Wait, who? Uh, where am I. Oh right. I have a blog. Oh wait, I remember saying something about updating it more. That was more than a year ago? Surely you jest.
So I’m: Still playing D&D, still not working enough, still making outlandish claims about updating my blog. Also going back to school, full-time. I either need an actual degree or I just need so much schooling that schools will need to hire me because I am just so fucking schooled. The Platt degree seems to be worth nothing, it’s been worthless in helping me get a job. Work is so fucking slow that people must think I’m completely useless (I’m not, I swear I’m not). Oh also, my asthma came back, in a bad way. Breathing is way more fun than you might think. Oh also #2, panic attacks now. And they tend to trigger asthma attacks. So, imagine this, you suddenly start freaking out and then you can’t breathe. It sucks, It’s like being tortured by your own body. Ugh
So as I mentioned I’m back in school, full-time. Going to learn programming and probably transfer to SDSU and continue with computer science. I think if I was able to follow all the way to the end I’d like to wind up at UCSD playing around with their supercomputer. It’s so hard being back in school, I know that that particular stress is partially what has brought on the panic attacks and probably had a hand in the asthma. Although I have been around smokers for many years, so that probably hasn’t helped. Anyways, these fucking kids. Nothing more to that, I just hate these fucking kids. I wish I was taking more computer classes but I need to finish this last class to get into the C++ and Java classes. Also more maths. Always more maths.
Fairly quiet on the music front. I saw Boris at the Casbah in July. That was fucking awesome. Best show I’ve ever seen.
My D&D group has started in on a Dark Sun campaign. Our DM has gone full out and claims to have everything written up until 7th level, which would be a good few months of play. He also dared us to knock the game off-track. Bad idea. He forgets that we don’t usually specifically attempt to knock a game off-track, we just do it. It’s like a force of nature. You can take steps to keep your house from being knocked down by weather, cutting back trees, storm windows, etc. But then one day something big rolls through and there’s a train bisecting your house.
Went to Comic Con this year, bought a returned pass a few weeks beforehand which was awesome. Had a good time overall, got to meet Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick of Venture Bros. fame. They even signed my Monarch action figure and I got a picture with Doc Hammer. Nice guy, I know I probably smelled like a wookie at that point in the day.
Here’s a picture of Carl posing with a TF2 Scout. Later we saw a Sniper get backstabbed by a spy. You don’t get to see video games come to life all that often.
