I know, I know
I'm terrible at keeping this blog up. I just forget I have it sort of. I haven't been keeping up with my friends blogs either. Probably part of the problem.
The past two months have been incredibly rewarding and jam packed. E3 was in the middle of July, we had a lot of work leading up to it and then random circumstances came into play and my life over the next two months took a dramatic twist that I couldn't have seen coming.
Since then, I've been swamped with work and travel. I spent a weekend in New York City with our lead MP programmer, our producer and a Resistance tournament. My brother came up and I hung out with him as well. That weekend involved drinking, gaming, Broadway, the WTC, and more.
I found myself in Seattle, spending the weekend at PAX - but more importantly, getting a chance to validate the previous six weeks of e-mail and phone calls. After skydiving, eating amazing food and just hanging out - it was pretty much one of the best weekends I've ever had. I closed it off by spending time with Matt Johnson hiking and hanging out, as well as seeing his new place and dog. Then, I had dinner with my family - grandparents, aunt, and my aunt, uncle, cousin and the newest addition to the family 4 week old Selah.
A few days later, it was off to Lincoln - where I saw Johnson some more as he stayed with me at my parents for Matt Brand's wedding. I went to the football game, ate at the Oven and Lazlos (twice), and it was just good to be home for a while. The wedding was fun too, with lots of friends I hadn't seen and a lot of time to catch up.
Last weekend I was in San Diego, hanging with Ashley and Amber, and watching football with them. Always good to see Nebraska play with friends.
Mere hours from now, I'm taking a flight back to Nebraska for the USC/Nebraska game. The first instance during my lifetime of Nebraska facing the #1 team in Lincoln. Also the first time ever that team isn't Oklahoma. This is a huge game, a statement game. On paper, it doesn't look good, USC should win. But College Football is about heart, intangibles, and willing yourself to win. The crowd will be ready, will the players? We'll find out. GameDay is in town that morning, and I'll have plenty of other time to get good food and hang out. Looking forward to it.
Next weekend is promising to be interesting. It's a continuation of E3 and Seattle, and it opens on Thursday with the Arcade Fire at the Hollywood Bowl (a show I have 6th row tickets for). Given everything since Seattle, I am very excited - though I had a 3am MSN message throw a wrench at me this morning that could change everything. Move to London? That said, I wouldn't ever get in the way of a great opportunity, but it's not exactly what I was expecting when I woke up this morning.
Anyways, I realize I've been rather vague about some aspects of the past couple months. With extra doubt caused by this morning, it's particularly intentional at this aspect. I hope to share a lot more with you in the future, and I hope to keep this updated a little bit more regularly from here on out.
Until then, you all are in my thoughts. If you are in Lincoln this weekend, call my cell. I'll be around.
