Ashes Fall

It’s finally happened, I think. Johnnie is totally overwhelmed. To see where her time went, she kept track for a week…

I haven’t hardly done my project for Flash Fundamentals because Becks was finally online for a day to do MCRime. I could be charging $30/hr for this stuff but I’m not. I do this stuff because I like to do it, not because I want to fail a class. I have a quiz today and a practical tonight that I probably won’t do very well on, and my project is due at 7pm. I spent about 20-30 hours on MCRime last week alone. The effing layout looks fine in FireFox and Safari, but crappy in I.E. so I need to make some modifications. However, the site can’t launch until I have a few days with the domain name anyways.

Mikey Way and related projects have become a full-time job. Mikey Way alone I spent about 40 hours last week into Monday. It may be just a fansite or whatever, but that thing has become my life and I love it. I really love it, and I love to watch good things happen to it (which, if things are going to go in my favor, I’ll start making some money soon). Mikey Way includes the main WordPress site, gallery, and forum. 8 hours was spent on the Media site (which will be a separate site from Mikey Way and is a partnership with Brandi), and 30 minutes (if that) on Brandi’s banner.

I’m also an avid reader of LiveJournal, Guitar Angel, Jemjabella, and Green Day Authority. I can be caught trolling Buzznet, YouTube, the WordPress Codex (yeah, I’m a nerd), and Absolute Punk.

And how much time have I spent in school? On campus, last week, 40 hours. Maybe 4 hours outside of class. And it doesn’t totally count because I’ve been known to work on the above things while in lecture and lab, as well as obsessively checking email.

I haven’t been to bed before 6am all week. I haven’t had a full meal in awhile. I’m about to clean off my couch and do sporatic naps.

I need to get my stuff in line.

Oh, but at least Michael Curry realizes he doesn’t take responsibility for himself or the stuff he does. In fact, he was quite vocal about it. I give him props for that, dude. Not a lot of people can admit something like that in themselves.

On the bright side, I get to see Kathleen on sunday!

Actually talked to my mom today. Looks like I’ll be going home for a dentist appointment the first week of July. Yay.

Adam and I just may have gotten ourselves a gig, him doing design and I doing design/coding. This Jamaican guy needs a website done for an all-genre record label. Of course we weren’t going to turn that down. He was talking more to Adam than me, but when he started talking more than just art, Adam directed it towards me. I gave him this site, MWO, and RE to track me down on. If you happen by here, hello! :

I actually worked pretty hard on my motion graphics project today in lab. I’ve settled on an advert for Leathermouth. It’s really neat because it has these crazy film reels going with video footage of the band performing and stuff. Oh, and I get to use my favorite Leathermouth song, Sunsets Are For Muggers.

Like I need another one, but I’m working on two more fanlistings. Yes, two. Like I don’t have enough to do already. I’m not going to say what they are because I don’t want someone to take them. Okay, I lied, possibly three now that I’m thinking about it, and many, many more if I can get my hands on them. Someone shoot me…

Web design next month will be so boring. I’m more advanced than that. I mean, not to say I won’t learn anything because I probably will (it’s inevitable, really), but I’m looking forward to the easy grade. And, more than likely, a good grade in psychology next month, which will balance out the two B’s I’ll get (have gotten?) in motion graphics. Wee! I’ve had nothing less than a B so far in any of my classes so I’m crossing my fingers it’ll stay that way for awhile.

My elbow is sore. It feels like I scraped it on something.
