A Purple Wedding Present

Music at the Moment: Prince - (There'll Never B) Another Like Me

So, the wedding was very nice despite all the obstacles popping up over the last few months. More on the ceremony and such to follow.

The great news is the release of three new albums this year. Two are purely Prince while apparently one is another new protege named Bria Valente. Regardless, I'm jazzed.

More to come on the site below.

Unrlz 4rlz. Srsly.

So this term I had Texture Mapping for Games. I just sort of shrugged when I read it over and thought it might be, at the most, "interesting."

I had no idea I'd love it so much. In fact, I think texturing may very well be the niche I aim for if I decide not to go to Vancouver Film School.

This is my final project in which I constructed the geometry for a level in Unreal and then created and applied textures. I was very pleasd with the end result.

Phun with Names or "Holy Crappellation!"

I live for inventive names. Collecting them is a hobby dating back to middle school and the discovery of Magdelena Babblejack and Swanera Crudup.


So, over the years of Myshe and Bryan working for call centers and having to deal with the high turnover of employees, we get many a giggle over the names we encounter.


A couple of days after Thanksgiving, I and some friends that came down from Ohio all converged on my mother's house to spend time with her after the cancer diagnosis.


Billie, a nurse, told us about one of the best I've yet to encounter.


Doing paperwork, her co-worker called a patient to confirm appointments. Listed on her file, her name was "Le-a." The nurse called and asked if she could speak to "lee-uh." when the patient got on the phone she was upset at the mispronunciation of her name. She couldn't understand why no one could say it right. She explained to the nurse:


"The dash don't be silent!" Her name is pronounced "Le-Dash-uh"


After peeing myself, I began to think about all these gems and how I should share. So I'll be asking Myshe and Bryan to bring me new ones and I'll post them when I have them. Fast, safe, cheap family fun!
