Doug Carter's JournalSaturday, October 22, 20056:54PM - helpful advice from a helpful sourceTo say the least, I was feeling a tad below the norm in my classes this quarter. It just seems that I am paying attention every second, and yet, I am still needing help and advice before and after class. But thanks to my sister, I have come to realize something. Teachers are there to TEACH students. I am paying them to get a good education in Game Design, and they do need to make sure that I get the information. "How could you do the assignment if you don't know it?" I was asked. good point. I need to get the information, if I want to get the assignments.

I am justletting you all know, if anyone even reads this anymore, that in a month, I will no longer be on livejournal, so check me out on My Space. I am known as "Captain Carter" I might update this now that I only have a month to go. so laters Thursday, April 28, 20057:57PM - updated againfor the few people who still watch this thing, I am updating. Sadly, this morning at 12:00, I had to pass on the crown of Super Smash Brother's Melee on to my Friend Kai. He clearly is slightly better than I am. I could not even beat him with Link, and I can beat ANY one with Link. ohhh well. I could caen his clock in Generals any day, so I still have that running for me. I am really getting into my character design and game design classes, so it is really neat. I also had my 1st test in Game Design. 80%, so a B-, but I would have preferred better. Next time I am sure I will get to at least 90, that is my goal. other than that, I am just glad it is the weekend.

Tuesday, April 12, 200510:24PMBeen a long time since I have posted. After I cleared the cobwebs, and dusted off the VERy dusty shelves, I am once again, writing in my livejournal. Current mood:  confusedSaturday, March 5, 200511:01PMThis is not really news, but I now know, FOR SURE, that I have talked to someone on the other side of the globe. I probably did through all my previous online games, but I know for sure now. I just spoke with my elder sister, who is upon the continent of Australia. She is going to ask someone my question tonight, so I hope that goes well. other than that, I am just glad it is Saturday night.... and I am at home....... on my computer.....MAN it is fun. Current mood: cheerfulCurrent music: Flint Hill Special (played on a harpsichord) Wednesday, March 2, 200510:41PM - FINALLY beating Mershthis morning, a first did arise while I was at A.I. For the first time, I actually beat my friend mersha in Street Fighter. He was using a new character, but I figured since I hadn't played for a month, that I still deserved to feel accomplished in beating a fellow street fighter gamer. Monday, February 21, 20056:28PM - registration is completedSadly, this morning, we heard the news that a great writer has left our presence. the great Hunter S. Thompson is gone. Great writer, as I have read a lot of his work. I am just glad that my sister is taking it well. Saturday, February 19, 20058:51AM - Mediocre eveningWell, yesterday afternoon and evening went pretty well. Me and my mom left about 2, and I went over to blockbuster to inquire about my application. I got the same answer, wait for a call, so starting tomorrow, I am going to go out and get applications for other stores. We then went down to Santa Anita Mall, as we were going to check out the new theaters. We went to see Constantine, and, for the subject manner, I thought it was a reasonable movie. I wish more would have been explained, as several things were important, but I did not know what they were about. I was a bit annoyed that Keanu Reeves had a similar part in this movie to the Matrix. It makes me worried he is type cased, and that is a BAD roll for him to play. The theaters I did not see anything greatly amazing about it. The Screens were smaller than the Krikorian, and one can get lost in the maze of tunnels. the only thing that was different is you were able to recline slightly in the seats.

The news was QUITE good. for only 900, the mechanic is going to fix my car, and it should be ready by tomorrow. HAZZA!!!! as a former teacher of mine would say. By Wednesday afternoon, I will be driving my car. This should allow me to obtain a job and actually save some money to get a better one later. Besides that, not much is going on. Valentines day passed as it normally does, though I was upset that I did not have the patience to obtain a card for my sister. She says it is ok, but I still feel bad about it.

Wednesday, February 9, 200510:23PM - A Night and Day of Car TroubleWell, I finally have some events that merit an entry in my livejournal. i wa coming home from School last night, and my car started to really act weird. it was acting like I was trying to go 15 miles an hour in 4th gear. about a mile before the 210, I started slowing down, with no way to speed up. I was really nervous. I kept hoping that I could make it home. right as I was merging onto the 210, the engine died. Since I couldn't restart my engine going 40, I took Buena Vista street, and pulled to a stop. I started the car, but I could only go about 2 miles an hour. I finally got just past the red of the curb, and the car gave out on me. Sheesh. I called my mom, and she came and picked me up. I got to school today using my mom's car, but we need to either fix the car I have now, or hopefully get my dad to get me another car. Whatever choice, it is going to be an annoying week or 2 without having my own car. I also just realized that next tuesday, my sister is going to fly to Australia. Looks like I can't go to school, SH*T. got it over to the 76 station on Santa Anita, and I hope that it is something they can just quickly fix for cheap. Current mood:  exhaustedCurrent music: Banjo duelling Thursday, February 3, 200510:59AMI had a long in class discussing with my storyboarding teacher. It was full of arguments, but basically, I learned why I have to do all the boring stuff that are required. It is not necessarily the subject manner of the class, but what you get from it. I will probably not have spend hours on a single letter, but I will learn how to work diligently on a boring project and get it done well. well, looks like I still have to go to school Wednesday, February 2, 20058:33PMWell, it appears that modern music has struck me again. Last night, coming home, first heard "1985" and it was pretty good, though I think almost all modern music lacks any kind of purpose. I don't even know why the hell I am posting this. Sunday, January 30, 20058:42PMWell, it appears that I can finally post without the backdated thing being checked. I just got home from seeing Sideways. It had a few good moments, and a few good laughs, but overall, it was not a good movie. From the very beginning, it was slow, and I did not really even get the plot until about a quarter of the way through it. Plus, it is annoying to have movies remind me that I am not in ANY kind of relationship or close to one. Just not the best movie. 2 out of 5 stars Current mood: confusedCurrent music: Toy Dolls-Banjo fight Saturday, January 29, 200512:30PMJust so everyone knows, due to a screw up of my computers internal clock, I posted 3 times a month in the future. Just scroll down to find my latest entries, including the announcement of EA 12:28PM - RevelationI do realize that last night's entry was rather bleak and depressing. Thanks to a chat with my eldest and wisest sister, I have come to realize something. If we do not trip-up sometimes in what we do, then how are we to grow and get a better skill at it. I was on a roll with drawings, and it was just annoying to fail after such a long time of good drawing. I just tried to do too much too soon. I am going to do a drawing for my one family member who has nothing of mine, my sister, and then I might try ONE of the Chun-Li's again. Hopefully I can do that well, as well as my sister's animal. Current mood: artisticCurrent music: Dueling banjos Friday, January 28, 200510:55PM - Confused depressionI am totally at 6's and 7's with my life right now. I am doubting my skill as an artist, as a gamer.....and pretty much everything else as well. I know depression, and it is normally not as confusing as I feel right now. I believe that I have been beaten by my attempt of drawing Chun-li. Maybe I have no business trying to draw anime, or ANYTHING actually. This sure feels like depression, but I feel like I have stumped myself with basically all the aspects of my life. maybe I will feel better in the morning, but I sure hope that I can at least stop being confused about my depression and all. Current mood: confusedCurrent music: Rhythm of the falling rain Thursday, January 27, 200510:29PM - just that this applied to me
