ventana canyon makes for a nice hike, although i think it's all country clubs and desert estates these days sadly.

mitch, tell us 'bout the interactive movie

― H (Heruy), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 12:29 (twenty years ago) link

it's going a little better today. the interactive movie: its a flash-animated (sorry gareth) semi-autobiographical (except for the bits where you choose to do things that i didn't) narrative about a guy (well, me) reversing into, thus denting, a car in the university parking lot. your decision to leave a note or not determines the rest of your day. you also get to cheat on your postmodernism test (i didn't).

6:00 am

i haven't been home. i haven't finished. it's the morning of the exhibition day. i don't know if i can finish. i'm exhausted. i want to throw up. this isn't worth it.

7:40pm

i nearly destroyed myself finishing this in time. but my quicktime movies have been saved in a format such that they are unreadable on my brother's laptop, which i am using to show them. so i have nothing. three weeks of late nights and early mornings and stress and nausea and hard work don't mean shit now.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 18 September 2003 16:47 (twenty years ago) link

no, i'm still at university. it's been 34 hours now. at least i'll sleep tonight.

(maybe you can borrow someone's laptop it will work on)

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 18 September 2003 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

thanks for the sympathy guys. anyway, shortly after posting that, i found a program called 'unify' that made my files compatible. but when i got back it was 2 hours into the exhib and the important ppl had left and hardly anyone was still paying attention. and my projector was faulty.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Friday, 19 September 2003 06:58 (twenty years ago) link

:( sorry mitch, that sucks.

― Vic (Vic), Monday, 6 October 2003 14:11 (twenty years ago) link

three weeks pass...

i've been working like a dog (a dog with passable flash skills) in this computer room for most of the day and i need a break. so, for the next ten minutes or so, it's Ask Mitch Anything© II: Son of Anything. go on.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 1 November 2003 16:41 (twenty years ago) link

tick tock.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 1 November 2003 16:52 (twenty years ago) link

Mitch, whenyagonna post some of your art (films/animations??) stuff on ILX? Some of us are curious indeed!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 1 November 2003 16:53 (twenty years ago) link

@d@ml, i'm glad you asked that. uh, i don't think i have enough bandwidth to host any of the animations. i could post some drawings i guess, but they wouldn't be as neato keen as the ones on the 'draw ilx posters' thread. if i get what i'm working on now kinda right, then maybe i'll submit it for the next ilx comp (it's an animation to music i've made).

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 1 November 2003 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

time is officially up, but i'll take one more. yes, you in the back with the hand raised?

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 1 November 2003 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

no, i wouldn't quite say that. in one of my weaker moments perhaps i've expressed something similar, but that's not really what this is about, at least not for me.

okay, back to work.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 1 November 2003 17:05 (twenty years ago) link

2:05am

still here, still working, very tired. nothing of interest to report.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Sunday, 2 November 2003 00:04 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

what about now?

― rainy (rainy), Monday, 8 December 2003 00:02 (twenty years ago) link

hey rainy! now? still not much going on. it's holiday time though! so i've spent a good three weeks sleeping and drinking and not really quite being the free and easy new me that i promised myself i'd be after the 03 workyear was over. i spend a LOT of 2003 in that computer lab. this year was kinda crummy. one miserable, aborted relationship, about 49 sleepness nights, a mugging and a car accident. nothing really traumatic though, so i shouldn't complain. made some pretty good art, listened to lots of good music, met some new friends. some people here have had it much worse, it seems. anyway, still got lots planned for the next couple weeks, so i can yet re-invent myself and reclaim the oh three in the name of fun. though i suspect that attempting to change yourself through travelling to new places where nobody knows you is kind of a dud idea. oh well, it's 3am, i really really shouldn't still be awake, so g'nite.

hi mitch! what's up?

― rainy (rainy), Friday, 19 March 2004 23:50 (twenty years ago) link

remember when hanle y wz god :(

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 20:22 (twenty years ago) link

all but forgotten, if not for the kindly rainy.

what's up? let's see... trying to cut down ilx usage, failing, hiding behind pseudonym "m." (you'd be disguised too if you'd done drunken london ilx fap karaoke like i've done drunken london ilx fap karaoke), getting lazier, experiencing constant faint sense of imminent unpleasantness, joined a gym (haven't started yet however), convinced of own ugliness again, tired of wanting new things, restless yet lethargic, bored of being single, unsatisfied with own creative work. not entirely unhappy, though.

and you?

― m., Tuesday, 23 March 2004 22:43 (twenty years ago) link

are you still in the desert?

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

we're all in the desert, teeny.

― rainy (rainy), Friday, 26 March 2004 12:24 (twenty years ago) link

indeed we are.

I was thinking the same thing! Come back mitch and rainy!

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 16:48 (nineteen years ago) link

mitch,

i didn't read all the posts on here. i have lived in tucson for about a year and a half, i was in phoenix for 3 years. tucson is a much better place than phoenix...it's not a sprawling strip mall with 115° summers, you can walk around and actually get somewhere (sort of depending on where you are in tucson), the restaurants are better, as is the coffee and, lastly, PDQ RECORDS IS A WAREHOUSE FULL OF WAX!!!
