the coming days

ive got some stuff planned in the coming days. ive got an animation id like to be done with, and hopefully i can also get this prank trailer done for noah. thatd be pretty funny i think. other than that, im just truckin along on a couple video games. namely : void stranger, which has been a long grueling process; final fantasy 9, which im getting pretty into, but im not quite sure how i feel just yet; there are others that id like to start playing soon but i dunno. the catalogue is ever-expanding. ill probably watch a couple movies over the next week. what movies, i dont know just yet. maybe eureka, the japanese one? i dunno, those are usually picked spontaneously, so ill see when i get to it. im also reading foundation, which is pretty good so far. i like all of the talk about resources and the economic politics of a universally large scope. like, the fact that these planets are very self-contained, like their own individual islands, yet they all rely on one another is fascinating to me. i feel like space piracy would be a massive organization in the future, due to the amount of necessary trade between planets.

well, other than those, ive got some business id like to start on. first, i wanna join some discord groups and get in preliminary talks with people about working on small little projects, just for fun or for work or whatever. i do desperately need to look for a job/internship or something. it has been pretty scant around these parts, and i dont think im ready to completely just move out of louisville just yet. i do kinda like it in this city, but i need to get out more. ill probably work on a small work-type animation or two to put on a reel to show before april 18th, since that's when one of the major deadlines is. so, in summary for business:

-join groups, get more involved

-work on animations

-maybe start looking into fiverr for video editing side hustle? i think that'd be do-able. possibly.

-weigh expenses, work on getting a desktop computer

-keep just looking for stuff, if i get real desperate or find any leads ill reach out to people.

tomorrow, id like to have all the shots for this animation done/being worked on.

id also like to continue ff9, play games with people online, keep reading.

AGHH

there are just so many things id like to work on, and i feel like i slack/dont have enough time for all of it. i want to learn chinese mandarin really bad. but that seems like it's on the backburner currently. my options are apps (which mostly suck) or anki (which im really far behind in). anki is more of a grind, and require s me to stay disciplined. so, maybe tomorrow i spend about 30 minutes on it? i think that'd be a nice start, and this whole next week i can stay on top of that.

like, for real, i lost my job so i have all the time in the world to kill atm. i need need need need need to make the most of it. i need to work out more, need to study more, it all makes my head spin.

so, tomorrow :

- get working on final animation shots (i should have only like 3 or 4 left)

- chinese for at least 30 minutes

- look for jobs, research about online communities to help out

- dabble on fiverr for low poly or video editing work

- play ff9

- read foundation

- love myself, love everything more

love everything, always

forever :)
