…2009? Holy $#*T!

It’s been a while since I posted, December 13th to be exact. It was a crazy and busy month for me in more ways than one. I wrapped up 2008 with a late night of celebration and too many gin and tonics …five too many to be exact. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

2008 closed out with more of a whimper than a bang for me. I’m not partial to whimpers, so I started the new year off in good form by dragging my hungover butt out of bed for a 5k race in which I managed to (A) not puke during or after, and (B) take first in my division in. The not puking part is more impressive than the winning, it was a small race.

And because I’m a glutton for punishment, I ran home and picked the car of an inebriated friend I drove home the night before. Then took it across town and dropped it off for em, so they wouldn’t have to make the trip  …Then I managed to get lost while running home, and turned what should have been a 3 mile run into about a 9 miler, and paid for it the rest of the week.

I know I’ve said it before, but I’m always amazed by how quickly time slips by. Seasons change, people move in and out of our lives, doors open and close.

It’s 2009 and January is almost over. I spent a big chunk of it away from home. Some unexpected contract work came up that took me out of town and kept me distracted for almost two weeks.

Now I’m home and catching up on contract work, personal projects, game dev, web dev, and other otherwise. Mostly I’m trying to shake the rust off and get back on my running routine.

Art and business wise 2009 looks to be both an interesting and challenging year. I’m gonna be immersing myself in running and working for the foreseeable future, so there will be plenty of new art to show soon.

Tim at Push Button Labs recently posted a logo design and game play pic from the RTS I’m working on with them. It’s coming along nicely. Tim is rocking the house with great animations for the various units that’s really bringing them to life with lots of personality.

 

That’s all for now.
