I'm nearing the end of a drama project, it has been taking up a lot of time the past few days. Basically, last Monday, we were put into groups and we got to pick a movie genre. We have to make a short film at least two minutes in length in that genre to the best of our ability. The catch is that we only had two weeks to do so, and pre-production didn't go as smoothly as planned so the group I'm in has been under more than a little pressure, especially today. I've probably done around five hours of work on it today, maybe more. We had a double class plus we stayed after school filming for half and hour. I spent a lot of time editing and even more time transferring ...

It's been a busy week. I had Monday and Tuesday off, which was awesome. We started school a couple of days earlier than the other grouping in my area, so they gave us a long weekend here. Unfortunately, my teachers still crammed five days of work into three. I had two unit exams, and I've felt a little pressed for time. As I'm sure many casual bloggers can relate with, when given the choice between doing something you want to do on the free time you have or actually blogging
about it, most will choose the former. That's why I've been playing a ton of Half-Life 2, which I had never really had the chance (read: never really took the chance to) play until The Orange Box. I finished it Saturday night, and was reminded that I had actually seen the ...

I was not originally expecting to ever get that much time with Guitar Hero III other than what I played with my friend who got it. He brought it over earlier in the week, we finished almost all of co-op in one go. Speaking of which, all the co-op Achievements are glitched, so you can only get them if you're player one, meaning you'll have to do everything over twice with your friend unless team Not Harmonix gets their act together. If you know what I've been saying about Guitar Hero III, you'll know that last statement isn't fair. I've decided that Rock Band will be better long ago. I have to say, the more time I'm putting into the latest installment of the Guitar Hero franchise, though, I'm finding new things I like and new thing I don't. Regardless, it is nice to get to play it. My sister had gotten so into Guitar Hero II that she basically decided she was going to get it as soon as I said I was taking the Harmonix path. At first I didn't really care, but I found myself getting excited as the weekend drew close. Sarah picked up the game Friday and we've both spent some time rocking out on career and co-op. More impressions follow.
