sigh

It always comes down to the last minute.

I'm packing everything away. I have tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night. Then it's down to LA and Siggraph - a little earlier than I originally thought.

And then... after a few weeks... it's back to New Orleans.

I still need to actually confirm the moving pod thing for shipping my stuff to New Orleans. I have the forms and they need filling out and e-mailing. I have a little checklist of Things That Need Doing. I have a bag of stuff destined for Goodwill, and I should make sure Sammi and Stacey know that that's where it's going, instead of back to New Orleans with me.

Mostly, I just need to pick clothes Siggraph and the weeks until I'm reunited with my junk, cram the rest back into boxes, seal them all up (I'm out of packing tape, damnit) dismantle my bed, and pack the computer away.

I "just" need to do all that.

Luckily I seem to have gotten over the running in mental circles and weeping phase of this. But I think I'm going to go for a walk right now.

Didn't I have more socks, once upon a time?

games as art

Endless Fire - "abstract vector shmup" with enemies and shot patterns that supposedly evolve as you play. This is the same guy that made the quake art-videos that were on BoingBoing a few days back. Link from Greg Costikan's blog. Also Avseq, a "psychedelic sound sequencing game".

I should be finishing off my packing.
