Death and Taxes
Thursday morning I finished my taxes. Hooray for e-filing.
Then it was off to the hills for a quick hike.
That is, for most of the people there, it was a quick hike. I just died about halfway up the climb. Slightly embarrassing, having to lag behind as I did. I say that I miss the days when I was 5′11″ and 150 pounds, but I never really do much to try to return to those days.
Slightly cooler than dying on the hike was talking to a possible employer about sound design stuff. It’s a game audio position for an Xbox Live Arcade project, and it looks pretty fun. Hopefully some good luck will be with me as I persue it! Lately there have been a lot of pings for sound guys shot my way, and while the follow-ups have always been positive, they also seem to want guys who can hit it full-time. Two years ago I would have jumped right in, but now that I’m two years into my MFA, I just have to see it through. This latest ping, however, seems to be just the right kind of project with the right kind of scale for me and my student status. Here’s hoping!
