In my spare time, (and in my busy time), I've been watching TwitchPlaysPokemon. We're pretty close to beating the E4. I hope the save file gets released for download.
Also, I've been working on compiling a wishlist for the soundtrack to the game I'm working on :). Still need a few more songs, to flesh out all the parts of the game that need unique music.
This song is on the wishlist, and I've been kindof addicted to it lately:
Also, this song is pretty cool:
"I don't think you realize how this works."

Ozzie Nelson...I love this song.
The Cass Eliot version has a better YouTube recording, but I kinda like the grainy vinyl sound.
I've been really back and forth lately about what I like. I dig the mellow electronic stuff and some hip-hop (the kind which is written by people with self respect), but I can't seem to escape the oldies. These are the stations on my Pandora Shuffle right now:
StarF***er
Hiromi and Chick Corea
Ratatat
Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald
Psyche O and Nujabes
(Each with an assortment of likes and dislikes, of course).
This week I've been taking some time to appreciate the lessons I've learned from my mistakes in the past. Without getting into detail... ;;; I'm really blessed by God's grace and forgiveness. I'm a better person, in part, because of the way God has used my guilt to push me away from repeating my mistakes. I still feel regrets because of some things... but that's because I now am able to see how strongly my actions affect the people around me, and how much my words and actions also affect myself (as well as the other way around). I feel like people are going to read this and think "Zac's being melodramatic," or "Zac hasn't done anything that bad. He's just a first-world kid with exaggerated problems." Don't suppose that things I've done fit on some scale of good and bad that you've conceived of.
Without defeating myself here... it's the little things that bother me the most. Big things, like going to jail, send a clear message: "don't do that again!". The things that bother me the most are things I've gotten away with. They say you're only in trouble if you get caught, but... I think it's much easier to let go of your guilt if you've been punished for it. I guess the point here is that I'm really blessed that God has given me the ability to self-analyze. I recognize my regrets, experience them, learn from them, and then let them pass over me like clouds -- becoming new. I've done a few things I really really wish I could apologize to somebody for... God, please continue to mold me into the person you want me to be. And don't cut me any slack.
Also, I made my blog a little wider, but I'm not sure if I like the way the header sits on it. I'm gonna experiment with the dimensions more later.

These days I've been distracted. I've been pretty stressed, and I feel like I've been neglecting my relationships. My work load isn't even that big. It just feels weighty. My job is contingent on my graduation, and my marriage is contingent on my job. Also, somehow, I just always have something in my schedule.
Last semester, late in, I deleted all my video games to make room for studying for finals. I figured I'd install them again at the beginning of this semester, and delete them around midterms if they were hurting my productivity. So I deleted them again on Wednesday. In their place, I have about 150 pages of reading material about patent law and intellectual property.
My piano teacher's husband didn't wake up, and when he was rushed to the hospital they found three tumors in his brain, and so they both need prayer. Also, My good friend is in a custody battle with her ex husband, and she needs prayer for that.
Didn't get much sleep this week. Monday and Tuesday it was video games; Wed-Fri it was homework.Also, every time I'm about to stop writing this blog, a song I like comes up on Pandora.
Tomorrow is Saturday. I have all the time in the world to get my long-desired sleep. I can push it off for another 3:55...
