just some cowboy bebop

So, I've got about a month or so left in my contract here in New Hampshire (unless I get an extension) and things are winding down a bit. I never thought I'd be in the position to say this, but I actually bought a game console for work. I won't lie about it and say that I am buying it exclusively for work. Anyone that knows me would know that's an outright lie. However, in looking at the projects I want to complete in the next year, an Xbox 360 will surely help and fuel alot of fires I have burning right now. Due to the nature of the project I am currently working on, I cannot really talk about it much, but I can say that it involves me having to play alot of new games being released. What a life. :)

I'm currently designing and building my first real website in three years. The last website I designed was for my last improv group and after we disbanded I deleted the remains. Jumping back into it though has been fun. The little bits of HTML and the like have coming back to me like Squall's flashbacks at the end of FFVIII. (Yep, just went there.) I feel like I am cheating a bit though by using iWeb '09 but if every other actor out there is doing it, why not me? This time I'll conform, but we'll see about next time...

The very daunting thing about making this whole website business is how much it makes me feel like I'm running just that: a business. I realize that in the entertainment industry, you, being the actor/writer/whatever, is the product but man, how do you make a dork marketable? In real life we're relegated to being the funny best friends (on our lucky days) but in the real world? I hope there's alot of casting directors out there who play Halo.

And in that case, hit me up on Xbox Live.

Til next time.

Startling new developments!

Here I am, in New Hampshire, surrounded by trees, open roads, and nature.

How did I get here? It seems like only a few days ago I was still in Pittsburgh planning out what to do after graduation. Turns out that time passes more quickly than I would have liked.

The projects I am working on encompass my free time right now, between video games and hanging out with my friends. What is great about these projects is that they're easy to assemble and I can easily work on them at a moment's notice. The biggest project, LAN'ded, is undergoing a big transformation in its third draft and I couldn't be happier with the people who are helping me out. Other smaller projects have crept up within the Imaginary Trends umbrella that intrigue me but most of my efforts are spent working on LAN'ded.

Now that I'm designing a new website, I decided the blog needed a do-over as well. All of these entries will be RSS'd into my personal website soon. So there ya go.

Expect more regular updates...
