All 135 puz­zles too. Damn that game and it’s evil hold on me. Damn my inabil­ity to put a puzzle down. I tend to obsess over things like that.
8. Cur­rently read­ing The Curi­ous Inci­dent of the Dog in the Night-​Time, which is a great read. Utterly dif­fer­ent than I was expecting.
9. I’ve been sick for the past 3-4 weeks and I finally broke down and went to the doc­tors. Now I’m taking antibi­otics. I think my body has a seri­ous prob­lem fight­ing sinus infections.

That about covers it this week. Sorry it’s a total sell-​out post people, but I’m a busy little bitch. I’ll try and slip in a couple bonus posts next week to make up for this week.
