Ah! Tashi-chan! <3 ^_^

Sheesh. Where to start (since I don't know where we ended)? Let's see. I got laid off from Crave twice in a row (as a permanent employee in October, 2002; then again as a temp in February, 2003). I did a three month stint at Vivendi Universal as a tester before moving down to San Diego area to work at Sammy Studios. I was there for almost two years before I got laid off this past January (the game industry just LOVES to lay people off it seems...). I was unemployed for around 4 1/2 months and flirted with the idea of moving home. A couple of my friends who were still at Crave called me up to help them out with E3 this year. After that I ended up going back to Crave as an Associate Producer. Since then, they've sent me to two separate developers to work onsite. I'm finishing up a nice long 2-3 month stint of crunch time.

Beyond that, I'm now living in a two-bedroom duplex with a yard in Orange County, California. My roommate is an ex-girlfriend from like 3 years ago, who I'm not friends with again. I'm supposedly getting a dog soonish. I'm currently single with a couple of brief, scattered relationships over the past couple of years.

For games, I've been playing WoW, Burnout: Revenge, We Love Katamari and City of Heroes (just got into the City of Villains beta last night). Soon I will be destroying my life with Civilization IV.

As for a picture, here's one that's going to be in the credits of the console Poker game I just finished doing.

Feel free to drop me a line sometime. Hope things are going well.

- Aaron (or someone just like him)
