No joke, I'm working three now! And that's not a complaint, I think it's pretty awesome! What blogs, you may ask. Well, obviously this one, which is my personal blog. Yeah, it can be pretty mundane and boring. I'm also working on a personal work blog at work talking about different topics I find interesting. It's pretty much all about work stuff, so I'm not going to talk about that here! And finally, the Pathseekers blog I mentioned in my last post.
I'm having a lot of fun with that! I just needed a base idea, and I've just been going through it. Pretty positive response so far. If you read the blog, you'll know it's a permanent pre-production (which means it really doesn't face the problem). We're all about putting up tons of ideas to build a portfolio. For some of us it's about writing and designing story and lore; for others it's about art and maybe modeling or programming. I just know I'm enjoying it! Be sure to check it out!
Other than that, I'm just preparing for my new shift, and working on web development still. I'm up to Javascript on W3schools! Which reminds me, I'm going to read over a bit more of that before bed! Later blogosphere!

Here we go
So, my vacation is over, and my brother is gone. Yeah, I'm a bit sad to say the least; however, at least I'll be saving up money now, I guess. That's a plus, right? Oh, and my house is clean now! Gotta keep it that way, and get back on my diet!
I wasn't able to finish the SC2 novel, but I was able to get it checked out longer! So, gonna finish that up still! I also just finished the W3schools stuff for CSS! Do I know it? Just like all the other stuff I went over so far at W3schools, sort of. I'm still going to need more practical knowledge of all of it. Next up is Javascript, and a look over CSS3 after that. Then, it'll be off to my big book finally followed by some helpful links friends and co-workers have shared (mostly on CSS).
In other news, my friend, Niki, has started up this cool project for a mock game (for now at least) called Pathseekers. I'm really excited about it, and my creative juices are flowing. I kinda already changed around a bit of the base foundations which I hope everyone else on the project is ok with, and begin building a lore and story for the world. That's what I do, lore all the way! I have my work cut out for me, but I'm so excited! I even have a few scene pieces in mind!
Anyway, time for bed since I go back to work tomorrow. Only a few more days before my new shift starts. Still waiting to see what happens there. *fingers crossed*

On the Road
I've never tried this yet, buy there is a first time for everything!
I'm on my way from Austin to Louisiana to bring Dawson home. I can't wait to get out if Houston.
No much to report at the moment. I want to talk about more, but I don't like writing on this phone. Plus, I don't know if this will even work!
More later if it does work!

T-minus two days
Pretty close to the last day my brother will be here.I'll be taking him home when the time comes, and at least I'll see my family for like a day. That will be cool since I probably won't see them again until my birthday in March!
I watched Captain America last night, and it was pretty good. I'm excited to see Avengers now to see how all these heroes and actors work together!
Other than that, not much going down. Trying to finish up the SC2 novel before I head out, so there will be a lot of reading tonight! My friend asked me to edit her school paper, so I'll be doing that tonight as well. Still reading up on web development, working on CSS right now. Then, Javascript followed by my big book of web development that I got so long ago. A friend also shared some CSS pages for me on Google+ to check out. So, it's something I'm to learn. I just need more practical use of it.
Now, it's time for work! Still nervous about the new shift starting on the 7th...

Allons-y
So, the weekend is over. No, I didn't get anything done really, but more on that in a minute. It was my last weekend with Dawson here. I'll be bringing home come this time next weekend. It'll be a bit cheaper to live, and quite a bit cleaner (after I pull it all together when I get back); however, it's going to be a lot emptier. I'm going to miss that little punk.
I didn't do anything this weekend, really. Well, I did read quite a bit of the SC2 novel, and I plan on doing so more when I get off of work this weekend. I really need to have it done by Sunday/Monday. That's my goal for it.
Nothing else; though. I fooled around with Morrowind and updated the graphics to play it a bit. I also set up a Minecraft server for Dawson and me. Hopefully, he'll be able to hop on now and then even if he has dial up so we can build that world together.
As for as "productivity" goes, I'm going to slow down a bit as I keep trying to set myself up to do everything all at once. I need to pace myself, or else I'll do nothing ever. I still have my goals, and I'm still going to work toward them. The immediate goal is web development. Once I finished that big book, I'll consider myself close to the end of that one.
I got my new shift at work, and it starts on Aug. 7th. I'll be working Midnight to 11am with Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays off. That was my 10th pick, and no, I'm not ecstatic about it at all. My last "good" pick ended at 6am to 3am, and that was my 6th pick. So, consider that to what pick I got!
However, there are two things one can do in this situation. One, you can give up caring and either quit or work crappy until they fire you; or two, you can take it in stride and kick that shift's ass. I've already dedicated almost three years to this company, and I really do want to make a career of it. So, I'm not giving up just yet. I don't want to be where I am at forever; though, there are other areas in my department and other departments in the company I have my eye on. But doesn't do me any good to give up. Here we go! As the Doctor once said, "Allons-y!"
Well, I'm going to head off to work as there is something I want to finish writing up there. Maybe it'll turn into nothing, but at least it was an interesting exercise! Later!

End of a Journey
Wow, so it's been around 14 years since Harry Potter first came out, right? I finished the books up around 2-3 years ago I guess, but just watched the final movie last night. How did I feel about it? It was pretty good, followed the books closely with a few changes here and there. Of course, if you look at the movies from 1 to 7/8 a lot has been removed, obviously. I'll personally always enjoy the books far more.
So, this a quickie. I'm about to head into work for my Friday! Hopefully, it'll be a good end of the week. Last weekend with my brother; though. I'll save money when he's gone, and my apartment will be cleaner; however, it'll be a bit more lonely.
CSS is coming along quite nicely. It's far longer and more complex than HTML and XHTML, but there is still quite a bit I need to know in those two as well. W3schools is pretty good, but in scale it is really small. I still have so many questions, but I'm hoping my big book answers those when I get to it! Going to finish up all the W3school stuff (CSS, Javascript, etc.) then hit the big book finally. It's actually quite fun! Can I be a web developer? I always felt like this was something you'd have to be doing right out of high school (or while you were in it). We'll see.
Still gotta get stuff written and read, but I'm going to try to worry less. Less stress would be pretty awesome!
Anyway, time to head to work! Have a good one!

Yes, I know
So, brief update on my lunch break. I'm still planning on getting the Infamous write-up; however, behind thanks to Plucker's with Quiz and Harry Potter. I'm going to see the 2nd part tonight.
However, I did make it through HTML5 and XHTML! Working on CSS now and then Javascript. After that, big kid's book! >>
And I have to get to the Infamous write-up, Suckerpunch review, read the SC2 novel, and get a new poem.
This is also my brother's last week here. A lot to do in the coming days, but I should hopefully have the four things up there done by the end of this month!
