In the beginning...

The two week break is finally upon me. Though I must admit, it doesn't really feel like a holiday/vacation. I have two projects due on the week that I return, which means that I have a lot of ground to cover over the next two weeks. But still, it's nice not to have classes. I'm also going to be able to finish up a lot of online things, and focus on my next two big online projects (N-Sider.com and Killing-Bill.com).

I'm also going to be going to Phillip Island this Thursday through Sunday, which will be great. I'm definitely going to enjoy having a few days to just refresh and relax myself.

Even this weekend has been kinda nice, since I've not had to worry about doing a huge amount of schoolwork for the coming week. I've had the opportunity to just spend time going out with friends and stuff, which has been nice. There's a cafe just near where I live, which I'd never been to until a week ago (despite it being there for about six or seven years now). I finally went there last week, and again yesterday. I really enjoyed it. And the alcohol is a lot cheaper than in many of the clubs and pubs out there. I don't drink much alcohol at all, but when I do, it's nice not to have to spend a fortune on a tiny little bottle, simply because you're at some little club that thinks too highly of itself. ~_^

I was also thinking about a few other things in recent days. Remember when I mentioned the lovely package that Juu-chan sent me? Well, I was considering some ideas that might be fun, when it comes to that sort of thing. Obviously, I want to send a package back to Juu, but I was thinking about something else a little broader.

For example, I've been toying with the idea of designing t-shirts with OtakuBoards/theOtaku logos/graphics on them, to send out as awards or something. I was thinking that this might be useful and fun when it comes to Anime Expo and various events like that.

Depending on the cost, it wouldn't simply be a boring t-shirt with a logo on it. I'd probably do some funky image for it or something. The thing is though, is this something that anyone would actually want to wear? I figure, if I can make something that looks cool (and not uber-dorky), it might actually be worth producing and sending out. What do you guys think about that? If I were able to get some really cool gear made up, would you actually want to wear it to an event or something?

It's definitely worth considering, I think. I've actually been planning something similar with N-Sider, for events like E3 and such.

Anyway, other than that, there isn't a whole lot to talk about really. Maybe I'll have something a bit more juicy to tell you in my next update.
