hurrah!

Why hurrah? I'll tell you why hurrah!

Today I finished recording the last of my lines for Limey Lizard.

Hopefully the game will be fully finished on time for Hallowe'en, which is tomorrow.

I really do wish I had got these lines done sooner, Progz is having to work really hard to get it done and having to listen through multiple recordings of each line is a long boring process. So for episode 2 I will definitely get them all done sooner.

Also, the main reason I hadn't got them done sooner, the depression, seems to have gone now, I feel happier each day and I'm sleeping better now. So hurrah for that too!

I will probably update again in a couple of days once the game is out and the opinions are in.

On an unrelated note (and just to get something else in to write about), I will be having dinner soon. It consists of sausages, chips and baked beans, and also some bread. Mmmmm.

Tomorrow (technically today) is another day

Okay, because Bicilotti requested it I'm making a new blog entry.

So first of all, how do I feel? Well, I feel a lot better than I have been. I even managed to get a bunch of lines recorded for Limey Lizard and actually did them with enthusiasm unlike some I recorded the other day, although Progz still liked the majority of them, and the ones he didn't was down to the delivery being wrong? So I'm really happy about that.

Also today/yesterday I managed to burn both my bottom lip and right thumb on pizza -- It was fresh out the oven and instead of letting it cool down a bit I just sliced it up and got nomming, I bit into it and pulled it away, but I hadn't bitten cleanly through the layer of molten cheese which decided to flap over my lip and cause a really bad feeling burn, and without thinking I just grabbed it and ended up burning my thumb. After that I didn't really enjoy the pizza, but still I devoured my enemy.

Erm, so it wasn't really that exciting a day, but atleast I am generally a lot happier now: the trees of despair seem to be behind me, but I'm not out of the woods yet. Tomorrow is another day, but I'm confident that this recent bout of depression is over.

So yeh, I'm looking forwards to tomorrow/today, hoping to get atleast a hundred more lines recorded, and I want to work on a mockup of a game idea I've had for the last week or two.

You never know, I might update again soon to let you all know how that goes.

Taking The Day Off(line)

So, I decided to spend the majority of the day (technochronicologically yesterday) offline.

The reason? Well, I woke up feeling kinda meh - I couldn't really be bothered to do anything or be around anyone who might make me feel better, I was just kinda wallowing in my depression. I also hoped that if I did start to feel better again I wouldn't have any distractions therefore enabling me to get some more dialogue recorded for Limey Lizard, but that didn't happen.

Although one thing I did get done today was make dinner, which is something I never do or atleast not for anyone but myself. But I was going through one of my cook books the other day and came across a simple recipe for 'Bacon and Cheese Rosti' and thought "Ooh, I could make this for me and my dad for dinner" so I did, and it turned out really well.

It seems as though my recent interest in baking cakes and things has extended into cooking in general, I find myself flipping through the books looking at all the interesting recipes and before I've even got round to making anything I'm thinking of ways to make it better/different.

The interest is also part of this newfound need for me to be self sufficient, really, I'm 27 years old and it is about time I did know how to look after myself. I mean I'm not an invalid or anything, I CAN do things for myself but I generally DON'T want to or to really be more accurated: I've never had any need to. But now I do want to, and learning how to cook meals for myself is a good step towards self sufficiency, it also means I can do more around the house and be the one cooking my dad dinner when he gets in from work rather than the other way around.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Content To Come...

Yes, indeed I have just started a blogspot account.

Whether or not I use it remains to be seen though.

Not a very interesting first post I know, but what do you expect from something entitled Lacks Awesome? 

I really would like to start a good blog but I don't really have anything interesting or otherwise to talk about, so for now I'm just keeping the door open.

Although one potential use could be for information about Stickens...

Watch this space.
