Dreaming

Dreams can be incredible healers. Letting yourself go without worrying about tomorrow, and allowing yourself to dream; I woke today with my feet and arms absent of the usual pain, and amazing energy for productivity.



Last night I was inspired to dream, after watching a fantastic film called "Paprika". Their were references to Millenium Actress, and Tokyo Godfathers so I'm only assuming it was done by the same art director, but quite on par with the visual quality of those films. I absolutly don't want to ruin a single moment of the film so I wont say a word more, but it's a must watch by everyone.

A few days I've also finished reading Ender's Shadow. The fourth book in the series from Ender's Game by Orson Scottcard. I was recommended to skip the second and third book and go straight to the fourth, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. Orson's writing improved considerably, as I spent less and less time trying to outsmart little Ender, or in this case little Bean. Still, what's most fascinating about the series are the various types of games the kids play. As someone who still holds onto his childhood, and a game developer I am extremly enticed to maybe one day produce one of these games, especially the squad based AI.

That's pretty much it, I wanted to give you guys some updates, and a little entertainment. I guess I should get back to work.

PS: I finally got DXUT working, but the architecture still seems to puzzle me in several places. I just can't believe there isn't any documentation .... should I take the initiative?
