Well. It's been a good fall. Got sick twice. TWICE. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT. THAT'S ONCE LESS THAN THREE. Most of my campus seems to be sick with... something or other, and it's all circulating. Hooray. In all seriousness though, I'm enjoying my classes, particularly my studio art one. Two days a week we get to just do art for about three hours. It's wonderful. I've made a few things worth looking at - sort of, and I suppose I should upload them soon. Also discovered that I'm useless with a paintbrush.

Secondly: Mary Oliver is a fantastic poet. Stop reading this, and go read something she crafted. Also, Ursula K. Le Guin is an equally wonderful author. She writes some of the best science fiction that I've ever read. It's not just "Oh, space! Space is cool!" - it's brilliant literature.

Thirdish: 3d biped animation is preposterously time consuming. I spent 14 hours on a 10 second clip. Bleh. It'll be worth it when I'm finished, though. I've got all kinds of ideas as to where I should take this little animation, but I know a few folks who are more inclined towards the 3d whatnots that I, so I'll be able to find some aid should things become too direly complex.

Fourthly: Well, I don't really have a fourthly. Mmm. I suppose I should reccommend the movies The Brothers Bloom and Away We Go. Both of them are good.
