Well, the remainder of August turned out to be fairly interesting. I managed to get into some fairly domestic routines looking after the place and just being somewhat house-husband-like. Anastasia and I also went to see Stardust and Superbad, both of which were good in their own ways. Robert De Niro in Stardust was a very different role for him and one I’m not likely to forget any time soon. I would thoroughly recommend them both, for very different reasons. Superbad in particular makes no attempt to pretend to be anything but amusing mind-candy, which it does very well.

This week I also was a bit more proactive in my pursuit of obtaining gainful employment at the local game company, Artificial Studios. Since emailing them last year and earlier this year didn’t appear to produce any results, I started calling them up, talking to people and leaving messages. I’m going to continue this more proactive approach until I get something out of them. ^^ I’ve started to look into game development more seriously, both from the technical and entrepreneurial standpoints. I’m hoping to develop my skills in both areas and later see if I can’t start up a game studio of my own. Lots of study and work to do before that happens, however.

Last and certainly not least,we had the celebrations for Lea’s 21^st birthday! We went out with her and a bunch of her friends to a restaurant downtown called Dragonfly. Asian cuisine and very tasty at that. The atmosphere was pretty nice, the only thing that I had to complain about was that it was a tad on the expensive side. Places like Bento Cafe or Tatu are probably better value for money in the Gainesville area. That aside, it was a fabulous evening and everyone had a lot of fun, especially Lea, which is of course the main thing. We made sure that Lea had plenty of fun things to drink as well, now that she was legally of age to drink them in public. ^^
