I think I'm finally as normal as I possibly can be right now. My heart palpitations stopped last Tuesday and that was the last of the major problems I had. Right now, only a minor lower back pain and some leg pains would occur occasionally, but they're easy to ignore compared to what I had to go through those past 8 weeks before last Tuesday. For this month, I focused on uploading my 3 remixes that I've worked on so far and planning ahead for the next few months.
I would say a majority of this month was trying to get work done, playing games and not feel miserable. There were a lot of days where my back hurt, my stomach felt queasy, I had a headache, or my heart palpitations were bothering me. I've been okay ever since last Tuesday and I've been sort of at a loss at what to do next. I bought Melty Blood: Actress Again Current Code the day after I uploaded the remix I did for it as it's the first time Melty Blood got an official English Translation and sold in the Western market. I've been going through Arcade mode with all the characters and I'm not even half way done yet. Because I've been playing the game a lot, I'm reminded of a lot of the music. Just to note, I've been playing Melty Blood for about 10 years now. I played the original 2, then Act Cadenza, and then I barely played Actress Again. I never got that good because I didn't have anyone to play against, but I know a bit of the mechanics from playing it for so long. Listening to the music again, I'm really tempted to remix a lot of the songs. I have enough ideas for a full remix album, but I kind of want to mix and match various fighting game music to remix and not just focus on one game again. But before then, I plan on working on some original music and some animation projects before I get back to remixing this year. I want to add new material to my portfolio and send out some more resumes.
Besides Melty Blood, I've started playing Resident Evil 4 HD again and making an effort to try to finish it (started last summer, I think). I've also continued to play a LOT of Senran Kagura Estival Versus and proceeded to buy $25 worth of DLCs. I felt kind of bad at first, but I ended up playing a total of 68 hours as recorded in my save file last night before I called it quits. SKEV was a great game and I loved it. I don't think there will be a Senran Kagura game for a while as the company is working on several other projects. As of right now, there is a Animé Weekend Sale going on for Steam so I might end up picking up a few new games (I mainly want to buy a lot of the OSTs for games I have). I don't have a clear cut schedule, plan or goal at the moment as my ailments really set me back by another 2 months, but I kind of enjoy how relaxed I feel at the moment. I hope May will be a productive month for me though, because June and July has always been the most difficult months to stay productive for me.
