- 19:45 Getting in bed & watching a movie w/ @sacentrepreneur also finishing off L's Halloween candy. #
- 19:47 Well this is a little comforting: More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes. #omgfacts (via @OMGFacts) #
- 20:14 Was told by @sacentrepreneur that the candy I was eating smelled like cleaning supplies. They kind of tasted like it too. #

Oh Balloon Boy is a song about, well, you know. My favorite review of it is: "I didn't think I could possibly like anything about the balloon boy. I was wrong." There was a songwriting challenge for something topical, so I wrote the words based on an old tune, and someone else put the words to a different tune and the result is a fun pop/rock ballad.
Over on Flickr, I uploaded and organized most of the pictures I took from the early days of moblogging (dating back to 2002) with various experimental cameraphones (including the one that took tiny 120 x 90 pics). Lots of lo-fi, light-leaking fun.
Also on Flickr, I finally scanned and uploaded pictures from a cross-country trip we took back in 1997. Taken on real film and everything.
And of course the big summer project was Angry Octopus Comics, a webcomic I worked on with Zoe. When we were done for the summer, we made a video about it:
That's all for now, but hopefully more random stuff to come!
"The Kyle" and I see all of Wes Anderson's stuff. OMG!!! Tottally a Wes Anderson movie. Every part was hilarious! The animation, the writing, the models, the sets, the voice actors... you can see his mark everywhere. During the discussions with the Animation Director he discussed where the animation style/language came from. Coming from the animation industry myself, you can see his specific style in the movements, the recording of the voices, and the style of the whole movie. I can't say how AMAZING this film is. Really it is more than an animation... it is worth awards!
=D !!!!
LOVE IT!
GO SEE IT!
AAAH!!!! I want to see it again!!!!!

- 20:21 @meghanthefox my mom is the exact opposite of your dad in that she thinks that if people say anything about my weight I'll stop eating. #
- 20:26 I ate too much again. I seem to have lost my self control. A bit depressing. #
- 23:00 Kind of thirsty. But way too lazy/tired to go get water. #

After going to the dentist today, to replace some fillings, I went to the 79 New Montgomery building of the Academy of Art University. There I obtained my ALUMNI ID. They've been handing these out for the last 2 years. This will enable me to enter Academy buildings, attend workshops, and other ALUMNI events. Seriously. I put a lot of money into that school, this is time for PAYBACK! I really want to attend some workshops because well... models aren't cheap!
This made me think back on my days at Academy. People ask me if it is a great school. Personally, any school is great as long as you make the best of it. No one is going to hold your hand and make you great. I do like the fact they usually have the most updated technology. That is a plus considering it is located in San Francisco. You need some kind of edge when you are competing with other art schools. I did consider going to a NY school or even a foreign art school. IF I had the money of course. Since I did not have the money, nor the smarts to attend a real college I chose Academy. Plus I was able to get grants every year. GO ME!
Most of the teachers there don't have a teaching credentials, but they have worked in the industry. Some were great, some were average, and some were just a waste of time. BAH! There was this one teacher, whom I've told people about many many times, who wanted to fail me. He would say, "You give me this? You don't want to get paid do you?!?!?!" It was my storyboarding class. He wanted all our storyboards to look super sexy like the MATRIX storyboards. Then he would shoot down any ideas I had. He couldn't critique anything well and was soo bitter about being a "teacher" and not an employee at a company. BAH! He also couldn't remember if my friend did his homework, which he didn't, and just marked an A where his supposed grade would be!!!! He would say, "Oh, oh yeah! I think I remember now." ... Inside I was screaming... "YOU LIAR!!! AHH!!!!"
I just hope they are not there anymore!!! Haha! But seriously, it was a wonderful experience and I connected with a lot of professionals while I went to school there.
Thanks AAU!
