I just wanted to wish all of you a very merry Taiwanese Constitution Day, from the bottom of my brain.
Truly, this day is one of the year's finest, with gift-giving and time well-spent with family and friends -- Or on your laptop early in the morning editing this soon-to-be-uploaded bad boy. That's me, not you.
YOU are enjoying yourself, or at least you'd better be. Seriously, you.

Winter Plans
Contrary to common sense -- which I'm not particularly a fan of -- I'm doing very little with videos over Winter Break. At this stage, the proverbial You isn't too large a group, and I'm probably too hard on myself for wanting something different out of my online efforts. Every time I'm slow to upload or putting together a shoddy episode I feel as though I'm letting someone down, even though it's never the editing or quality that people comment on. It's me. And those comments aren't too negative; Hell, they're pretty positive. So I'm doing something right, clearly. However, I want something new to do.
I've got an idea, though! I mean it this time! My interests are pretty diverse, and it's been hard nailing something down. Gameplay commentary is exciting about an eighth of the time; the rest is rather monotonous and finicky. I really wanted to do some sort of tutorial series, but it occurred to me that such efforts tend to benefit few -- that, and I'm going through the Quarter-Life Crisis wherein the pursuit of knowledge is just the sexiest damn thing I can imagine. Other folks may not idolize the Jack of All Trades mindset so much. After tutorials, I figured: Hey, I'm a great narrator. How's about some story time, or discussion of controversial topics? I honestly may still be interested in this path, but I wanted a big idea for now. And I've got it, I think. Not telling, though. Sorry.
In other news, I enjoyed this past semester. Beginning my trek towards a Computer & Information Science degree, and kickin' each classes' asses along the way. I also started learning how to play the piano, which was a seriously enriching experience that I hope to stick with. A JAVA object-oriented programming course straightened me out a bit regarding the language, and I might even prefer it to Python coding now, despite the difference in complexity. A Mesoamerican Anthropology course reaffirmed my knowledge of Aztec and Mayan culture given to me by Age of Empires II, and an Introduction to Sociology course reminded me that, no matter how hard I try, I am statistically destined for sadness and stagnancy. Woo!
I won't stop until that voice in my head starts talking back to me, and I will bond with you like a British spy.
