     Damn, it's been a while. Too long in fact so i'll make this a long one. Too long have you wacthed my sister, too long have you haunted her steps. I'm working on things, but nothing ever seems to get done. Over the break I did a test sample for Slippery, it's about 30 seconds long. I improv'd some of Quax's lines and it's basically him with a background seeing how well i could do real animation, so there's mouth and eye movements to match the text. I used Premiere to do it and it didn't take too long, i mean the drawing part was easy as hell since it was only bout 6 or 7 key frames that were repeated, but the matching part took a while. The file is huge since it's saved as .avi and again i can't upload any large files to this so there's only one way for people to see it which is via AIM. So I decided if anyone wanted to see the test or wanted to see The LoTT Ext Ed or any of the other toons which are down send me an IM on AIM: Flip2x and i'll send you the file via transfer. Aside from that me and Larkin shot a fake movie over break. What happened was we saw this complete waste of time called "Open Water" and afterwards we thought wow that was so bad, we could make a better movie. So we did. We make a fake "making of" documentary of a fake movie called "Spy Movie" and the documentary itself is called "Open Movie". Now sadly Premiere decided it hates me and when I captured the video it was HUGE, I'm talking a few gigs which I def don't have room for it on my computer. So the smart guy I am, i decided to capture it in movie maker and then edit in premiere, but it doesn't support .wmv's. With me so far? So i figured i'd capture pieces in premiere in smaller sections that would fit on my comp and edit it piece by piece. Again video editing software and I don't get along so premiere decided not to work properly, I said some bad things about it's mother, and things just got way too outta control, I said I was sorry but we're not on speaking terms right now. So here I am back with movie maker again. So far it's been ok. I've been able to edit about half of the movie which is I think over 20 minutes long, so we'll see how it goes. Now as for free time...that's another story, I'm cast in a show, and i'm also a board member (VP of Marketing) for this group called EISA (enterainment industry student association) which is taking up a lot of my time. But we're getting some cool guest speakers including Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein in march! You're so jealous I can taste it...and it tastes like HOTNESS. Anyways, did you know people don't say "alls" in Cali? Like if i were to say "Alls I know is..." I get called on it ALLS THE TIMES! So two thing's should should take notice of, first is my friend Josh's site:
http://www.OffTargetOntheJosh.com  cause it's totally roxorz and we collaborate on a few things, secondly is I'm gonna try and finish Awesome U soon, I just added a speech to it, and bear in mind it's still under construction, but once the main site is done that will stay the same, i'm getting a camera this month so i'll be able to get the virtual tour part done once i have that, but the main site itself wont be updated unless it's for events posted. The main thing will be updates in the email section, and i'm planning to do a monthly e-newspaper which will be the main draw with fake articles and an advice column you can write to. Thirdly, I was lying about two things, there's a fourth thing. Number 4 is you should check out, if you haven't already, this site www.Engrish.com cause I think it's hilarious. You can even make your own engrish by translating something to japanese then back to english with AltaVista. Here's some of my favs:

I ate all the applesauce, it was delicious, but i was hoping we could take a romantic walk on the beach.
I eat apple source everything, tastily, to be I can take romantic walking of our beaches, you desire.

We should take a trip to the aquarium, i would very much like to see the penguins. We can eat hot dogs while we are there and share some ice cream.
We me should take travelling which desires the fact that you look at the penguin very in the aquarium. While we eat and us are there, the ice cream are achieved, sharing the hot dog.

Please wear a rain coat. If you don't a crazed monkey will steal your face and run for student council president.
Attach the raincoat to the body. The monkey where it can come out penetration steals your surface, moves for the president of student council.

     Where the hell has the time gone?! Back at Nova I couldn't have had more free time, now I don't have any. See at SC they have these things called "Parties". Now this is a word unfamiliar to Nova students, so let me explain. A "Party" is when a group of people get together and do things like talk, drink, drink more, remove clothing, decide that going to Denny's at 4 am is a good idea, and also think another good idea is to have your intoxicated friend push you around North Campus in a shopping cart. You also come up with random inside jokes like Peeing inside of Lindsay Lohan...anyways all my hard finals are over, I got one more Tuesday and I'm done. Usually this is the part where I say, "Now that I'll have a break I'll have more free time and should be able to get more stuff done for the site."..........And this is no exception, Now that I'll have a break I'll have more free time and should be able to get more stuff done for the site. But we all know that's a dirty lie, well maybe not but who knows, I'm sure I'll get completely bored at home and will do some toon work, but no promises, I promise. Also I'm planning to write and shoot a crappy short film over the break with Sarah. We'll see. Oh, there is this one thing I been messing around with, it's not done yet, and I was gonna wait till I finished to post a link but all four of you who visit this site have been really patient so I'll leave you with this: Enjoy!

     Aww, my poor poor neglected site....Wow it's been forever. LA is amazing, and USC is the best school ever. So I'll try and update all 3 of you who might happen to be reading this. I've been ridiculously busy with school and the play has taken up the rest of my free time. This weekend, yes Halloween weekend, we have tech rehearsal 10am-10pm...oh well, our cast is really cool so we'll just chill and make it fun. But then the play opens the following weekend, November 4-7. All my midterms are over and after next week the play will be done and then my good friend Mr. Freetime will be paying me visits again! But I'm slowly trying to pick things back up again. I wrote a bunch of outtakes for Fell Ext Ed that I never got around to doing. I started jotting down more notes for Two Towhores and RotK. And I've started working on the 4th slippery script again. PLUS I'm almost finished the logo for this site. I came up with an idea for one I really liked a few weeks ago and I'm just about done making it Photoshop. I won't tell you what it is yet you'll have to wait till its finished. Shit I just remembered I never edited that improv footage me, Sarah and Larkin shot at the mall for Super Action Team Sqaud. Oh well, I wouldn't be able to host it on here yet anyways. Speaking of hosting, I haven't even started looking for it...I know of a few but I just don't feel like paying for it. But I plan on re-launching the site with a whole new design later on. So here's the plan, bear with the slow updates for a little while longer. Once I'm less busy, I'll get hosting, give the site a whole new design and logo, and hopefully by that time I'll have animated the first episode of slippery to launch with the new site! So I must leave you for now...but in my place I leave you with this mental image...A Kitten..no wait, a Pirate Kitten, sailing a ship through a sea of Chocolate pudding...and it's raining tacos....delicious tacos, mmm......

     So real quick update here. I been real busy, school is awesome and everything is sweet. I got a reallllllly small part in one of the school of theatre shows, but hey, atleast i'm even in the cast at all. Now some bad news, I got an email from Nova and my site is over twice the allowed size, so that means most of the videos and toons gotta be taken down. USC gives us webspace but I doubt it's very much so looks like i'll need to find hosting. I been pretty busy and haven't had time to do anything to add here anyways so looks like the site will be pretty slow for a while. I got alot of plans tho so hopefully when i'm not so busy things will start picking up again. So until then...send me all your money.

     Ahoy there maties! Meant to update this sooner but I been pretty busy, since I'm in LA and all. Upon arrival I was hounded by news casters, paparazzi, and screaming teenage girls wanting my autograph and for me to impregnate them. Other that that I been setting up, got this awesome apartment with 3 other roomates and a sweet ass view of the downtown LA Skyline. It' sunny, and gorgeous and everything I wanted, plus more! USC is more like a resort than a school. I got the photos from the Medcases shoot and I'm happy to say I now have a modeling portfolio. Guess how many photos they sent?.....No, you're wrong, you fail at life and will have ugly children. The correct number was 1269. As you can imagine I can't exactly put all them on here, but give me some time to go through them and pick out some good ones and I'll add them. That's bout it, so, as the French say, Adios!!

     Well this is it, In a few hours I leave for LA. Just think some day this whole story will be on E True Hollywood story or VH1 or MTV or one of those things....or PBS. Maybe even a made for TV movie, Based on a True story that was inspired by actual events! Anyways, I'm outtie 5000! *Cue that song California from that OC show*
Actually forget that song, let's cue that mouse club song.
"And now it's time to say goodbye,
to all our friends and money.
M - I - C
C you in hell!
K - E - Y
Y? Because I shaved your cat.
M - O - U - S - PIRATESSSSSSS!"

     Damn where's the time gone?! August already? So here's a lil update, I just finished shooting an educational video, where I was an extra, playing a student. So during the shoot a few times they had us write essays and they walked around filming it, but it was all continuous so we'd be sitting there for a good five minutes or more, and we had to be writing something to make it look like we were doing an essay. We did this a few times, and I have with me two of the essays, both of which I feel deserve A+'s. You can read them here: ESSAY 1, ESSAY 2. On top of that today I had a photoshoot for this Medical company, it's hard to describe what kinda shoot it was, but it wasn't of me, I was playing a character. Both the edu video and shoot were paying jobs, whoohoo! Oh yeah, remember the Resident Evil poster contest, well they picked the finalists and a winner, and let me tell you....they SUCKEDDD royally...they were serious crap. Here are the Finalists, and here are the REAL finalists: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I got both seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force on DVD and seriously, you guys need to buy these, I friggin love this show. Not much longer now until I move, I'm sooo excited! But anyways, tomorrow is my birthday, i'll be 19, so send me lots of presents and money!
