Oh. And no wonder I was all grumpy. Hehe. Now I'm listening to Annie's song Chewing Gum and I'm digging this time, it as opposed to feeling all "I hate this" like the past few days.
And... no wonder I had more of an appetite. Aww. I don't want to lose my appetite just because it's...
Yesterday Redbeard3 got the Chewing Gum 45 he bought me! And he ripped the tracks to mp3 they're so cool!!! The first one sounds like it's just the album version, the other track I'm listening to as I type this, it's an instrumental of the song, it's just like the original except no Annie. I get to hear the bass do that thing as it goes into the chorus that I like 
I drank a lot of water last night and I think I drank too much of it. And I had a major tension headache from the Annie Tetrising.
Speaking of which. Today I did something pretty neat. With L7rules' and Calum's suggestions I realized I'd need a different background image of Annie for each level. Now, for the first level I cut the image into 180 squares... by hand. Very tedious. So I decided I should have ten images of Annie for ten levels, meaning I'd have to do 1620 more squares by hand. Aaaaah!
I realized it would take me days to do that, so in my panic I decided to play around with Java (not Javascript). I'd never done any image manipulation in Java. I looked in my reference books and they didn't help much. Finally I looked at java.sun.com's online Java reference and there was an article about Java's Image Input/Output stuff. It said in simple terms what to do to manipulate an image in the way I needed to do it.
Based on what I read in my reference books and the website, I knew that I could make a Java program that would cut up ALL the remaining 9 images into 180 squares each, automatically.
It sure was amazing to compile and run the code, then look in the image folders and see 180 JPGs in each folder, a total of 1620, that I created with my code.
I'm sure this sounds lame and easy to most programmers. There are a lot of things in Java I have not yet dabbled with. But I figured it out within an hour and I'm sure other Java things wouldn't be that much of a problem for me if I put my mind to it!
The only thing I had to do myself, after the program made the squares, was to convert the resulting squares from JPG to GIF, and I have Paint Shop Pro which has a batch conversion option, you can convert as many images you want from one format to another. Easy.
The result is just fabulous.
Feast your eyes on the fruit of my labor today: Annie Tetris is coming along.
Now when you click "place a block", a T block appears at the top. It doesn't fall automatically yet. BUT if you press the down arrow, the block will drop. Keep holding it and the block will stop at the bottom. No left or right yet, that will come tomorrow. One problem: if there's a scrollbar, pressing the down arrow will also cause the page to scroll. I need to fix that.
If you click "level up", it goes to the next background image. Click it really fast and the image gets a little messed up but fixes itself eventually. When the game is done you won't be able to mess with the background image yourself 
I had a panic attack today and it was bad enough that I decided to take a tranquilizer for it. Since I hadn't taken the tranquilizer in a while, the panic attack stopped within 15 minutes and the effect was stronger overall. I didn't feel doped up but I felt more relaxed.
I feel good about that because in the past the tranquilizer wouldn't stop the attacks at all. I must have developed a tolerance to it because of how often I would take it. For it to actually stop the attack, and stop it quickly, is excellent. I did the right thing by taking the tranquilizer less frequently.
well HOT DOG I'm a chewing machine!
can't you just eat lots of healthy stuff to gain back instead of esting stuff thats bad??? although i must say im not sure what to suggest that way
You tetris is cool you have patience beyond me to be working on something like that.
And yippie for meds that work like they are supposed to. Mine were the same way, If I took it ONLY when I had to or could feel a PA starting it would stop the PA and that was all, not leaving me in a haze.
