I’m sitting in my Portfolio class right, and I’m tired. I really need to start getting to bed sooner than 3am every night. Why was I up so late? Well how do you like the new site design? It’s full of hidden but flashy flash. Turns out it’s not as hard as I was making it. Go check out my reel to see some of the new stuff. It’s the final version, so let me know what you think. And the coolest thing? It’s built into a flash player! I know…I know…it’s just too cool for words.
We’re watching a documentary called ‘Dream On Silly Dreamers,’ and it’s about Disney when all the animators suddently got laid off in the early 90′s. It’s weird to think that this is where I wanted to work for so long. Since I was a kid, I always wanted to be a Disney Animator. Then, we went to Disney World, and I went on a tour of one of their animation facilities. I saw a bunch of people haunched over desks, and drawing the same but slightly different picture hundreds of times. After that…,lets just say my career aspirations changed.
Jess and I mailed out our 46 Reels yesterday and drove the Post Office crazy. They had to enter each package in…one…at…a time. The line started building, the crowd starting getting restless, and I just couldn’t help but laugh. Not because I enjoy making people miserable. But because the image of the mail man just sudently going ‘postal’ (as the kids say) made me smile for some reason. I guess you just had to be there, but it was pretty funny damn it.
I find out today whether or not I passed my midterm for Egyptian Art, and I’m a little worried. But all around Montgomery Hall someone put up little signs that say ‘Everything’s going to be ok.’ So maybe that’s the not so metaphorical metaphorical sign I was asking for. The sign just makes me happy.
Alright, well I guess I’ll go and watch this documentary. But let me just go on record and say that 11am is wayyyyy to early for documentaries. I’m just saying. Anyways, I can’t wait for today to be over. LOST comes on tonight! Be sure to watch it! Digital Dimension, the company that does the effects for LOST, is one of the companies I applied to.
God I hope I get a job.
Talk to you all tomorrow…I’ll let you know how the midterm went.
