No Updates? No Worries

If you're still here expecting an update, you must either not know me and my job or you have no access to a calendar.

We're in June. Not only it's half Spring half Summer, but it's also time for the Annual Report at work. Yes, that time where all the important information for an important document always arrives three weeks late and only days before it actually goes in front of the board. It's the same for every organisation or corporation. At this point, I believe having information arriving late for graphic design or printing is part of the general definition of an annual report.

That said, we always make it on time anyway. It's just part of the show, just like the fireworks at the end of a Shakespeare piece... ok, that's off, but you get what I'm saying.

That's why you're not getting any updates recently. There will be one tomorrow with details of a miracle from the computer-gods. Then it's another blogging hiatus until I can a bit of free time.

It's Official, I'm Hooked...

After last week's first Geocaching experience, me and Stéphanie have pretty much gotten hooked to it. We're up to 7 Caches so far without a GPSr.

The GPSr should arrive this week, so don't be surprise if I add another post Category to the list.

Accidental Cache...

I know I haven't been posting for a while. Those following me in real life know that last week I was on "vacation"... you know the type where you need more vacation to recuperate from the first vacation?

I haven't really been doing anything "blog" worthy, unless you consider getting a repair-guy for a dryer interesting.

Even with this 'activity' drought, me and Stéphanie have stumbled into an interesting game/hobby by accident, and we're loving it.

Geocaching! The Cache we stumbled upon was called "Arret et pense" (Stop and think), so we did...

Album and Smurf-Mobile Update

Two very small things. The first is that the "La voix des jeunes" album artwork and design elements are about 85% completed. Actually, strictly-design speaking it's more 98% but there's a bunch of text to write and insert.

The other, the Smurf-Mobile needs a medic.

I got the stick of touch-up paint and will get right on it once it's stops raining for more than 4 hours (to make sure it really dries well).

Synthesis

I haven't worked so much as I have lately. If I wasn't working at the office, I was working home for the design material for the "La voix des jeunes" album. For this, I decided to take it easy for tonight and the upcoming weekend.

Not only will I take it easy by playing a few video games (I have finally finished the first playthrough of Borderlands), I have also decided to dust off my Korg Electribe MX-1 (the pre-SD one, first-generation).

I just felt a bunch of you guys shiver in disgust and outrage. Don't worry, it was covered safely and there's not a speckle of dust anywhere close–it was a figure of speech.
