The Merry Month of May

One more month until summer holidays begin, and I can be back near the ocean. Until then, my work calendar is looking a bit crowded. Work at EA has increased significantly for the next little while as several games are moving speedily along in their development. Instead of my 1 – 2x a week, thisContinue reading “The Merry Month of May”

Game Studies – New Issue

A new issue of Game Studies – Special Issue – EQ 10 Years Later has just come out. This issue is dear to my heart not only because of the fact that we (Bart Simon & Mark Silverman) have an article in the issue, but also because it is the game that brought me toContinue reading “Game Studies – New Issue”

Getting On Pace

I can’t believe that we are already nearing the end of the month! How fast time flies. It seems that I am still recovering from the holidays – the holiday pace that is. The plan for this semester looks fantastic on paper – gym every morning (now that I am not attending classes), home, shower,Continue reading “Getting On Pace”

Happy New Year

Always nice to go away on vacation, but always nice to come home =) Happy New Year – 2009 … wow! I started blogging in January of 2004 – making this month digital_conversations’ 5th anniversary! Have alot planned for this year, have to take my comprehensive exams this spring and write my thesis proposal. IfContinue reading “Happy New Year”

Off till the New Year

Well, I finally submitted my final paper (evah!) – well, for my last class of my PhD. I got it in before the deadline (a whopping 24 hours!) but it feels good. The paper didn’t end up being about what I had planned it to be, or at least not on the level I wasContinue reading “Off till the New Year”

The Last Month of the Year

No matter what – I am always amazed at how fast seems to fly by. My oldest daughter (16) is starting to notice how much faster seems to go by compared when she was younger (oh! the perils of youth! lol). But it’s true – when does time start to feel faster? Already she lamentsContinue reading “The Last Month of the Year”

A Few (Random) Things

This seems to be a recurring post title .. however, when no cohesive theme is present, the most apt. First of all – ever since I installed the blog stats add-on, I have been (obsessed is too strong of a word ..) at looking at it every day – not to see how many hitsContinue reading “A Few (Random) Things”

The Glory of Hallowe’en

I am rather excited for Hallowe’en this year. For the first year in a long time, I am not taking anyone trick or treating (the girls are too old for that) and my bf and I are going to our first Hallowe’en party in as many years, where there will be no children. After manyContinue reading “The Glory of Hallowe’en”

Searching for Inspiration: Remembering the Drive

Over the last few months, I have been struggling through the thought process on a few projects. Projects that were not selected by choice – but rather through the necessity of my program. At first, I thought that it would pass quickly; they were small projects so they really should not be that much ofContinue reading “Searching for Inspiration: Remembering the Drive”

Another Monthly Wrap-up

I cannot believe how quickly this month went by! Only two blog posts to boot. Every week this month was a short school week for my daughters (starting with spring break the first week). But even so, I managed to get a few things done. I became a member at the Center for Research onContinue reading “Another Monthly Wrap-up”
