Quick update...

[jetpack_monkey]

I want to take a little more time to ponder cesperanza's request about continuity errors, so it's moving to later in the month.

Working on Festivids has been kind of a slog this year, which makes me sad, since I was on fire last year. I am trying to be more... I don't know... forgiving of myself? I suffer from depression and ADHD and I can't compare my productivity at one point in the year to the same point the year previous. It doesn't work that way. I need to accept that.

Also, I am still playing lots and lots of Borderlands 2. And do not get me started on System Shock 2.

Thank you for sharing about Festivids! I've been feeling scared of my assignment, and avoiding it, and doing everything else, so in a "misery loves company" context, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. Every time I turn on the TV, but not to rewatch the source, I feel guilty.

If you need a sanity check, beta, or cheerleader, send me a direct/private message or shoot me an email at nate AT monkeyswithjetpacks.com. I will keep your assignment secret, keep it safe.

Oh, that would be awesome, thank you!

Last year you made all the Festivids. You've more than earned the right to pace yourself this year, if it were a right that needed to be earned, which it isn't.

So far I've conquered the known universe in an attempt to avoid thinking about Festivids. I am hopeful about my new song, though. I still need to sit down and fill the timeline, but it seems like it will be a less arduous process now.

Yeah. There's that too. Being in competition with myself instead of just going "Hey, I did an awesome thing last year" is stupid.

I am really excited to see your vids this year.
