Honestly while I was watching the finished product with my classmates I was thinking: "Oh maybe I can tweak it, here, here, and here, make it the most amazing short ever made." I still think I could do some improvements too it, but I'm happy with the result.
Of course I could spend my whole life devoted to that minute and a half making every little thing perfect. But I think my time would be better spent working on making newer better animations and characters. Which I plan to do all summer before going to Siggraph in San Diego.
Also I have plenty of other projects. Finishing my post production class comes to mind right away. I could go back to work on the game, I could go back to the drawing board, the list can go on.
I guess I will always panic when I finish a project I've been working on for so long. Cause at some point you have to declare it done and bring it to the public. It's only natural I think.
That's all I feel like saying. Night kids, sleep tight.
"And life is a road that I wanna keep going. Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing. Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey."

(Mirror in the bathroom, The English Beat)
More work work. Later.
"The next time I see you, you'll turn away. I'll say "Hello" but you'll keep on walking. The next time you see me, I'll turn away. Do you remember where we used to sleep at night? I couldn't feel you, you're always so far away."
(Make You Smile, +44)
Yup spent almost 24 hours on campus. It was loooooong.
I'm tired so I say goodnight.
"She seems to have an invisible touch yeah. She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart. She seems to have an invisible touch yeah. It takes control and slowly tears you apart."

I think even funnier then her comment is the fact someone else laughed really loud. Haha.
"Love is a Battlefield."
(Love is a Battlefield, Pat Bentar)

For the longest time I referred to the other cartoon version of me as "Cartoony Tim". However upon writing this comic I thought of a better name for him...ME. That's right, I'm thinking of referring to Cartoony Tim as Me from now on. Any objections?.
That's it, night folks.
"My gut is burning. Won't you find me some water? Hey, just forget it can you bring me gasoline. And collect a couple forks, hold them three feet apart. And wait for lightning to strike to burn me up?"

(High School Never Ends, Bowling for Soup)
Well I turned in my animation and a still for thesis yesterday. Today they rejected my still and accepted my animation under the condition I finish it, as if I wasn't. Also Li said he'd let me put the still in if I work on it. So good times.
"I know there comes as time when you lose faith in what you believe inside (what you have inside). And did you know somehow it's just a spark that's a start. That keeps us from the crowd."

"I'm not antisocial, and it's nothing that's reproachful. It's just natural! It's only me! I can't think of anybody else I'd rather spend some one on one time with. It's not that hard to see, It's only me."
(It's Only Me, Barenaked Ladies)

The quotes from Armageddon. The scene where Bruce Willis is talking to Liv Tyler before they leave. It's on a plaque.
Bye.

(Leaving On A Jet Plane, John Denver)

Another over night at the lab so kinda tired. I must say Dave Thomilson is a warrior. Not only did he stay all night, he was going strong when I left. Shooooooooo.
That's all folks.

(Change Despair, Lagwagon)
This is Schmee. She works at the library. She has been nice enough to lend me Sandman.

For those of you who don't know. Punkbot is my thesis project. He is currently dancing to "so many ways" by new found glory. Though he is most rememered for his puppet like dancing to "never going back to new jersey" by Less than Jake. He is iconic in a way around the lab. Cause everybody seems to remember him haha. Also this is his first appreance as a 2-D object.
That's it folks. Later.
"I know i want to but it gets harder every time. And if it's easier to give up everything. I'd give it all to you to relieve half this pain. Cause it's been hard. Yeah it's been hard."

Happy Easter Folks. Enjoy bunnies and eggs folks.

I just thought it was funny I thought of that today.
"It's the final countdown"

The had word bubbles you could write on. Some pretty funny stuff man. I also got an honorable mention for my work. It was nice.
Hopefully render week will be just as much fun, WOOOOOO.

Night folks.
"She said I think I'll go to Boston. I think I'll start a new life. I think I'll start it over. Where no one knows my name. I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather. I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain. I think I'll go to Boston. I think that I'm just tired. I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind. I think I need a sunrise. I'm tired of the sunset. I hear it's nice in the summer, some snow would be nice. Boston. Where no one knows my name."
(Boston, Augustana)
I sat in front of a computer screen most of the day. Only too leave to Sam's club and a diner.
That's all folks.

However today I feel pretty good.
I'M BACK BABY, let's ride.
