Got a new one up: Walkthrough: Building a Mobile Game in Visual Studio 2008.

I especially like this one because it's a BIG-ASS, very ambitious demo that worked out quite nicely. I'm rather pleased with myself.

On other fronts, I finally turned in version 4 of The Script, as I will refer to it from here on out. Haven't heard anything about it yet, really. But I'm also really pleased with that one. Like v1 (and unlike vs 2 and 3), this one really *zinged* as I was writing it. I had that experience of feeling like "Yes! Omg, this is fucking great." I finally got a lock on the main character, which has taken me some time. After that, everything started falling into place.

We got the go-ahead on the next film. We're starting the brainstorming on Sunday. I'm excited about beginning a big new writing project. At the same time, i also got the go-ahead on an interesting industrial video project that I pitched. That one should be fun, too, albeit potentially stressful because of some aggressive timelines.

In the not-so-great news, I am officially a vampire now (and I'm not referring to Facebook). I've had the worst insomnia. Last night I discovered I had a full-on flea infestation IN MY BED. I didn't go to bed until about 5am, and then I felt fleas crawling all over me, biting my legs, crawling into the most inconvenient locations. I thought it was my imagination but once I figured out it was really happening, I got up, stripped the bed, flipped the mattress, put on clean sheets, and finally got to sleep with a bustling bundle of flea heaven wadded up in the corner (and currently awash in hot bleached water in the laundry room). I didn't sleep until 9:30am, not long after the sun was up. And I woke up again around 5pm, as the sun was going down. I feel like I should be wearing goth.

Lawd, how did this happen? Perhaps if I go ahead and take my trip to Japan, I can keep my schedule and slip into sync. Maybe? (I have no idea what the time zone is there. Let's just pretend.)

Congrats on the good stuff. Sounds wonderful!

On the fleas - do you have an indoor-outdoor cat? (Or do your neighbors?) I once lived next door to a family with flea-farm cats. Every time they flea-bombed their apartment, the fleas came on over to my place. I fled.

Japan is 16 hours ahead of SF time...

lol - you fled. Of course! What else WOULD you do?

She's an indoor kitty. I have no idea where she could've gotten fleas but I suspect from an indoor/outdoor street cat my crazy roommate took in a couple of years ago. She's had flea problems ever since. I use the expen$ive flea stuff on her but they just keep coming back. The past couple of times, the stuff hasn't had any effect, so I'll be changing brands and scouring the apartment. It's a pain, but manageable.

16 hours. So let's see - I woke up at 5:45pm today, which is...9:45am tomorrow in Japan, which is PERFECT! That's it. I'm gone.
