Pig Payback
The title of today's post refers to the sketch. Some of you have played the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker before. It is a very enjoyable game, and I for one loved the cartoony style. A while after I had bought the game, Tim decided he wanted a Gamecube, and proceeded to purchase one, along with a copy of Zelda. So I decided to watch him play through the first level. Now in this level, there are all these pigs running around, and one of the puzzles involves you picking them up and throwing in a pen or something like that. While I was watching Tim, he asked if you could throw the pigs off of the cliffs and into the ocean. In the months that I had been playing the game, it never occured to me to do that. But sure enough, you can, the pig just swims back to shore and looks a little pissed off, but no worse for having taken the plunge. So Tim spent the next half hour or so chucking pigs into the drink and watching them paddle their way back.
Now that the backstory is out of the way, you can understand "Pig Payback" Yet another Nintendo related piece.
In other news, I may be getting a job as "artist in residency" at Berkley High School. It would be a totally fun job that pays remarkably well. Lets put it this way, I would be making more at Berkley working 5 hours a day, 4 days a week than at the other studio I talked to working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I'll go into details if I actually get the job, I should find out by the end of the week.
Last, and well probably least. Apple likes to make things easy for you. Email, Address Books, Calenders, they all work together very easily. I think I just hate easy. Ive been using web mail forever, going through three or four pages before getting to my inbox, waiting for each mail message to load. I've had this computer now for a good 4 months or so, and I just now got around to setting up my email, address book, and calender through the Mac applications. It is too quick to check my email now, I have no idea what to do with the extra time. Maybe I'll knit a sweater or something.

Oh. And since this entire thing is pretty much just me emulating LiveJournal, I decided to start including what Im listening to at each post.
