My self-imposed deadline passed on Sunday evening, so it's time to see what I actually managed to get done. Other than finish Half Life 2 and the first two episodes thereof, I mean.

The comic was a no-go as it turned out I left my sketch book at the coast. That's something I'm going to have to really motivate myself towards over the next few weeks. Might be hard considering I have 400 students to assess and I just bought Super Mario Galaxy, but we'll see how I go.

Some good news, though: I got some music recorded. I'm redoing my two old songs. I know some people love them but all I can hear are the fumbles and the flat notes, so I'm starting from scratch. So far they are infinitely better. I've also got two new ones happening. At the moment all four are just piano tracks. It'll be a few weeks before I get the vocals and everything else in. They still sound pretty good though, if I do say so myself.

I've set up an iLike page, which you can get to here. Facebookers can use the iLike app. If you're keen you can always hit up my Myspace to hear the original, slightly flawed versions. There's also my Hitman song up there, which I've disowned because it didn't win and I refuse to accept defeat.

Have a listen and pander to my needy ego.
