Brain-Fried

I've been so busy lately I can't think straight. It doesn't help that I'm addicted to "Lost," either, and losing sleep watching it. Uuuuuggghh.

The Longer Than Expected Nap

One of the worst feelings in the world is when I take a nap during the day, only expecting to be asleep for 20-30 minutes... then I wake up hours later to see the sun is gone and the day is wasted.

Stupid.

One Year Later...

It's interesting how the mind tricks you. Every time I visit my parents I still expect to be greeted by a fuzzy creature. I still instinctively close the door behind me when I go into the basement (so he wouldn't trip down the stairs). Sometimes I hear little noises that remind me of him... One year ago from this very moment we lost our family pet, JJ. He was my little brother, my best friend... and a very big part of me.

The cool, stiff September air is a constant reminder of the weeks leading up to that day. For at least a month I went home to Franklin every weekend just to be with him, night and day. It was definitely the hardest thing I ever went through.

I can't believe it's already been a year. Time flies.

HANNA ANGRY!!

She's sick of my email antics.

5 Seconds of "Thriller"

I was bored a couple of nights last month so I spent some time literally tracing over 5 seconds of the "Thriller" video. The idea was to do this section, till the end, and kind of use animation to do some fancy things with the dance, but there's no way in hell I'll ever have the time to finish this any time soon. Especially considering this is about 1/30th of the entire section.

Larry Bruce at Coolidge Corner!

I just got word that a short film I helped animate is currently playing at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Boston for the rest of August! "Larry Bruce: Memoirs of a Bicycle" was done for the blog 24 Hour Toons, along with the talented Mike Annear and Joe Boyle.

Here's some info on the short films playing at Coolidge. It's playing in Moviehouse 1, and apparently the current movie being shown there is "500 Days of Summer." It'd be cool to see it on the big screen, but, I don't know if I'd want to see that movie again.

So check it out if you can! Or, watch it right here on YouTube.
