Since Alex recently posted and secretly pointed out my weakness, I am forced to post this last picture of me drinking in Mexico. ¡olé!

This past week I saw The Animation Show. It’s always refreshing to see what people are doing outside of the realm of feature film character animation. Studying character and stuff is great, but it’s quite easy to forget that there are artists elsewhere pushing the medium of animation and that whole aspect of film-making with no relation at all to what I spend the majority of time trying to do. Unfortunately there was no stand out short like last show’s Hello. All the shorts were pretty much all just as good as the rest. Another disappointment was that the Oscar-nominated Danish Poet was not a part of the show. Not that it was supposed to be or anything, I just really want to see that phenomenal short again. If you have a chance to see it, GO, it’ll be the best thing you see all year. Anyway, check The Animation Show’s schedule and head out and support some really fun animation.

I beat New Super Mario Brothers for my DS. I’ve found all the secret exits and I’ve spent all the star coins. Yay. Now on to finishing Elite Beat Agents.

My cell phone has decided to take notice from the magical light fixture and fix itself. It works now but it has a battery life roughly equivalent to a Sega Game Gear. I would complain but I’m still in shock that all these electrical thingies are fixing themselves recently. I fear an uprising.

Pan’s Labyrinth wasn’t all that, but tonight I’m finally going to see Children of Men. Woooo.
