Facebook

They're making a movie about facebook. It's about the guy who made it and how it became what it is today.

I would have done a story about a woman who enters her info to facebook, gets a stalker and is raped, then later all the info facebook collects of her is used to inprison her in the totalitarian government of america.

Guess I just don't really like facebook.

I do have a facebook account though. It's right here. There is also atleast one Blastwave fanclub thing, which I stubbornly refuse to join.

I am bored. It's really hot outside.

We decided to change our summer project after roughly 2 weeks of work. It now deals with astronauts. It previously dealed with giant cockroaches shooting alot of humans.

Sounds deep.

So I went to sweden, got back.

The week after that... dissappeared into a blur somewhere. Ending in a very calm juhannus spent mostly watching tv back home.

During the last week, all of the old projects that I abandoned long ago resurfaced in my head. Now I want to make TGSA (second one of the three projects sharing the same name, the sci-fi one) again. But I still know I can't write it. Something about those characters I came up with back then... I miss them.

I have never put much thought into what I do. It's almost always a spur of the moment thing. Everytime I think about something too much I drive myself into a dead end. But going through my stuff afterwards I noticed some repeating themes. Like the apathetic end of the human race. As seen here, here and here.

I also noticed some other things, that I have recently noticed about myself that I find somewhat concerning. Dealt with them in blastwave in past years on what must be some unconcious level. Also another comic idea revolved nearly entirely around that theme... But then again, blastwave has always been open to a great degree of interpretation and I'm probably seeing what I want to.

I'm clearly psychoanalyzing myself. Maybe I should sleep.

L4D2

I bought left 4 dead, knowing very well it had very little content, safe in the knowledge that more would be coming. Apparently no. Instead of making L4D a game with decent amount of content justifying the price tag... they made another L4D game that lacks content too.

Sucks.

In other news:
Summer project... officially started. Sort of. Not feeling very enthusiastic about it. blaa blaa blaa. It remains to be seen if anything decent comes out of it.

I've been working a bit on this homepage kind of a thing. I guess it will serve as my portfolio thing at somepoint. I keep going back and forth between these things. Right now it's there to get the old info pages up so people can stop emailing me. I was actually writing a sort of a photoshop tutorial too, but I guess I'll scrap that and just make some brush ceation tutorial thing.

Went to visit parents and friends over the weekend. It was nice.
