Future
As per Comment #5 in the last post, They took out some interactive sex scenes from Indigo Prophecy when they ported it over to PS2 and Xbox. I guess they were pretty similar to the hot coffee crap in GTA. There is still little bits of nudity and of screen sex in the game now. I actually think that having sex implied or off screen is better, seeing videogame characters do it is pretty weird.

Right now the big thought on my brain is graduation, thanks to the pressures of my PhD advisor. He has made it clear (although fairly indirectly) that he wants all of us in our lab to graduate early, maybe within a year. Its an awkward situation since I don't feel terribly ready to graduate, and I don't know if I will in one year when the normal timeline would have had me finish in two more. Its sad that I've been in school for something like 21 years from kindergarten to now basically getting me ready for a career and I don't feel terribly adequate. I think its common in my situation to feel like you are sneaking by, and that most people are better than you. Even realizing that from talking to other people though, I still feel that way; like I'm going to be over qualified for most jobs with my PhD but underqualified for PhD level jobs.

Basically with all that bitching it boils down to living with a lot of uncertainty (which sucks). It always lead me to think that I should have poured more of myself into music or art, something that I enjoy still when I get home after work/school. I don't know what the solution is, maybe I am just wasting too much of my time thinking about it now. Maybe I'll get a good job down the line and feel stupid for having felt so useless.

Well, as long as I don't end up living in Alabama or some shit, I should be ok.
