Kingdom Hearts stuff...
Jiminy's jounral is going to take awhile to complete. Besides working on my synthesis collection (which just takes time that also gets me exp), I need to get certain scores on minigames. Some of the scores are easy to get (all the skateboard ones nvm I suck at using the skateboard), while others are a tad bit difficult (one of the Agrabah ones took me awhile because it required a perfect score). Then there is stuff like beating Sephiroth, which might take me awhile (half a sec to use a reaction command that requires you to be on the ground to use can be interesting since missing means I loose most of my health at lvl 74).

Coding stuff...
I spent most of toady (Sunday) coding. I have to implement PN Patches and I get to use my decimated face scan to test it (decimated from 10000+ triangles to 100 triangles). I have all the code in place to create a PN Patch (create the control net, get a point and PN normal on the surface of the patch, etc.), I just need to write the stuff that has it go through my mesh and draw it. That and hope I didn't mess up on any of my logic (haven't tested what I implemented today). One thing that did annoy me though is the teacher's handout on the patches had a little error in it. He gives an equation involving vectors, but leaves out the dot in a dot product, making me wonder what I am suppose to do (since you can't multiply 2 vectors together and there are 3 vectors in a row). I figured it out after tracking down the original paper on PN patches (you do a dot product on the first 2 vectors, which gives you a scalar which you then multiply by the third vector).

Other Stuff...
My Mom's aunt and uncle are visiting from New York, so I stopped by my parent's house for lunch (well breakfast for me). They are doing well (they don't seem to have changed since we visited them when I was in high school). As for desserts, my mom is trying out a strawberry rubarb cheesecake recipe, as well as doing interesting things with brownies (like adding cherries). I have a cheesecake sitting in the fridge so I can try it out later (lucnh being breakfast for me, I only had an appetite for the home-made sub).

Things to come...
Anizona is this weekend. School is going to be very busy for me this week (projects projects projects; did I mention I am going to be waking up early to finish the PN Patches stuff since its do by the end of the day tomorrow). Now off to get some sleep.
