Well, Christmas break is here. Woo. I'm at home. Living. And stuff.

Went to see Avatar last night. I give it two thumbs up and one really excruciating fucking headache--possibly due to watching it with 3D glasses combined with my regular glasses, and going three hours straight with a full bladder, not being able to focus on the movie. I was being affected by an incredible amount of information and colors, especially during the really stressful parts of the movie, while worrying about my pain, and being pissed off by all the noise in the audience.

Basically, I thought too hard. I thought myself into a crippling headache...and I almost vomited. And it STILL HURTS. >:C

...I need to see that movie, again.

Hey guys, if you want to help me out, could you go here and vote for my friends' commercial? It's funny and has ducks! DUCKS! And violence!

Vote here! [link]

Whether or not they get the winning prize, it's a great thing for Andy to have on his resume, since he did a great deal to get this done in one night and he needs more experience. To at least have it on local television would be really cool!

So help out if you want by clicking the link and clicking VOTE! It's that easy, yessir.

It's mah birfay and I'll do what I wanna'
do what I wanna'
do what I wanna'
You would do too if it happened to yooooou

*brains seep out of ears*

So Thanksgiving Break begins tonight and, as of now, I have a series total of ten 11x14 illustrations to do for Intermediate Drawing class, many black and white digital backgrounds as well as an on-going storyboard for Intermediate II Animation class (because I'm a level higher than everyone else, so I get to do the easily procrastinateable crap while everyone else animates,) and finish the OTHER animation we started at the beginning of the semester, write a measly 2 page paper for Bicycling *stifles laugh*... and I have to study History of Modern Art for a test. And read for Gender/Identity in Lit. I think the test for that is Dec 14th. I hope I get a good grade because them's a looooot of reading.

As far as personal art goes, I haven't had neither the time, energy, or thinking capacity for much. I've been focusing on the design for my website and wishing dinner at Molly Brannigan's wasn't $30 or else I might have already purchased my domain name. Also, Flash is really difficult to not fuck up and getting my pages to work right is a total pain.

I am looking forward to the end of the semester break. It is a month long. And it will be snowing and happy fun times with lot's of relaxation and catching up with personal stuff. I need to get some really good portfolio pieces. I attended a visiting thing yesterday and the visitor told us a great deal of what to and NOT to do in order to get a job once graduated. And I took notes!

The visitor was David Filoni, a 1996 Edinboro University graduate. (That's where I go to school.) Here's a quote thing, "In his brief yet impressive career, Mr. Filoni has served as an assistant director for the FOX television series “King of the Hill,” as an assistant director for the Warner Brothers series, “Mission Hill” and “The Oblongs,” as an animator for several Disney Television series, and as a writer and director for the Nickelodeon series “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”" He's currently the supervising director for Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network, which is pretty rad! That show isn't that bad, I don't know why so many people dislike it...

Anyway! If this guy graduated my small-town state college and got to work on AVATAR... then I think I might be able to be just as radical (after some time doing grunt work) after I graduate. As long as I have all my shit together, anything is possible! *rainbows*

But I'm still freaking out about my work. Procrastination got so bad I unhooked my TV and put it in the corner to think about what it's done. Computer is a little harder to regulate, though...

I wanna make my journal all customized and crap but I cannot code for crap. Maybe I will ask someone for permission to grab some code from one and mold it to my liking....

Also, omg, it was frosty out today. Glad that there hasn't been any snow yet...

_{*goes back to trying to be better at art. ugh.*}
