moving..

will update journal as soon as i get set up.

I Graduated college.
Will update as soon as things settle down a bit.

Well, I feel better now than I did before.
And that is a good thing.
I think.

Got two models done. (i still need to render the wireframes AND render the punk).
I spent waaaay too much time on the shoes for the punk..(facepalm).

I decided to focus on making Ouen really really good...
instead of working on my Ellepus-chephalant.

Better to have three really good models instead of two good and two.....bad.

I hope that goes over well with my instructors.

I am also getting ready to move again. I just let my employer know tonight. I told them I'd like to transfer to the nearby office... But I gave them a date nonetheless.
Well, I said that in a letter. i will find out how that goes tomorrow.

Speaking of which, tomorrow I am getting inducted into the National technical honors society. Never got that in high school. Might have something to do about not giving a damn about that backwater joke of a school. But anyway, that is another ribbon around my neck at graduation, and it will make my parents very proud.

four weeks to go till final reels are due.
If only I could stop myself from sleeping for 14 hours straight on the weekends I'd be back on schedule.
papers to write, stuff to model.... and then texture..(shudder)


good luck everyone!

oh yeah...
I hope I'm not the ONLY person in my two classes again...

Graduation lurks closer every hour, and I still have so much to do. I hear the siren's call of "Draaaw meeee, Paaiiint meee, plaaay meee..."

I try so hard to resist these thoughts and actions. Yet, at the days end, I find myself accomplishing less than my goal for productivity.

When I am at home the desire to escape is insatiable, a palatable release. My body has reached stress levels that it has not experienced in a few years. It's telling me so though my dyshidrotic eczema and my need to sleep. (lol TMI, sorry). I swear to myself "alright, today I will get those bump maps done and model out the head completely!"...
But I find myself lonely and chatting/painting/reading.

I can see the finish line so clearly and I know that now is NOT the time to coast.
So here is a basic non-complete list of what I need to do:

Model my Cephalant (This is a major major model! honestly I've only blocked him out)
Texture, specularity and bump map said model (I'm so frightened!)
Finish re-texturing the punk model
adjust bump and spec maps for punk
re-design Ouen Model
re-Model Ouen Model
re-texture, re-bump..etc Ouen

Design Business cards, letter head and etc..
design and make website
buy domain name
write new resume (by Monday!)


There is more, much more... like a paper or two I will have to write.
On top of working a 5-12 job on weekdays.

I know there is a light at the end of this gauntlet... the trick is not to fall into a rabbit hole on the way to sesame street.

Follow me?

Break is almost over and I still have so much to do!

I've been playing a lot of SPORE lately.
And watching the old Disney movies.

Does everyone else miss the OLD Disney channel? Before they interrupted their shows with commercials. When you heard Walt's voice daily because you heard him introduce most everything you watched?
I miss:
Zorro
the world of Color
OLD Donald Duck cartoons
the OLD old mickey mouse club
those made for tv animal movies...so many of them..
