AHH! My internet has been out in my apartment for nearly 2 weeks! I’m reduced to begging for internet on the street! Right now I’m on campus at my old school catching up on emails. I had 37 LOL! Luckily over half of them were forwards and advertising so I got through it pretty quick.

Actually, it’s funny, but I haven’t missed the internet half as much as I thought I would. The first few days felt a little disorienting; I kept turning my computer on and staring at the screen wondering what I was supposed to do with it, but after that I just stopped turning it on and I went for long walks or read, or worked on my painting. (It’s getting pretty good! I have most of the background roughed in. I’ll post a picture the next time I make a trip to school.)

I also worked on my next game a bunch, it should be done pretty soon which is exciting. It’s the next game in my ether series, a tower defense made in the old-school Warcraft III style like I used to play in highschool. Casual gaming has made it all so arcadish, I want to recapture that old “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!” feeling, haha. Of course, that’s kinda what the whole series is about, so it fits.

Anyhoo, everyone pray to the broadband gods to restore my internet! It’s been a nice retreat, and I think I’ll use my internet time more wisely in the future, but actually having the internet is nicer than being without it.
