Amanda

I don't often look for former classmates on Facebook, but their latest revision forces me to look at the friend suggestions page before I can see my categorized lists. It's quiet on the internet this morning and I noticed a link for finding my high school classmates. While browsing through that, I found Amanda. I liked her a lot but never talked to her. Now I see that she is a lesbian and it would have been futile.

I am not watching the Super Bowl

Despite not understanding the game, I sometimes watch the Super Bowl just for the advertising. The most interesting commercials are usually shown for it. I no longer have a functional television signal. I'm sure that I could find a source of streaming video online, but it's not worth the effort. I can watch the youtube compilation in a few days.

I overheard this at the train station:
So she said those cookies have a strong smell. Did you pee on them? I was like yeah.

This is the animation that I have been working on:

This has to be tweaked more and audio has to be added. I am going to redo the camera tracking completely.

Searching for Orthographic Pornography

I want to make a 3D model of a human. Finding usable reference photos for this has been challenging. I decided to settle on just modeling the head, but even that is difficult. Very few photos that I could find give a good side view. The few that I could find did not have matching front views that I could use together. There are problems with differences in facial expression, weight, or age in all the high resolution photos that I could find.

I tried searching for mug shots, but I could not find high resolution ones. I thought maybe tennis players would have many side view photos taken during matches, but I only found low resolution side views. After several hours of looking at photos of Maria Sharapova, I found an excellent high resolution photo of the left side of Ashley Tisdale's head. I'm not sure why she appeared in the search results for images of Sharapova.

I am talking to my sister. She isn't in the room with me, but I am also not using a phone. I initially fail to notice anything odd about how we are communicating, but I later realize that it's a psychic conversation. I'm trying to eat some horrible food and telling her about how horrible it is. The food is a bland jelly-like substance that changes texture and firmness by itself. My sister tells me that she has to eat the same thing.

I look around and conclude that I am a patient in a mental institution. I overhear a man refer to this place as an "Energy Unit". I suddenly realize that I am actually a self-aware computer program. I am trapped in the Energy Unit, because my computer system requires a lot of energy to operate. A woman comes to collect my tray and I ask her how much energy she uses. She gives me some large number that I don't remember. I read her mind and see that she thinks that I use infinitely more energy than she does, because I am a synthetic god powered by electricity. I consume tremendous quantities of energy to violate the known laws of physics when I perform miracles.
