Cold Thursdays

I think perception is a tricky thing when writing a story. Whether it’s conveyed in first or third person, you should be able to tell a character’s maturity by the way they perceive the world around them. I wish I could use this better in my own writing. Literature courses make me green with envy in the worst possible way.

Speaking of writing, is anybody trying Microsoft’s Office 2010 Beta release? It’s pretty sharp. There’s actually a text-effects option that reminds me of Photoshop’s. I’m not too thrilled about using Adobe CS4 in my IT class; I’m more of a CS2 kind of guy. Two of my flash drives have gone missing, so in a state of emergency I bought a new 3G stick for $15. Not a great deal, but I needed one for class.

Either tomorrow or Saturday I will be heading into town to do an analysis of a bookstore. I need to find out everything from distribution to placement for one of my classes. It’ll be a nice little adventure.
