My Scattered Return...

Currently listening to: "If I Was Your Vampire" by Marilyn Manson

So it's been three weeks since the last post...

Since the last writing they still haven't found a replacement for me for my old job, so I've been doing two gigs for the price of one...the silver lining to the mushroom cloud is that I've been collecting a lot of overtime, but the stress has been overwhelming especially at this point in time...not that I've been outwardly complaining, but they keep telling me to 'be patient'...they haven't even started interviewing anyone yet...

I had a whole list of things I compiled to talk about here on ye olde blog, but I can't seem to find it right now...so, um, yeah...so I'll just say this: I started taking anti-depressants... I've been depressed for a really really long time and the death pushed me a little further towards the edge... After I take that tiny little pill I can feel that there is a chemical in me...and I guess it works in a sense because (for now?) it gives me stomach pains and diarrhea...which took my mind off being depressed...just replacing one pain with another...I thought this shit was supposed to make you happy or whatever...

Oh, not that anyone will really care, but the new albums by Nine Inch Nails and Ozzy Osbourne that were released in the past month or so both suck giant balls...they need to just stop...the new Megadeth has great riffs but Mustaine's voice still irks me sometimes and he gets really preachy as this album is obviously inspired by the Iraq war and the current state of the US...but it has a reworked version of "A Tout Le Monde" (with Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil on guest vocals), which is cool but I never know how to feel when bands cover their own songs on future albums...

Smallsac!

My Silent Return...

Somebody sent me one of these survey things...and I was sitting around doing nothing. so I filled it out...then for some reason I thought I'd post it here since I haven't written anything here in a while...it's below the rest of this message...

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and support...it was all very much appreciated...sorry I haven't really been in touch...and sorry in advance if you don't get regular updates from me...

In other news, I recently got promoted at ye olde job...it was either take that or jump ship to do TV editorial work at another company...which would have been tempting, but I'll be handling approvals for toys and games now (plus the food/candy/beverage accounts I already managed), which is something I haven't really done much of...I did come in at the tale end of development on the mobile phone games "Brady Bunch Kung Fu" and "Jimmy Neutron's Dimension Dash" at Viacom - but that was mostly testing and QA stuff (my name's in the credits though)...so yeah, I'll take a stab at the toy/game thing for a little while and see what happens...
