Yesterday I was going to work on one of my reviews but came up with a problem. The weather as too good to pass up. I ended up taking an enthusiastic walk through the woods… and to the bank. Plus a side trip to purchase some pickled ginger.
Anyway, onto other stuff… I’ve been contemplating a purchase on steam.

I still have some of my tax rebate leftover to get it, that and my birthday is coming up so I might as well get myself something I know I’ll use (No one is going to gift it to me, and I’ll make sure of it). I’ve been following this software since it originally came out. It rarely goes on sale, and if I strike now I’ll be able to learn about basic mocap and have fun with it.
The good news is that the kinect works perfectly with my laptop (and it should), meaning I can pack up my studio and go pretty much anywhere to do some goofy animation.
Speaking of birthdays I got some early presents. A Vietnamese robe and two piece Chinese shirt and skirt suit. Both black and red. One of my coworkers who shares the same interests for oriental culture as I do is moving to another place and doesn’t use them. We’ve exchanged gifts before, like hairsticks, tea, teapots, I’ll have to think of something to return the favor with. Maybe a house warming present with some flowering teas and some bento boxes.
