August the 31st means the annual Fireball fight in Nejapa, El Salvador. Two sets of locals celebrate a 1922 volcanic eruption by throwing gasoline-soaked rags at each other.

After the last crazy month I’m just now starting to get back into the groove of everything. Working on school stuff (homework, papers, etc), even though I still don’t have my books yet (yeah, thanks Chegg. I’ll be writing a review about you later). I’ve finally found what I’m going to stick with and get my degree for. I’ve been through a few different programs now at PPCC but I’m going to go ahead with the Electronics Technology AAS. I’ll probably get it in December of ‘09. It’s working with circuits and other things in that area. It’s something I’ve always had fun with but never really pursued.
Video stuff is kind of coming along. We’ve talked about doing a short proof of concept for one of the movies we’re planning. I think that’s going to end up really good, and we’re thinking about getting it done in the winter months here. Other stuff was all put on hold for me during that busy month, but I’m working on getting everything back up and running.
Church stuff is coming along. We’re gearing up to start pre-production work on our Christmas “play” for this year. It’s going to be a major one, and be full of a lot of awesome. I’m working on ad concepts, lighting ideas, special effects ideas, etc. I’m also always working on general marketing and ad ideas for the church. One thing I’m going to try and organize is a fundraiser so the video department can get the new equipment that we need. I don’t have any ideas for this yet, but it’s definitely on my mind.
Getting a job is sort of coming along. I thought I was going to have time to do that last week, but there was still so much to be done. This week I’m really hitting that hard, but first I need to update my resume with all my new info and such. I think I’ll be looking for something in computers, just because I know that and have experience already. It’ll have to be part time with all of my other work.
So that’s my life right now. I’ll have a lot more time for blogging now that August is over, so expect to see a lot more here soon.

Working on a video, working on school stuff (hoping I get the rest of my books in!), working on church stuff. I have had no time for sleep this week with everything I’ve been trying to do. I am definitely using Monday as a vacation day. I will do absolutely nothing but some gaming.
Then I’m back to working. More school (16 credits), more church work (so many ideas), finding some actual paying work (so I can buy Dew, of course). But yes, this totally explains my absences on here.
