Went for a job interview today... but sshhhh dont tell my current employer...

Got a replacement superdisk drive today, my old one kicked it, so i took it back and they sent me a brand new one, completed with cables and everything again... damn thats cool

Finished warcraft 3, ending is brilliant... and the end credits are really cool, neat how they have built a lot of scenes with teh characters and stuff..

Ive been playing around with 3D Studio max lately, learning it to build some characters for a game thats in the works...

Aint been doin much else, looking forward to the weekend without having any marking to do... All ive gotta do is read some stuff for a tute im taking next week at the uni and go see all the movies ive missed the last few weeks... should be cool... looking forward to just hanging out.. doing nothing...

Its weird, i spend my days at home lately with work as there are no current jobs for me, and although i sit around all day tinkering and stuff, i feel like i cant do my own thing cause im meant to be working, sounds kinda silly but thats the way it is... i still keep my work times and stuff ... i dunno... anyway, i look forward to the weekends even though they are kinda similar to my week days at the moment... blah

righto, back to 3DSMax....

arrrr!!! finished marking today! *cheers* finally... sure its good money but damn it makes you feel brain dead. The latest ones ive done are from other campuses and international students so translating is a bit tough and makes it a little icky..

Fould a sandwich maker thingy i forgot i had the other day, and since then have been having yummy cheese toasted sandwichs... simple yet filling..

Im up to the last campaign on warcraft 3, the night elve one, damn it is sweet, the storyline follows right through all 4 campaigns.. excellent game.. been playing a bit on battlenet as well. Me and a mate formed a team and to start with we were having some trouble, but after a bit of experimenting, we have it worked out. We actually started winning... out of 25 games played, we have won 5.. but remember that was back when we were crap, the last 3 wins came from 4 games... which isnt too bad..

righto, enough, im starving for a cheese thingy again...
