ナミちゃんお誕生日おめでとう！ / The April Post

もうすぐ誕生日カードを出すよ！おめでとう！

Somehow my endless parade of new hobbies has reduced my posting frequency to approximately once a month. April, here I am. I'll take this opportunity for a quick life update. In no particular order.

• My family vacation where my father and sister visited in March was a blast. We had a whirlwind week: San Francisco, Yosemite, Sequoia National Park, Santa Monica, Universal Studios Hollywood, San Diego Zoo. Dad and I even managed to sneak in a Nashville Predators game.
• Interested in the photos of my vacation? The promised shots from my time in Ireland[muchlessthanthree.com]? Well you’ll be happy to know that they are available on my deviantArt page[deviantart.com], along with a metric ton of other stuff.
• There’s a fantastic band out of San Francisco called LoveLikeFire[lovelikefire.com]. Give them a few listens and chances are you’ll fall in love with them, just as I have. They have a new album called Tear Ourselves Away that is dropping this summer, and the mp3 fairy tells me it’s well worth your money and time. Check out the awesome video for the first single, ‘William’.
  
• An enormous amount of my free time is still being dumped into my Team Fortress 2 map, which now has the working title of CTF-Standoff (official home[levelwon.blogspot.com]). It should be going beta in June, but I have recently drawn up some promotional images (below), because…
  
• I’ve just applied for another level design position. It’s at my current company, on a very prestigious project, so wish me luck! I had my first interview already, and I feel that it went fairly well.

Stay tuned next month for another exciting episode!
