 This morning I slept in and around 12:30PM made it over to my Mom's house to do laundry. After I ate lunch the plan was to work on class stuff. In particular, my script. But then I started watching Planet Earth 2 and didn't accomplish much. I didn't watch any of Planet Earth because I didn't want to see a bunch of animals dying, and I was avoiding the new one for the same reason. I got sucked in today, though, and was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't really anything overly graphic. The worst part was a baby elephant dying. I'm considering picking up Planet Earth and getting Planet Earth 2 when it comes out in March. It would look incredible projected up on my wall.

As for class stuff, I did play around a little bit with a program that creates visual audio bars, if that makes any sense. The idea is to put that in my tutorial so that as I speak the bars fluctuate. There is probably a word for that. Maybe a visual representation of the sound waveforms? I don't know. Anyway, I don't know if I'll actually end up doing it because it would involve a little bit of work to get it to match up to the audio. It's not a real-time thing, so I would need to finish the tutorial, export just the audio (if that is possible), import it into this program, render out the waveform file, and then import it into my video editor.

When my laundry was done I ran to Target to get some things. One of those things was an avocado and when I got home I made the avocado pistachio dip again. I forgot about the jalapeno and I used less salt, so overall the flavor was a little less intense, but still good.

Tonight I watched YouTube videos and Twitch streams. I also kind of did some class things. I have to turn stuff in tomorrow and realized I forgot to email my PowerPoint storyboard to myself. Whoops. So I spent some time figuring out how I could host my Twinery storyboard and send that link instead. I also edited some screenshots to use in my tutorial. That just leaves my script to finish, which I will do tomorrow and get everything submitted.

Now I'm going to play some Minecraft and record my audio journal. I discovered another small island and then a really tiny one right next to it. I kind of want to build a tower on the tiny island. We'll see.
