Lunging Forward

I don't really have an illustration class this semester (it's so sad!), but I did manage to register for an independent study in illustration. I miss all my classmates, but at least this way I can still be productive under professional care. Instead of buffing up my portfolio even more because I'll have opportunity over the summer and next semester, I've decided to start focusing on marketing myself. My illustration professor believes I have a consistent body of work strong enough to start sending portfolio samples out to clients. Real clients. Now, I've made mock portfolio packages and client lists in previous classes, but I've never actually sent anything out before. So I'm quite excited and nervous. Nevertheless, right now I have time to be distracted by preparations. I need to possibly re-design a logo as well as design new letterhead/business cards. And.... a new website.

Me + Flash CS3 = ...?

I decided I wanted to learn Flash for my new, professional website. Nobody at my university teaches Flash, and if any of the professors know it, they've never spoken about it. This isn't too bad for me, because I self-taught myself how to do HTML and CSS, so I can teach myself to use Flash. Except.. I only have half a semester instead of 10 years to teach myself.

Fortunately for me, my professor just ordered a tutorial CD for me to speed things along! ^^ Anyway, my website will be given a complete make-over, and I'll be sure to let you guys know when it's completed.

Left 4 Dead

So I'm not usually a gamer. My boyfriend's a gamer, my roommate's a gamer, and all their friends (which are also mine) are gamers. Now, I thoroughly enjoyed playing Okami, and I really like Little Big Planet and Mario Kart, but I've recently fallen into the deep end. Well, with one game.

Anyone else play Left 4 Dead? I gave it a try one day at the guys' LAN party when one of them wanted to play, but everyone else was busy. So I jumped on my boyfriend's computer and away I went! Needless to say, later that week my boyfriend bought me the game using my Christmas "gift certificate" from him. This was a few weeks ago, and I swear to you there have only been two days when my dreams have not involved zombies.

It's so much FUN. Being zombies, killing zombies, watching zombies fight other zombies. I can't believe how addictive it is. I'm not the best at it (I don't have any prior experience really, so I suck at precision aiming), but I'm slowly getting better! I think. I hope.

Anyone else play the game?
