...and hatin' it. I hate being sick. So I never got to the game or the dance, but to be honest I never really liked the dances (music sucks, and people I meet there are either really out of it or act like a pervert). I rented two movies this weekend: Faust and The Straight Story.
None of you (or the majority) I would think would actually like Faust since it's very surreal, very bizarre and very much out there. But I think Jan Svankmajer made a pretty good picture and I actually enjoyed it especially his stop motion work that he is so famous for.
When I put the words David Lynch and Disney together The Straight Story is not what I would picture (more of a Blue Velvet on ice) but after seeing this picture I came to this ultimate conclusion... you have to see The Straight Story!!! It's incredible, its beautiful, and the music is great too. and unlike other David Lynch films it's simple enough that you can understand the story itself in one viewing (I'm still putting together the pieces of Mullholand Dr., and Lost Highway).
I did animation over the week but not very much over the weekend. I really can't wait to finish this project becase it's driving me crazy how close it is to being complete. I'm also concieving my next project that will be done in a different kind of animating style. I'm really excited about it especially the part where it might not take as long as this one (the same goes for the other four shorts I have to do)...I need a haircut.
I've been reading my brothers blog Delinquent Diaries and all that's really done is make me very envious of my brother and all the fun he has all the time, but still its really funny and entertaining "check it out y'all". And I'm going to try to go to facebok less because all it does is show me how much fun everyone I know is having while I'm sitting at home on the computer watching tv with no plans, feeling like an absolute loser... I hate the internet.

The Summer...
a short list of things that happened over the summer
1. I interned at The Hollywood Theater and made a documentary about kids that hate me
2. I went to Boston chicago and New York... I'm still really happy about that
3. I worked on "Between Gentlemen" and am two weeks from completion (I recently told myself I wont shave until I complete it as incetive to finish on time... at least its not as itching anymore)
4. I did a lot of art,some of which Abby thinks looks like trannies (thanks)
5. I met one of my idols (a tale for another time)
6. I decided that I'm not going to do all my projects the same way (thank god)
7. I listened to a lot of Classical music and obscure Jazz and realised that I haven't taken an interest in any band in over five months... i also discovered that it doesn't bother me
8. I've started getting into the works of William S. Burroughs and hope to read Naked Lunch soon... but I still need to read Hearts of Darkness (its only like ninety pages what am I procrastinating about?)
9. I didn't see very many friends so I made new ones
10. I scrapped some old ideas for animating (not really scrapped as much as tossed them aside for further scrutiny and meditation)
11.I watched a lot of movies! ( Although I wish I didn't see Saturday Night Fever, but to be fair I was expecting something else. You know what's a really good movie, Altered States)
12.I became a David Lynch fan and I wish he would make another movie the same goes for Sofia Coppola
I plan to do a lot of work this year and to get more out of it
Oh and heres big news. PULP was accepted for inclusion in the 2010 Northwest Film Center's Young People's Film+Video Festival. Out of 150 submission mine was picked along with 15 others, I feel special.
