Updates
Well, hmmm...where to start...it has been a very very long time since I've even looked at this thing. If you are interested on keeping up with me on a more regular basis...then try myspace. I'm much more active on that. My Myspace PageBekka and I are fabulous...better than ever! Since we had that onslaught of rain, and we live in a basement duplex, one of the rooms has started leaking up through the carpet. So, we are now moving. This would have happened anyway just a month or so later, because the duplex we are in got bought by a construction company and is going to get torn down and built into condos. So if any of you don't work on Mondays and would like to make some extra money, we are in desperate need of moving help since I have reinjured my back....go me!!! It's on the 30th. I'm providing money, beverages, food and gameplay for those who participate. My bribery is playing Xbox 360 multiplayer after the moving is done :) On the work front..... Technically speaking I have worked on three games this year....two which are up for some awards. Go Sound Team! I have recently become addicted to hockey! So I have been venturing to see the Thunderbirds play. Sooooo much fun! Come August I will be on a mightly big ship floating around glaciers and perhaps going dog sledding....that or river rafting...I haven't figured out which. Well that's about it for a very quick update. I miss everybody on here....please hit me up sometime. | | Tuesday, December 6th, 2005 | | 8:57 am |
Circular Seamstress wading through the weight of me she must have put on 30 pounds and she's not use to supporting that much weight sifting through useless information getting lost in patterns on the floor suffocating in her mind limp and wearing labels that deem her worthless not bothering to correct herself losing all meaning and thinking life use to be worth living she's blind sided herself and now her vision is blurred. | | Tuesday, February 15th, 2005 | | 6:04 am |
I'm a full time sound designer
I just got hired on officially as a full time sound desiner at Monolith. I'm totally stoked. It means that I finally get to move back to a city, and that this time around I can actually afford it. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I have a super kewl job. :) Oh yes..benefits....here I come :) | | Sunday, January 30th, 2005 | | 12:50 pm |
I'm falling......right up to the point where I know I'm about to hit the floor. I'm uncharacterized by my own intentions. I'm fleeting to false worlds of mystery and escape....into a fantasy that seeps to reality. I'm wandering....in wreckage and seeking treasures. Pearls of gold shimmer before me....and all I can say is she's lovely. She's miraculous to touch...and tears. I just wish I could me more for her. | | Thursday, December 2nd, 2004 | | 9:57 am |
I'm extended
Well, it turns out that I'm probably goign to have a job for a while longer. My contract has been extended yet again. Whooo hoooo!!!! World of Warcraft rockz.....so much that I have no life now. But I do have a lv 21 troll hunter to show for it :) Speaking of which...I'm goign to see if my server is back up. | | Friday, November 12th, 2004 | | 6:39 pm |
This week has been really great. I went out and did some field recording for work on Wensday. Ah, I love being able to get paid doing what I love to do. I sit and play with sounds...or spend my day making sounds, or playing video games, and get paid to boot!!!! I have been working on refining my attention to detail in my sounds. I'm highly disappointed about the fact that World of Warcraft isn't going to be coming out until the 23rd. I was under the impression that they were releasing the collectors addition early, but it turns out it ships along with the regular release. In the comic world, I've been highly enjoying Identity Crisis. Teen Titans has yet to disappoint me, and the new Nightcrawler series is really good. The best x title is by far the Astonishing X-men!!! You have to love that Joss Whedon. I recently got into a large discussion with one of the guys from my online gaming community. He said that he believed in the ban on same sex marriages. While I appreciate the ability for us to agree to disagree....still being friends, I can help but think the majority of people still feel that way. With the elections turning out the way they did...and the fact that we are at war...I have gotten extrememly political again...listening to my news everyday...and currently shopping for a non profit to get involved with so that I can feel like more of a support in the community. Plus, I want to stay educated with the happenings in the world. Bekka and I have our romantical adventure tomorrow. It's her turn to plan. Every Saturday we plan romantical outings for the other..and don't tell them what is happening....typically I can't handle suprises, but in these cases...it's a lot of fun. I want to give a shout out....to my B-lated B-day man...Happy B-day Eric. We will have to do a late B-day gathering sometime...maybe go see the Icredibles??? K....time to go make more sounds... ;P Time to go be....... None other than a GEEKGIRL | | Thursday, September 2nd, 2004 | | 10:35 am |
Life, is still really good. I've been rocking the hiz houz, making sounds for video games. Currently I'm downloading the World of Warcraft Beta to participate in the stress test. Oh let me count the ways in which i love the fair video games. On another note. I might very well have the best girlfriend on the planet. She is the best. This weekend we are going to get a hotel in Seattle, so that we can get up early on Monday and go get wrist bands for the Pixies. I'm thinking of how wonderful this will be and what a lame ass I can be for thinking a hotel, bath, and concert sounds romantic. She deserves better. On the upside though, she never has to be worried about me losing my youthful demeanor. Perhaps the world is right in thinking that I'm a 12 year old boy trapped in a 25yr old female body. We saw this really cute little boy at the comic store the other day, and we were dressed very similarly...down to the same shoes. baggy pants...vans...t-shirt, hoddie if it's cold. My comic collective is getting rather out of hand. I don't think I can afford very many 49 dollar trips. Atleast I have much reading material. Well, that's the update...and babbleness of me. Life is very good!!! Krysten | | Monday, August 9th, 2004 | | 1:23 pm |
life updates
I love doing sound design for video games. In Nov. lots of people are going to be listening to sounds I made. It's really exciting if you are a girl like me. Nov. is the launch date thus far...who knows though...launch dates always seem to get pushed back. I'm going to be building a new computer in the very near future. A friend that I haven't seen in a long while is going to be helping me out. It will be nice to hang out with him again. It feels like decades since we have seen each other. As for my computer, it is going to be a gaming monster!!! It should last me for at least three years before I have to do another upgrade. Our BBQ's have kind of fizzled down, but all is well with that. Cleaning up after potlucks every week gets old. However, the benifits of people bringing amazing food....I don't know it's a toss up right now. I think I"m going to grill ginger sesame kabobs for dinner tonight. I'm itching to use the grill. I go through withdrawl if I wait to long. Some of my gaming friends are going to start playing Shadowrun with Matt and I. Having a few people is always good, but large groups can get slow and boring sometimes. So, I'm looking forward to more than the two of us...but not enough to take an hr to go through one combat round. My girlfriend is the best ever!!!! enough said there!!!! Life all around....is really good. I get to see two of my friends get married next weekend. So, there have been lots of talks of weddings in the air. It will make me happy to see them get hitched. It's interesting though....with all the conversations of weddings. I can't help but think of how I couldn't have one if I wanted to. At least not with the person I'm with. Someday the world will catch up though....and I will be able to marry whomever...and whatever gender I damn well please. That is if I even decide to get married. None the less, I'm extrememely excited to see my friends get married. I love them both very dearly...and I wish nothing but the best of happy days to come to them :) and that about sums up my life to date. Current Mood:  happy | | Saturday, July 10th, 2004 | | 10:09 am |
I have the kewlest job in the world!
I have to say I love my job thus far. Granted it's only been two days, but it's so much fun. It really makes me look at audio as a whole on a much larger scale. Everything I do feels more relative and makes me think that YES, THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO BE DOING. I'm going to see if I can weasel my way into getting the position extended for longer, or hell, maybe turned into a regular position. That's down the road though. For now I'm happy to be doing the things I do for temporary purposes. Monolith rocks the hiz house. | | Sunday, July 4th, 2004 | | 11:32 am |
I'm a SOUND DESIGNER!!!
I just got a temporary position at a gaming house in Kirkland WA. I now have the title of sounds designer!!! YAY!!! I have my fingers crossed that it will turn into something more permanent after I have worked my butt off and tried to impress the pants off them. I'm going to be working closely with four other sound designers there, doing all sort of things. Some of which I'm not allowed to discuss due to the paper work I had to sign that doesn't allow me to disclose certain information regarding gaming titles and things of that nature. I'm just very excited. I love video games, and I love audio. It would be the best things in the whole world if I get to make my work involve both of them. | | Friday, June 25th, 2004 | | 12:08 pm |
Unofficially I'm an intern
It has unofficially been confirmed that I now am going to have a paid internship at a small gaming house just outside of Seattle. I'm very excited! I get to register my internship contract today, and what a hassle that is. Deadline is today, but my sponsor is out of town till Sunday. Academic advising is going to help me register without his signature, so that I don't have to petition my contract and owe the school any more money. I never thought I would say this....YAY for academic advising. | | Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004 | | 8:20 am |
I wanna be a rip roaring bitch
I was brought up honest, but only to the things we consider to not cross lines and turn me into a rip roaring bitch.Except with my old friends from Tejas. There are so many things I would love to say to people here that I keep bottled up, because it isn't polite. My closest friends know how I feel about all of these things, including the ones directed at themselves. Although my closest friends include maybe two to three people in this damn state. Of course, does this make me a shit talker when I don't feel like a friendship is worth discussion over: directly to this person I mean. I've just been extremely contemplative over boundaries, and how I wish I would stop caring about them so that I could just get over the being polite phase and into the rip roaring bitch phase so that I was truly being honest with myself and the world. Who knows maybe it would be an eye opening experience for us all. On other fronts. In theory I am suppose to have an internship at a gaming house just outside of Seattle. This is coming from my contract sponsor although I haven't talked with the company directly. Which is the story of my life right now. I have a job, but I didn't know until it already started. That school is so odd. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>> I'm suprised at the lack of people involved in my graduation process, but then again I suppose I'm not really considering how many people I keep in touch with. I'm transitioning I think, and contemplating where I want to be, what I want to be doing, and who I want involved in that process. Right now I feel like a big move out of state again. I'm sick of it here, while I have some great friends, that make my life interesting enough. I miss the gutts involved, I miss the lack of boundaries I grew up with ivolving my friends back home, fists turning in circles in you belly, because I find the friends I had then honest. We spilt everything out on the table. It was messy and sloppy, and lots of people got hurt. It's better than this though. The passiveness of it all kills me here. The hello, how are you, fine, you....come on tell me something real. Surely everyones life isn't this mundane. (including my own) Surely not everybody locks themselves up inside their homes here. It's a very reclusive state. | | Thursday, June 17th, 2004 | | 3:38 am |

Graduate
Graduation!!! So, I got talked into walking, but only because my mother was graduating too. I'm glad I did it though. So there I crossed the stage, and forgot what everybody said to me....because all my co-workers were waiting at the end of the ramp...making gestrues and such. So, they are what I focussed on. I figure it was a better thing to focus on anyway. After all....I've never even met the president of the college till that day. Anyway, I'm now officially unofficial. I still need 9 credits this summer, but the official part is that I walked across the stage. Now, I have to clean out my office :( and I have to do my evals :( and I have to register for summer school :) that part I don't mind so much. So yay me....the officially unofficial graduate. | | Wednesday, June 9th, 2004 | | 11:17 pm |
O' ......
O' hear comes graduation. With the stress, with the car wreck, with the two tickets I've gotten in the past two days. I now owe the state over 900 dollars, but hopefully I can ge that knocked down to 400. Needless to say I'm getting strapped for cash...lol. So, graduation is Friday. Whoooohoooo. I've been busy working my butt off, voluntering at some studios. Trying to get more resumes out. So, I will keep the world posted. | | Sunday, April 11th, 2004 | | 8:08 pm |
death to spring
I had a friend. He went missing for 6 weeks. Recently they found his body in a river. A woman of whom I work with had an asthma attack. She passed away. | | 8:40 am |
THIS IS TOOOO FUNNY>>>>>Try it!!!!
Try this soon before someone forces Google to fix it. 1) Go to http://www.Google.com 2) Type in -- weapons of mass destruction-- (DON'T hit return) 3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, NOT the "Google search" 4) Read the "error message" carefully - the whole page. Someone at Google really has a sense of humor. | | Thursday, February 19th, 2004 | | 9:14 pm |
AMON TOBIN!!!!!!!!!!!
My girlfriend is the best!!!!! For my B-day (which isn't until March)she is taking me out to eat, and then the day after we are going down to Portland to see Amon Tobin. YAY!!!! He is playing with Kid Koala, Bonbo, Blockhead, and Diplo. I'm totally stoked. | | Monday, February 9th, 2004 | | 5:43 pm |
bigger than you.
my words shed their coat of manipulation, which you lent to me. perspective clashes in front of meaning. so I've given every ounce of tears to you. just because I couldnt see another person get hurt. so you better start chalking up the credit. that for once....I might just be bigger than you. |
