A good Monday...? Impossible...
I had a great day today. The only thing that would've made it better was if I had gotten a job, but I'm sure that'll happen in good time.
Our team had a meeting today with our teacher/project mentor, Andrew Mooney, and he seemed fairly positive for the most part. We really need to get together a more solid plan of action and a serious amount of documentation, but I think things are really coming together well as far as the game itself goes. Problem is, we're not neing graded on the final result. No, we're being graded on a pile of documentation that we need to generate for the project. That sucks - but I guess it;s also good in a way, because it means we don't fail if the game doesn't work.
Brandon, Emily and I worked on our game at my new place, and we were approximately 500% more efficient and productive than we usually are. We got a lot done, actually - we finished today everything that we wanted to have done by Friday. YAY! I'm pleased with the results we've achieved so far, and I expect we'll have a solid-feeling game demo at the end of this. Maybe not solid-looking, but I'm confident it'll play well.
After we fiished work on the game, my brother Daniel came over and helped me fix my bed - part of the bed frame cracked, so we made a brace for it. It's as good as new, but it's not as pretty-looking as it once was. Ah well, the brace is on my side of the bed, so Christine never has to look at it. We also made plans to play some poker soon. I can't WAIT to play some cards. It's been so long since I sat at a table - but, unfortunately, poker is one of those games that requires money to play.
Christine got home an hour ago - she had a seminar with a philosophy professor named Dr. Spencer. She loved it and had a million observations and insights to share. I was only too happy to indulge her; it's not every day I get to put my degree to good use!
I also discovered a cool feature on YTMND - YTMND Spy. It's a page that shows you instant updates on how people vote on sites. It's not actually linked anywhere on the front page, or on any page as far as I can tell - it;s like an Easter Egg for the website. Cool stuff. I'd tell you how to find it, but I'm you're smart enough to figure that out on your own.
OK, time to do some more unpacking. Pictures of the new place will be posted once we're moved in completely.
