A Sorta Random List of Important Things

The main thing I need to differentiate between when pursuing something is if I want it or need it. I will try and point this out with my list. This list is mostly a boredom killer and the items on it are of no particular type. ie. some may be material (actual things I can hold) and others can be dates I'm waiting for or an event.

In no particular order.

New computer - Sometime in July - Need
My current computer is way too slow for me to handle any longer. My lazyness sometimes even prevents me from bothering to turn it on because it's so slow.

The 4400 seasons 2 through 4 - Want
This are the only DVDs that remain in my list of DVDs to buy. Although, this does not include the recently finished TV seasons which are not out yet on DVD. (Gossip Girl S2, 90210 S1, Dollhouse S1, Heroes S3, HIMYM S4)

Set Top Box - Not high priority - Want
I want digital TV. Not that cruicial to me though.

New Watch - Anytime - Need
Have you seen my current one? It ugleh. But decent digital watches are impossible to find at a low price so the only good ones I actually like are about $80.

Webcam - Want
Since losing the software for my current one has made my webcam useless, I may as well buy another one. A better one. If software is found for current webcam, it will count as a tick off of this item.

iPhone - Christmas, paid for with money from iPod Touch - In no manner at all a need, purely a shameful want
Yes, I have recently started wanting an iPhone. Yes, I am a spoilt brat. I will be willing to sell my iPod Touch and raise the remaining money to buy this myself as an Xmas present. The newest model of the iPhone comes in 32 GB and the iPhone does not require WiFi to connect to the internet. Therefore, I want one. This will mean I can actually use most of the stuff I have on my iPod Touch outside my house and I will no longer need both an iPod and phone, as they will be in one piece of technology. I feel eternally bad for wanting this.

New semester of school subjects - In about a month - Need
This is only a need because if I don't change subjects soon I will end up killing myself and I need to preserve my life. My subjects right now suck. And if my subjects suck in anyway next semester I will be changing it as soon as I can.

Download Adobe CS4 - when I can find the time - Want
Adobe CS4 is a collection of programs. I'll list the programs to give you an idea.
Adobe Acrobat, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Contribute, Adobe Device Central, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Dynamic Link, Adobe Encore, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Flash, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe OnLocation, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Soundbooth, Adobe Version Cue.
The bolded programs are the ones I am primarily interested in. These programs all vary in tasks like webpage making, graphic making, movie making and flash making.

A job! - As soon as possible - Need
Why? See most of this list.

I think that's about all for my list for now.

The Catch-Up Entry

So I haven't exactly done a solid, wordful blog entry in a long while. I could say I've been busy, but really I've just been lazy.

So school started about three weeks ago and we had two weeks of boiling hot weather. (As pointed out in a previous entry.) Grade 11 so far has been actually a little disappointing. I was expecting to be all like, "Omfg, work and homework overload!!" But... I haven't had anything resembling that as yet. Maybe it's just too early in the year to judge yet.

So, in other news, I finally got a job interview at Coles. It's tomorrow, and the nerves haven't really hit me yet. The thought of possibly getting money regularly is extremely exciting though, and mostly I'm only feeling the exictement atm and not any nerves. Which is a possitive, I suppose. And to stop any thoughts right now, I will not quit this one after one week like my previous job in a workplace I could only describe as "hell".

And in other... other news, Morality. I completed the planning for my novel, Morality yesterday and I'll be starting to write it as early as tonight (but I doubt it) or tomorrow. At the latest, I'll start writing on Sunday, as I'm busy every day until then.

I made myself a list of Morality tasks and when I'd like to complete them. Please note, these are both an estimation and non-official deadline. I'm not guaranteeing any of these things will be release on their said date, only that I'm hoping to have it finished by that date. Any event could seriously make these dates impossible to comply with.

Character Advertisements: 28th February
Full Advertisement: 15th March
Website: 20th March
First Chapter Release: 15th April

Character advertisements are teasers/ads about the characters. It'll give you some information about them, as a basis of understanding the story. Each character advertisement will be released individually over a period of time.

The full advertisement is an advertisement essentially about the story itself. It'll be a plot basis, a blurb, a section from the novel itself, or a tiny quote that summarises everything. I don't know what the style will be, but it will be decided when I get up to it. Note that no other advertisements are on the list, but there will be more. The Full Advertisement is only the first advertisement. Many more will follow in many other styles with more information about the novel. So don't panic.

The website will be similiar to how the Mayland website was run. It will have updates, a guestbook and will have all chapters viewable on the site. Although, the Morality will be much better than the Mayland website, considering the difference in style of the two stories. ie. The Morality website will be more organised and user friendly than the Mayland site was.

The first chapter release kinda speaks for itself. That is the date I'm hoping to release the first chapter. When the first chapter is release, the other chapters will then be released weekly after that. This will be decided when the whole novel is completed and the releasing of Morality is actually near.

Okay, I'm nearly done, I promise. The names for the three male characters mentioned in a previous blog entry have finally been finalised. Although, because I'm mean that way, I will not be releasing them until the character's own advertisements later on. Sorry. It took me a while, but I finally decided on names that I felt fit well with the characters.

I must say, that after finishing planning Morality and seeing how it's all going to go, I'm really happy with how it's going to turn out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. But I guess it all depends on the writing itself for me to know for sure.

So, I'm done ranting for now. I hope I didn't bore you.
