In the best possible sense, I guess. I must seem very silly, reacting in ways that I don't understand even at this age. Got to pay it back ( Read more... )

Back from a weekend in Minneapolis attending Caleb's wedding. I had a blast, had the opportunity to finally meet Amanda and Mario, and, most importantly, witness Caleb take a major step in his life. Wouldn't have missed it for the world ( Read more... )

Spur of the moment thing; the 7 animated movies I've seen so far that have had the greatest effect on me personally, in no particular order.

The Lion King - I adored this movie when it originally hit theaters, and still do. I was 'of that age', it grabbed me and took me over for a while. I listened to all of the music (Return to the Pridelands was ( Read more... )

It's been a really heavy day. I come home from work for lunch, to find Leah in front of the apartment building. She walks up and asks me if I've been home at all today. No... no I haven't, but it's because the older fella who lives underneath us had committed suicide. Shot himself in the laundry room, she said, because there was a drain in the ( Read more... )

Must note, love "9". Gotta find a cheap copy somewhere and watch it a few times. It's odd, because although I like steampunky stuff from a stylistic perspective, I have a hard time connecting to it personally. Too much grime and too little green. Leave it to a few big-eyed rag dolls to do it, though. Most of the steampunk I've seen seems to involve ( Read more... )

Do I deserve to have a car door opened for me? Maybe ( Read more... )

Happy 40th to Sesame Street, I spent a good deal of yesterday watching clips of the good old days on Youtube, and wandering aimlessly across the Muppet Wiki. Who knew that Snuffy looked downright scary in his first appearances? Thankfully until now, not me. Barkley was always my favorite, I'm even more jealous of how gorgeous that costume looks as ( Read more... )

That I'm not a Transformers fan, at least not a genuine one. Matt's one, Nick's one, and their honest and true love for all robots in disguise got me mildly interested too. Yes, after seeing Transformers 2, I'm glad I'm not a Transformers fan, because I'd be royally pissed. Damn shame that the pointless and stupid humans get more lines than all the ( Read more... )

Been busy since the last update. Moving things out of storage little by little, going through materials I haven't turned over in years. Old drawings, old writing, some by myself and some by others. Came across Mindwipe's original character sheet, woot! Slowly winnowing things out to sell or just get rid of. Feels good to get organized.

Matt and I ( Read more... )

Literally in red on my calendar was the groundbreaking for the new paleo building today. After a little date-juggling last month, this was a day that many, many people set their eyes on and anticipated. The fact that Darrin was slated to receive an award for his hard work in the morning made the day even better. I was very happy to have a great ( Read more... )
