+ I saw the play Two Pianos, Four Hands today, and it was the best play I've ever been to. Through the whole thing I was non-stop smiling and laughing; for piano-players who have gone through classical training, this is it, this is the epitome of in-jokes and inspiration.

+ After seeing said play and being inspired as such, I decided to spend six hours learning, perfecting (to the best of my ability) and memorising the complete second half of Rachmaninoff's Étude Tableau Op.33 No.8, as well as the incredibly strenuous third and fourth lines of his more famous Prelude in G minor. Now I can't wait to spend another good 3-5 hours tomorrow practicing some more, and some more.

If I want to own my ARCT (professional performing/teaching certificate) which I'm getting ever so close to, spending this much time ballin' out on the piano aught to have me there in no time. Fuck my social life, this is way more productive. :mrgreen:

+++++ WEEEEEEEEEEEEEKEND!! :D
+ My father comes this weekend, and we'll be able to have a good time
- Homework...
+/- Yesterday, someone dared me to make a rule34C (after the rule34... there is the rule34C so I've learnt :| ) drawing... That was a lot of psychological pain for me.... so, hours and hours spent in this awful work, but I can at least smile.... uh, if I think that at least I've completed the bet? (That was horrible!) Now, I can go hide myself.
- I kinda feel stressed.... :( I dunno really why.... School and other sentimental problems I guess...

Don't come back too soon. You can stay hidden for a while.

Yeah it was Ubisoft Reflections, they are currently working closely with Ubisoft Montreal. Their studio is literally down the road from my College and since im doing Games development they have a somewhat partnership with a couple of the colleges in my area for the course, and they were hosting certain events based around art, programming and others. We got an interview too for our upcoming youtube channel but not too sure if that turned out well cos of background noise :( They were really nice guys and gals though!

Looking up UbiSoft Reflections, it appears they're situated in Newcastle, and are the creators of the Driver franchise.
It must have been rather enjoyable to work with them, what's this about an upcoming Youtube channel?

Just a channel a few of us from my course are gonna set up for the college, were gonna do game reviews, debates and stuff like that. The tutors are being really supportive about it and handling the equipment side of it which is awesome :D Thought it would have been cool to kick it off with an interview, but not too sure how it turned out yet :(

Hey, awesome news.

It reminds me that I'm living near to the Ubisoft Wolrdwide HQ which is situated in the suburbs of Paris (my aunt is living in the same city). But I didn't even try to take a look at it gahaha x).
