UNCERTAINTY
this week's been emotional. raymond thought he was going to get fired. i travelled all over the place. i found out i was finally going to get to move to san francisco. i realized i wouldn't be able to afford it. i waited to talk to our president all day yesterday about the move and a possible wage increase. without the extra scratch, it looks like i'll be grounded here. i wanted to have the chat yesterday, but it never occured. the waiting is really killing me. "battle royale II" sucks. tarkovsky's "stalker" is amazing. i finished metroid: zero mission in 4 hours, eight minutes. much was left unexplored. i'll hit 100% my second time through. it's really incredible, despite it's length. if nintendo would trust our skills and not direct our progress through the game using checkpoints, the game would be much longer. trust us, nintendo. later tonight? into work to make metal gear: the twin snakes movies. it's great, btw. tomorrow? sessions covering champions of norrath. monday? the ut2004 lan party at atari, a 6:30 flight to bend, oregon out of lax, and hopefully that phone call. i'm really worried. end transmission.
