Hallway Painted.

Just so you don’t think we’re sitting around eating bonbons all day, here’s a picture of the upstairs hallway with the new paint job. Apologies for the color shift- it’s a little too blue here.

Taking The Bus.

Here’s a model I just spent the last day and a half building. It’s 335 polygons, and the texture map is 128x128px (it’s meant to be one of a hundred vehicles in a city scene.)

I’m happy with it—it’s probably the best model I’ve built in the last couple of weeks.

I’ve had this same kind of weekend before, minus the poopy diapers.

It is my firm belief that men like this have the power to change the world. Right on.

Creeping Ennui…

Not much to report around here lately; you can tell the summer blahs have got me firmly in their grip. Jen and I got a bunch of crap done around the house this weekend—the hallway is now a lovely shade of green called celadon, which is light enough to be soothing but muted enough not to send us into fits of homicidal panic. It’s an excellent transition from the downstairs to the upstairs, and provides as neutral a divider for all the other rooms as possible outside of gray. There’s a teeny little hummingbird hanging around Jen’s butterfly bush outside the kitchen window, the first one we’ve seen all year. And we finally got to enjoy the first tomato from the garden on Sunday, which was a treat.

I’m also about a day or two away from finally walking into the Apple Store and buying a new iBook. One more check (hopefully tonight) and I’ll leapfrog five and a half years into the future…

OK, so maybe it’s not so bad over here. And because it’s measured in liters over in Ireland, that great deal I thought we were getting on gas turned out to be very expensive. Stupid Dumb American.
