I recently found out that using you Procrastination Skillz to finish a presentation for the next day, not getting a minute of sleep, then staying up till 2 am, isn't good for your body. I feel like I never slept in my life. I couldn't even fall asleep if I wanted.

Amazingly enough, I found that I have over 30 gigs of audiobooks.
My library will be available as soon as I can get an additional hard drive and the software loaded for perusing them.

Yeh, that guy's spitting movies out like crazy. You know he's doing too many movies when you go to see one of his films, and in the previews, you see him appear for another upcoming movie!

Recently found: XSI is a lot easier for me to grasp now that I have a better knowledge of 3D modeling; I'm actually beginning to like it quite a bit.
Also, some cool tips and tricks for low-poly game modeling. One that I think is really cool is using quads with an alphatest opacity for the ends of round objects and other small details. Another I found nifty in there is a technique for low-poly coils of barbed wire using quads + alpha opacity.
Last thing:
d'Artiste Character Modeling 2 book including several characters and creatures from Gears of War, detailing both hi-poly and low-poly mesh creation.

There is an astonishing amount of quality documentaries on Google Video. I recently found this documentary of Arthur C. Clarke explaining the nature of fractal images.

I recently found, that if you tense the muscles in your neck while playing guitar, like most people, unknowingly do, you get tired of playing really really fast.
that's, physically tired.
When concentrating on relaxing every muscle in your body to the limits of staying upright, you can play for hours more, and not get all kinds of craps / exhausted.

I just found out that I personally studie much easier when I'm a bit stoned, as it elliminates all the distractions around me, since I can only focus on one thing at a time when I'm stoned.
And that one thing can be a textbook if I want it to be.
*************************************************************
BUT I WOULD NO RECOMMEND ANYONE TRYING THIS OR TAKING THIS AS ADVICE.

Found this:
From a little book called "Disorder in the Court." They're things people actually said in court, word for word.
Includes the following exchange that nearly made me weep with laughter:
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?
A: It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

I found the game s.t.a.l.k.e.r. in the shops today, bought it, and it's great.
It's missing some minor elements and my pc can't run it very smoothly on anything but low settings, but even then it's still nice.

ROFL, good thing it wasn't. The Next Generation rocks.
Recently Found: XSI has awesome poly modelling tools, image planes ("Rotoscopy"![<img src=]()
" SRC="images/smiles/dizzy.gif">) are a pain though.

I think the reason my XSI never worked was my broken RAM. I might give it another try.
