This weekend, I don't really have anything to do, other than cleaning a bit. I am finished editing my last project for my digital video class. I am not totally excited about the end result but I think our group did pretty well with the cards we were dealt. I am really appreciative of Kurt for coming out last weekend and sacrificing his pride to aid us with the project. Thanks again buddy! I think video is fun, although not the avenue I will be pursuing. In the future, I will be equipped to shoot and edit some mean home videos though... Next up for school is all that is 3D. I start off with a character creation course which will be fun I think, as I look forward to starting that this coming tuesday. School has been good for the most part, just dealing with the loans and grants is beyond stressful at this point. Cal grant is guaranteed to me, yet I have not received a dime and I am over 3 months into my term. I will be prepping myself to sell a kidney off pretty soon. Anyway, I will end with some photos taken over the past week. The cat's were fighting up on the windowsill which was funny and dangerous at the same time. I found out that they are both southpaw fighters.

Check this crap out... I've gotten 10 new lines in the last couple of weeks.

cidade de deus

City of God trailer. We had to make a trailer using ripped footage from a movie. So naturally, my favorite movie got the nod. And the

track I used from Curumin really sets it off I think. I will probably be told I need to revise some of it but oh wells.

this made me laugh..

This is all I got for now.. No pantless weirdo story from me, although I feel like I should make up a story just cause this seems very normal and unexciting after reading Neil's post.

edit: this is a revised edition that reflects longer durations for the text portions, as well as a map.

08 17 09

August 18th 2009. Abigail turns 1 on this day. So far she has grown into an awkwardly sized little enigma. She is terribly funny, loud, mischievous, cute, mean all at the same time really. She follows me around, constantly vying for my attention. She makes sure that you are aware that she is bored. She still plays fetch everyday. She loves playing with Penelope even when Penelope feels like eating her face. I think she still has some growing left to do, but I cannot imagine her attitude getting any bigger.

ladybugs

Here are some random and recent photos. Mary brought home a jar full of ladybugs to battle the mighty aphid infestation of the summer 09.
