Hey guys, I'm not dead, it's just my senior year of university and I'm busy as all fuck. I'm:

1. Making a 3D game in XNA (this semester)
2. Making a 3D game ENGINE in XNA (my year-long senior project)
3. Applying to graduate schools
4. Taking 3 other classes and TAing at the same time

The recent art posts are from my drawing class. I don't know when I'm going to have time to do pretty coloured things again. Maybe after I graduate from school.

In other news, I hope you all have been following the election. It's epic this time around. All I have time to say is that I support the candidate who supports a woman's right to choose, separation of church and state, health care, energy research, and science. I support the actually intelligent candidate (Obama, if you couldn't tell). McCain is against almost everything I stand for and Palin doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground. I find her an insulting pick and the thought of her being president it genuinely terrifying. There's a reason why I'm looking at Canadian grad schools and it's not just because I like Canada. Don't forget to vote on November 4th if you're a US citizen.

Anyway, I'm going to relist my backlogs so I don't forget about them.

By the way, have any of you ever come across something and gotten really into it before seeing or playing it? I for some reason am on a Team Fortress 2 kick, despite the fact that I don't yet have the game or the time to play it. It's kind of weird.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in. You may not hear from me again for a while.
