Relaxed Day

Today has been pretty chill. Not too much going on in school, and not too much homework. I've still got to do some physics, but that's usually fun, so no worries there.

I finally ironed out the (I hope) last bug in my Buffy game engine. This means that I'll be able to start working on the actual game again. Wish me luck! :)

Also, in programming class, me and Maxant have started writing the Caspertron 2000 to replace our friend with a virtual copy. We hope to make it even better than the original! :P

I have also decided to start expanding this site to include more than a blog. I don't know when I'll have time to do this, and it may take a while if I decide to learn PHP and make a real Content Management System, so be patient. If this does happen, the blog will be moved to blog.mohawkondisplay.com, but don't worry about that, because I'll have a link to it on my front page when that happens. Some of the things I'll be adding to the site include my computer programming projects and an easier way to access my pieces of writing.

Feelin groovy...

I went into Manhattan with David K and bunch of other people for David's birthday, and it was really great. We went to Dangerfield's - a really good comedy club - and then we just wandered around, hung out in the Village. I had a nice Simon and Garfunkel moment when we turned onto Bleeker Street. It was fun. Even if it wasn't M. Night Shyamalan's The Village, as Casper kept pointing out.

To top it off, last night I had at least 6 distinct dreams that I can remember. I usually don't even remember one dream, so this put me in a really good mood. I won't write my dreams, because most people are bored by other people's dreams, but I may be turning one of the dreams into a short story, which I'll of course post here if I do write it.

Seriously, I'm in such a good mood, I don't even think massive amounts of homework due tomorrow will be able to get me down! :D

Ophelia's Last Words

When I recall my love as first we met
He seemed a gentleman - heart bold and true.
I know kind men are found where e're, and yet
Hamlet my heart is drawn steadfast to you.

I saw behind your eyes a fiery mind
Your single goal to know the world firsthand.
Your purpose set: to right the wrongs you find
While seated on your throne - king of the land.

But now this man I fear I do not know
Who's slain my dad and taunts me in my shame.
The world around me twists, the winds that blow
Cool down my heart that once was set aflame.

And now this world cannot sustain my life.
The sun must set to usher in the night.

In my life...

SADD sleepover was this weekend. I went, for the first time in highschool. It was...interesting. Unfortunately, because of the large group, I think my social anxiety got the better of me, and I spent a lot of the time just walking through the halls or sitting around, listening to other people talk. I hope I didn't creep them out, or make them uncomfortable. Fortunately, I was too tired to be nervous, so I was pretty much numb most of the night. If that makes sense.

Good news on the blog front. My domain name is set up now, for real. Mohawkondisplay.com works now.

Less than good news on the Buffy computer game front. I've got some rather large memory leaks that I need to identify and patch, and I don't know how long that will take to do. :(

I'm really not looking forward to getting out of this chair...

www.mohawkondisplay.com

Good news! I decided to shell out ten bucks a year for a real domain name. From now on, you can visit Mohawk On Display at http://www.mohawkondisplay.com

Update: Unfortunately, not all is well in top-level-domain-land. Right now, you need to type www.mohawkondisplay.com, and if you forget the www, it won't work. I'm doing my best to fix this ASAP. And in the meantime, if any web geniuses out there can come up with a way to make DNS less confusing, please do so, because it's making my head hurt :(

Innocence

Innocence cannot be bought
True memory fades slow
So treasure blissful ignorance
As long as it can go

How does one tell the difference between an artist and a murderer?

Ever seen this picture before?

It's "Rind" by M.C. Escher. Looks pretty, right? Well, remember that guy in Hannibal? He skinned people's faces too. M.C. Escher is cool and all, but I wonder what he kept in his basement...
