Racing rats

So what's happened during the past couple months? A lot and a half, of course. I've been stuck in a loop of video games - surprise, surprise. Mostly it's been Monster Hunter, then Dissidia, and then Professor Layton, and now, Suikoden Tierkreis (which I'm thoroughly loving, btw). Unfortunately, the PS2's been pretty neglected of late.

Oh, I've been able to catch up on some reading too. Finally got around to reading Ender's Game - and eventually finished it too - and more recently started reading this steampunk novel, The Scar by China Mieville. It's quite fun, despite its poetically taxing narrative descriptions.

I have, however, gotten the ball rolling on getting myself back into the rat race. Why, just last week, I had two interviews for the same company. I was supposed to get a callback last Friday, but I suppose people get busy too. Now I just have to wait and sit tight. *crosses fingers*

My dad's company got me into another project too - a poster design of sorts. I was given a sample design - an eyesore of a design, one probably created in MS Word - of what they wanted they wanted the finished product to look like. After about an hour of Photoshop, I came up with my own version.

I couldn't find any nice (royalty-free) picture yet, but I did show them this:

Now I have to take out the central image and find something to replace it with. I'm thinking it's high time I learned how to do vectors. But to do that without a mouse... sigh.
