Happy Birthday...I'm 43.
I Like To Fall On My Face...I Like Everything
schoolI'm off today. Not that this should incite any sort of grandoise excitement though because I'm using this day of rest to complete my project for my Sequential Narrative class. In short, this has been the funnest class I've had in quite a long while and I'm actually going to miss it, especially since I have two classes next quarter that both call for the use of Maya, my mortal enemy. If you thought I hated 3D CGI crap-imation before....let me tell you....GRRRRRRRR....I REALLY hate it now. I acknowledge the fact the it takes some serious patience and skill to use something like Maya or 3D Studio Max but all it did for me was make me appreciate the classic hand-drawn animation that much more.
In other news, we got a new intern at work yesterday and for me, I am entranced by this girl already. I think I might ask her to marry me before this week is over. OK, not really but the investigative work has begun. As soon as I am privy to her status, I will begin the process of trying to weasel my way into her life which, for me, means that I will waste an inordinate amount of time trying to find excuses to talk to her without seeming awkward but will cause me to look more awkward than I hope and ultimately, she will leave without so much as my ever having a real conversation with her. And another summer will have been wasted!!!
Finally, I watched a pretty interesting documentary last night called Stoked: THe Rise And Fall Of Gator. Obviously, it followed his career in skating from his bursting onto the scene in the early 80's to his murder conviction and sentencing in 1992. A lot of the stuff was pretty common knowledge but there was still a good amount of information about him that I was unaware of like the fact that he made a disgusting amount of money and that he couldn't street skate for anything and local kids ripped on him incessantly towards the end of his career, causing him to snap. There were a ton of interviews with old school skaters like Kevin Staab, Jason Jessee and Lance Mountain who revealed that quite a few of them actually hated him and thought he was a phony. Pretty good stuff.
