About 1/3 of the way through Pillars of the World. I THINK I've figured it out already, which is funny :( But still remains to be seen. The characters (so far) are not as loveable as the Black Jewels characters, but I guess that's to be expected :p The story is good though and I have been enjoying the book very much!

Saw... something... yesterday. Ergh, what's the name? That newish movie Harold Crick who finds out he is a character in a book and-- oh, Stranger than Fiction :) I really enjoyed it. We saw it with Jared/Melanie/Rob :D

Anyway now I need to catch the bus so I can eat lunch with Chris!

On page 260-something of Pillars of the World :) I was right about figuring out what was going on waaay ahead of time. Kind of sad that the majority of the Fae STILL don't know about it :P

Just wrote an email to the Asian Languages department to be sure I am on track for a minor in Japanese. If not, I can add any additional classes, but I think all 4 intensive classes were all that I needed to take :) (Otherwise known as the "are you an idiot? you could have taken some easier courses than all 4 intensive classes" track!)

I am in the mood to do a Flash animation over winter break. I'm not sure if it will actually happen - more likely is that I'll make my animation from art a year ago be less crappy :) My main goal for winter is to complete my new online portfolio (which will display a wide variety of my work - photos, photo manipulation, vector art, regular drawings, photoshopped colored/otherwise altered drawings, traditional animations, 3d animations, 3d models, graphic design, websites, etc).

I'm sure I will regret any decisions to work on my animation because Flash is a total pain in the ass at times... Most of the time. I was going to put my website portfolio on my UMass webspace, but since that will die 6 months after I graduate, I may as well put it on my permanent webspace at Valefor.

It's funny... some of my work, I'm not exactly proud of... but it has such a nostaglic feeling for me. Like the "10 Day HTML Diary" I made up. I used a Flash intro with some Javascript to make it into a sort of storybook. It was from the point of view of a character in a story that I had been writing with Erin and Steph, Mika'el. I just love the cute, dorky little story I wrote up about him, and all the silly drawings I did in 5 minutes because I was dying to finish the project ASAP.

Anyway time for class!
