Going home

My boss emailed me to let me know my visa application has been approved, and I'll be able to start back at Treyarch October 1st.

This makes me immensely happy.

My life and career have essentially been on hold since April, when I said goodbye to Samantha at LAX and got on a flight to Vancouver.

I've been busy getting this game out the door. Nearly done. First time since Quantum of Solace that I've written production console code, it's proving educational.

Once I get back to LA, I've got to get my MX5 off the axle stands (thanks once again to my awesome friend Neil for babysitting it for me), and find an apartment to move into with Samantha.

I've also got to get my hands on some low poundage limbs, ( I left my archery gear in Vancouver when I jetted off to parts unknown to help finish this project ) and continue the form reboot. Before I left it was starting to come together - especially the new alignment of my bowshoulder - I'm hoping I'll get to try it at a low key competition like a FITA 900 at Woodley Park.

Living with an amazing, one of a kind woman I'm in love with, working on Big Games(tm), driving around in the LA sun.

On balance, it's not a bad existence.
