i met Simon j. Smith on sunday. he is the director of Bee Movie and he is british. he had some funny stories and lots of information about how they had changed the way they made the cartoon movies because of jerry seinfeild's involvement. jerry was apparently involved with every possible process to give the whole film that seinfield vibe. i spoke with him for probably a total of like half an hour about story boarding. it was one of the coolest experiences i have had. i am such a nerd.

worst comic strip ever

hey all
i have been reading the comic strips when i shelve newspapers at work and i just now came to the realization of why i torture myself by reading the Family Circus. I apparently (oddly enough) have a optimistic outlook on comic strips and keep reading that strip in hopes that it will eventually become good or at least have one good strip ever. it is funny but i always thought i was a pessimist.

Silk Screening

hey all
jay ryan(one of my favorite artists and a hell of a good guy) was at my school today. he gave a little talk about how he silk screens(mostly posters for rock bands and stuff) and then he gave a demo. the demo was quite similar to the one i saw when i was a freshmen. we got to pull a print each but this time it was two colors(sweet!) i kind made an ass of myself because i was not pressing down hard enough. it is a sweet print of a cat and a dog looking at abstract art in the kranert art museum in a sage green with brown outlines and his website printed at the bottom(www.thebirdmachine.com)
anyways that was fun. i gots lots to do this weekend and not much time to do it weeeeee

shits starting to pile up

hey all
shit is starting to pile up. i was quite productive yesterday so i felt kinda good. got an email today telling me i gots more shit to do this weekend than i originally thought. so yeah everything just keeps adding up on top of each other and my back is starting to hurt(literally). i think it may have something to do with sleeping on a couch but it is too cold for my attic. my shoe also has a hole in it so i should probably go buy new ones which adds to the stuff i should do this weekend. anyways it is not like i am the only one with the shit going on. somehow i do not think taking a writing intensive semester was the smartest thing i have ever done. but then again i cant really think of anything i have done that was smart.
see yas

new computer woot woot

hey all
i am sending this out via my new laptop it is fancy and was expensive. had a good time with my family today and then a good evening with some friends. i got a lot of graphic novels from the library and some books for my science fiction class from the bookstore. i also got a small peanuts collection for a dollar and a new marvel history book with audio commentary by stan lee for a dollar. i watched superbad again tonight that movie is really funny. also apparently my bird passed away at home not too long ago. i guess she was so old it was not too surprising. she was not in too good of shape anyway. i am gonna go now.
