Hey all!
So here I am, downing a beer, watching the clock as ninjaman hits 1,000,000 plays! At last check we are at 990,000, so not long to go! Later tonight I predict, w00t!
I only got back into town yesterday, prior to that I was up in surfers for a week for a family holiday. Great time, good weather, good fun. Bumming around in the sun, out around in the hustle of the town, and out for dinner with family friends who were also up there. A good (third) break from the inevitable chaos that is Sydney. Rock on!
Ninjaman plays continue to amaze me. The other day we had 180,000 plays in a single day, phoar! We got pick of the day, and pick of the week at the ole’ newgrounds - where we’re sitting at about a quarter million plays. Emails from potential sponsors and other sites wishing to host the game continue to come in, so we look forward to more milestones being accomplished soon!
But fuck it, otherwise, things are good. Decided that life is too busy (ninja is virtually a day job for me now, and thats just PR, bleh). Taking time out to catch up on the ole ps2 and guitar. I’ve underestimated the difficulty in learning an instrument by yourself (had tutoring for the trumpet and sax, way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth). Pumping some mad blues beats. Well not really, but getting there! ![]()
Trying to go healthy and stuff lately. Was reading good medicine while waiting for my flight out of surfers (not going to cover it now - virgin blue fucked up, it took 24hrs to make a 1.5hr flight - virgin suck royally). Anyhow, in this magazine, it was all about energy levels and all that. For me, energy levels directly translates to caffeine, which I totally need to change. So like.. eat more of this, do more of that, etc. I’ll say later if its made a difference ![]()
Summer is just cruisy hey. Now if I wasn’t so broke, it’d be even hotter. Things are going slow on the work front. Had another interview just before I left for surfers, which at the time felt ok, but now.. was pretty sucky, I could have played it much better. The feedback I was getting.. it was good, but I’m not sure if it was to be relied upon. At this rate, I still hope for a job sometime in feb. If this one falls through I have a backup plan, but I haven’t spoken to them for ages, which is kinda chat of me. Want a job relatively soon though, need something to do, and the money heh.
I’ll try and make more of an effort with this blog
But it comes a distant last place, behind exercise, relaxing away from all things electronic, and the desire for beer money. 06 will be the year of physical progress, so here we go
Focusing less on work, more on me. The year of me, hahaha.
Have a good one ![]()
