Nov. 21st, 2012 06:44 amGrandpa showed me this newspaper cover yesterday, showing an aerial view of just how destructive Hurricane Sandy had really been a month ago, something that I've already been aware of. He, Uncle Robby, and Cousin Adam were lucky to have only lost electricity, given their location well above sea level, and to have a generator that could power up two rooms. Everyone was talking about the situation later on. This small amusement park that we kids, Mom, Robby, and Adam went to one summer night in 2004? Gone, though it might be possible to rebuild at some point after all the debris is cleared away (which is probably going to take three whole months).

Told Mom last night that I can't wait until Brian comes home next month so I can talk to him personally about what's possible for the short term in terms of gaining control over anything. She then asked me what it was that gave me such a stance on male-bashing double-standards in the first place, and also told me that Marie was curious as well.

This morning, before she left for work, Mom asked me if maybe I'm feeling agitated right now from forcing myself to work on that spritesheet, which is so tedious that I tend to work on only one sprite at a time before taking nearly an hour or so to get to the next one. I told her that I've been planning to play the rest of Angry Birds Seasons once I complete the regular, non-hived sets for Kagami, Tsukasa, and Miyuki, but she suggested that I just have a break from the project right now and just have myself a vacation, so that my shitty mood doesn't ruin Marie and Grandpa's visits here for Thanksgiving.
(Thus far, I had finished Kagami's non-hived set this past Sunday, and decided to play one round of Chip-chan Kick just to unwind for the rest of the night, before starting with Tsukasa. Monday was the last day I'd be able to play anything in my room, so I spent whatever time I wasn't raking and mowing leaves for that day to play more rounds of the game before Mom set the TV input to cable. And yesterday, I managed to get six out of twenty of Tsukasa's sprites done. Normally, I would require myself to get a decent amount of stuff finished in something that requires concentration between playing any two games, like with Kanji in Context and the Mega Man series, but I suppose I could set that rule aside for once.)
