Seriously!  I’m getting pretty sick of sub-zero wind chills. I can’t remember the last time I felt my toes.
Due to a lack of imagination today (which I am inclined to blame on the cold), here’s a recap of stuff that has happened since last week in roughly chronological order:

Last Friday night I had to spend some time working on a paper due at midnight, but I ended up finishing by early evening, so that was cool.  My friends and I spent the evening randomly hanging out until we went to Brunswick Zone and played around in the arcade again.  My friend and I blew a ton of money on this ridiculous shooting game where we had guns and we were shooting at ninjas armed with swords and shurikens… and still lost.  It was hilarious.  We ended the evening drinking coffee and flipping creamer containers at each other at Denny’s till the wee hours.  The rest of the weekend was full of homework and family functions so there isn’t much to talk about.

Also, later this week we had our first meeting to register for the Games for Girls competition.  I’m excited for this year’s competition for several reasons.  We decided to do a puzzle-type game instead of a role-playing game, which is generally the standard, because we learned the hard way last year that scrapping large parts of a linear plot at the last minute can be disastrous.  We’re also not required to use the same software suite we were last year.   They always required us to use a software platform called Game Maker to build our games, which is good for what it does, but this year they gave us the option to use pretty much any platform we want.  We’re going to develop on the same platform used by real game developers who write for PC and Xbox, so that will be pretty sweet.

Other than that, it’s been pretty much solid schoolwork and trying to stay warm.  This weekend looks pretty low-key since no one wants to go running around in the cold.  We’ll see how it goes.  Later!
