I'm not dead yet.
I believe I mentioned that this wouldn't be updated very often.
Didn't believe me?
So...... What has happened since last May?
Well, in September I was accepted into the Just A Start Bio-Medical Careers program, which trains qualified individuals in a nine month intensive program that readies them for the Bio-Tech field. I have about 3 months to go.
Two weeks ago we started in the lab at Bunker Hill Community College. This is where it should get interesting. All of the theoretical learning was nice, but hands on is always better. Plus, I have an excuse to say Erlenmyer. :)
About the same time I started the JAS program, I finally got a call back from Harmonix, where I had interviewed for a QA position. Unfortunately, I had to turn down their offer for employment. What?! Turn down a job playing Rock Band for money, that might eventually allow me to work up to the art department? Sadly, yes. Education wins. At least the Harmonix guys told me to give them a call if Bio-tech doesn't work out. Gladly, as it seems like a really great company to work for. It was a very hard decision, and it made me sad to make it.
Other than being busy with homework and tests, thats about it.
I am still going to River Gods on the last Tuesday of the month for their Guitar Hero / Rock Band night. It is way more fun than it should be, and Dewars sponsors the night, so there are good drink specials and Dewars swag. I could, at this point, wear a different Dewars Tshirt each day of the week, while sipping a drink from my Dewars glass and lighting things with my Dewars zippo, all while staying toasty wrapped in my Dewars blanket. "I'm a consumer whore!" "and how!"
I will actually try and post again a bit sooner.
Oh, and Zed, the zombie Munny? Someone who works for Dreamsworks bought him. I hope he is enjoying his new home.

Update
Ok, so its a new month. We are starting to get into routine.
Joined a gym. We plan on going 3 times a week. So far, so good. Only missed one of those days last week due to a bad headache on my part. We watched Planet Earth in HD instead. Absolutely beautiful.
I had a great time at the River Gods pub at their Guitar Hero II night. It was a blast! We met a couple that live just down the street who also have a wii, and introduced us to a new game. They call it Horse balls, but it is known by many other names, including Ladder Golf. Its a great yard game where each team throws three bolos each that mare made from two golf balls and some rope at a three-rung ladder target. Bottom bar is worth one point, middle is worth two and the top is worth three.
I also customized and painted a Munny from Kid Robot for an art show at Star Clipper in Saint Louis. I just mailed it off yesterday, so let's hope it gets there before the Friday cut off date.
