Wow. That project must have taken at least 3 episodes of Ben 10 to create.

Received an individual compositing project that had better compositing and *cinematography* than 99.9% of any group project I’ve graded. FTW
steadily becoming Not That Guy. nice feeling.
Tethering hack worked, but had to click around a bit in the Network pref pane to force a connection. Also turned off auto-syncing in iTunes.

Tonight’s film was supposed to be Keane. 2nd night I’ve stopped it. Draining and uncomfortable. Someday…
Study: PowerPoint animations are comprehension killers http://bit.ly/xfZEO Wonder how my students feel. Like to think I’m Doing It Right.
Dear John Connor: Microwave blew up my spare ribs. Possible Skynet plot. Know you’re busy, but please tweet me 5 min ago and recommend pizza
Today’s film was Elegy. I may be bald, but I’m no Ben Kingsley. The Dying Animal indeed.

Upgraded to the 3G iPhone. Handing my 1st gen down to The Wife. Also snagged a Kodak Zi6. And a dishwasher. I hate Best Buy.
12 year olds gyrating to Prince songs is like severely obese people mating. I understand why they’re doing it, but it inhibits my digestion.
Folks, they requested no flash photography. If you didn’t bother to figure out your POS point-and-shoot until now, shove it up your ass.
At my 5-year-old niece’s dance recital. Such… enthusiasm. Bless their hearts.
Wrapped up last night with Andrzej Zulawski’s Possession (1981). The jury is still out, but what a great poster. http://bit.ly/a8ZSG
Wordpress bot just RT’d my frustration with and refusal to use WP. Probably not The Way To Do It.
Also finished Harlan Ellison: Dreams with Sharp Teeth. I have minimal Ellison exposure but suspect I would enjoy a sunburn.
Tonight’s film is All the Days Before Tomorrow. Looks to be a sober, thoughtful film about modern relationships and saying goodbye.
3GS for me, please. #squarespace
Work day for my Adv Camera & Lighting class. Can’t wait to bail early for once. There be merlot waiting at home…
Some student(s) destroyed the circuit board on the green screen treadmill I donated to the school. I just cut the belt to pronounce it dead.
Sometimes it just feels like a bird took a massive shit on your windshield. And sometimes that’s exactly what happened.
Pretty sure I’ll check out like Patrick Nagel. Minus any of the fame, of course.
Out to dinner for the anny. Here’s the wife’s 40 oz steak. zomg http://yfrog.com/5gc7dj
Students have offered to buy me a new iPhone *and* a new MBP! They just don’t know it yet.

How much bad press does AT&T need before they start unstupidfying?
I would presume that if QT 10 is really integrated with ColorSync, then Apple might be caring how QTs display, thus no more gamma shifts?
iPhone remote wipe for the masses. Wow. Just hope I never have to use it.
Well, Apple priced it right at least. I’m looking forward to a clean install.

UP’s emotional impact is directly proportional to the amount of your life you fear you’ve wasted. Bullseye.
Me: Do I need to count?
Boy: One!
Me: Two. Know what happens when I get to three?
Boy: Four!
At the movies… http://yfrog.com/59jhgj
The Wife and I are taking The Boy to his 1st movie at the theater — UP (of course). I fear he’ll fail the robot test.
2190 days in a row of waking up knowing I married the right woman. Plus a couple bonus days for leap years. Happy 6th to The Wife.
The Boy’s 3rd b-day party is over. Finishing copious amounts of alcohol. Toasting new beginnings, happy endings & absent friends.

Properly prepared pancakes could probably inspire world peace.
