I spent all of last night but 4 hours, editing and exporting the game on Friday. It's a neat opportunity to get paid to do something I would do for free, but editing through the night is definitely influenced by the demand of having the video ready by morning. It seems to be good practice for higher stress video producing.
Since my birthday is coming up so quickly, i decided to try a little social experiment. It's based on a sad observation that friends don't really keep track of the birthdays of their other friends. They leave that to the electronics. Every time some one's birthday comes up it's mentioned on Face book and will remind you the day of the actual birthday. It seems less genuine, since it's a system that gives kids these days a last minute reminder so they can write something short and generic on the wall their friend for their birthday. Instead of receiving these designing "happy birthday" messages this year, I hid my birthday from my Face book. Sure it's been up for a couple weeks, which would've given them enough time to put that into their short term memory enough to say something this coming Monday. I'd rather face the truth that I don't advertise my birthday much or that my friends don't remember my birthday than live in an illusion where Internet comments can make me whole.
And if people do say something on the day, than good on them! I believe in quality over quanity. This will be a good test to evaluate some friendships.
