How are you doing?

[Skjalg]

are there more mapcorians out there that press the reply button, wanting to say so much, but then stop because he's afraid of what the others will think of him?

Or is that just me?

Well I'm doing fine thanks for asking...

This summer I traveled a lot, Istanbul, Sofia, Belgrade, San Francisco, Seattle, Alaska.

I worked with a sculptor in California on a 3d visualization of his work for the Beijing 08 Olympics. I have also been involved on a 3d sculpture project, where we print out rapid prototype models, and then they will sent to China to be carved at a much larger scale out of granite. It is funded by Autodesk and will travel around the major art museums in China. Also working with 3d with Kenneth Snelson, a well known artist here in NYC.

Been working on my 3d film animation, which will be my main showcase of my work for Graduate schools that I will be applying too in December.

Been with a girl this summer and now she is away at school, so I figured that ship had sailed, but she still wants to be with me so hey cool... Girls are frustrating sometimes, but you learn a lot about yourself with them I guess.. sex is fun too

Also continuing to do web design and such...

School is going well.. 3.7 gpa...

Im turning 21 in a week, so I can now go out and drink in America...

On the downside, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer recently.. she lost her hair, but the chemo and such should take care of the cancer for now. The next couple of months will be hard, as chemo makes you very sick and tired all the time.

So back to work, its great catching up on mapcore.. I remember when everyone was so childish on IRC and dreaming of working for major game studios and now everybody is still childish, but are actually making a living making games so cheers yall

My dad was diagnosed with thyroids cancer when I was a toddler. The doctors told him and my mom he would have 2 years left to live and that they should be glad about that. He kept fighting and won. The next 8 years the cancer came back 2 more times, but he never thought about giving up. For the past ~10 years he has been a healthy man.

It was a tough time for my whole family and I wish yours and especially your mom the best. If it helps you - the chances to cure breast cancer are pretty good nowadays and I heard the older the woman is, the less the cancer grows.

Wow Frie, that quite a miracle!
