...Y'know, like Wednesday is "hump day"...because it's in the middle of the week, like July is middle of summer.....get your minds out of the gutter people. XP Anyway, I haven't been up to much this summer because of school: Geometry/Algebra 2 summer school and my Advance Placement reading class. I can handle the reading, if Ellison's Invisible Man wasn't such a dark thought piece and I wasn't already reading Golden Compass, Little Prince, Richard Williams' Animators Survival Kit, John Hodgman's Areas of my Expertise and a book on Japanese mythology. To top it off, when I'm done Invisible Man, I have to finish 1984 and Waiting for Godot for that same class. And if I don't finish it means I start off the year behind in my easiest subject. XP Anyway, I know I can do it; I'm pretty fast and I'm beginning to schedule myself with the help of my trusty-dusty Betty Boop calender.

Other than that, my summer's been slow. Me and my friends filmed the first third or so of my short film for-internet-release....and because of their schedules, we can't finish it until August, meaning the other film will be put on hold. But, on the bright side, the fur for the MOVIE RATS puppets came in! Meaning that when the puppets are done (should only be a couple of weeks), our web-show should be on track to a weekly series! I'll post the link alone in a journal whenever we start up the channel.

Also, that "mystery puppet" I mentioned ages ago has been finished for a few months now....so now that I finally have a camera (built in to the computer), I'll try and take a photo and put it up by tonight!


Oh....and I got a MacBook! It's awesome, easy to use.......and somehow the keyboard wound up looking burnt. Yeah, I have to clean that. But other than that which I probably caused; I'm loving this comp and with it I have all the art tools I need! Photoshop/flash is going up soon, I have a tablet and Manga Studio! Whenever I get good enough at those, I'll start that new account.

Thank you very much to all the people that commisioned!
