So it’s been months since i’ve actually posted something and most of the people who used to check up on this blog have probably given up on me. Can’t say that I blame them. Mostly I’ve been wrapped up in the pregnancy and work, and really haven’t had much time for anything else. Honestly, i think i just fried in terms of online communication; so much of my day is wrapped up in it. And frankly, there’s something slightly cultish about the whole blog culture. Most of the blogs I tune into are friends who link to other friends who basically all give each other props for being out there in cyberspace. On the one hand, it’s really supportive and good, but on the other hand… it feels a little incestuous to be tuning into the same blogs over and over constantly recycling similiar information from one to the other. If some of my friends are tuning into this and feeling offended.. please don’t take it personally. It’s not you I’m railing against but the trend of blogging itself. I think i started balking when I felt the need to NOT make my blog boring, and this was definitely the wrong attitude to have. But how can you help but not worry about what you are writing? A blog puts one perpetually on stage, and i find that instead of seeking fame thru funny insights and the written word, i like to merrily plod along and do my Work; whatever Work that may be. So my new philosophy is: If you notice… GREAT. If not, that’s ok too.
On animation i should note that i purchaised a Tablet PC and slowly but surely i’ve been getting back in my drawing. It’s been a blast and something I have been chewing at the bit to do for quite some time. I kid-tested my monitor this weekend by allowing my 10 year old neice to design prom dresses in Corel Painter. It was a great success!!! As hard as she pressed, she didn’t scratch the screen. I was most impressessed.
On the pregnancy front I should mention: I have an alien in my belly and she definitely doesn’t like it when i lay on my back.
