I just dreamed I was trying to figure out the best way of animating a walk cycle.
I am the most boring person ever.
And Gary Oldman will be in Order of the Phoenix! I can’t believe the broughaha lasted this long.

Oh! And I got a new mouse today. The old one had been spazzing off the deep end since Sunday night, and my brain is inequipped for using the trackpad. Plus, you need a 3-button mouse to use Maya.
Just got back from Margaret Cho, who rocked. She was the headline act for QPenn, Penn’s annual week of LGBTQ awareness. Her act was mostly an amalgamation of stand-up material from her previous tours, but as I’ve only seen the Notorious C.H.O. DVD (because someone didn’t invite me when she toured through Dallas because they thought I wouldn’t be interested, Marcelina and Chungy!), most of it was new to me, and the rest was just as hilarious the second time around.
For those keeping score, that’s:
3/14 — Jon Stewart
3/21 — Margaret Cho
3/22 — Kevin Smith

Gasping, he turned to the choirmaster : ‘Hey, you, help me arrest this criminal! It’s your duty! ‘ The choirmaster leaped eagerly to his feet and bawled : ‘What criminal? Where is he? A foreign criminal? ‘ His eyes lit up joyfully. ‘ That man? If he’s a criminal the first thing to do is to shout ” Stop thief! ” Otherwise he’ll get away. Come on, let’s shout together! ‘ And the choirmaster opened his mouth wide. The stupefied Ivan obeyed and shouted ‘ Stop thief! ‘ but the choirmaster fooled him by not making a sound. Ivan’s lonely, hoarse cry was worse than useless. A couple of girls dodged him and he heard them say ‘ . .. drunk.’ ‘So you’re in league with him, are you? ‘ shouted Ivan, helpless with anger. ‘ Make fun of me, would you? Out of my way!’ Ivan set off towards his right and the choirmaster did the opposite, blocking his way.

In other, more coherent news, I didn’t make the Kevin Smith lottery. Fortunately, tomorrow morning, they’ll have a limited number of seats available first come, first served. I plan to be there early.

Chungy: The Brits got the first season of the new Doctor Who a year before us. Season “twoish” comes to the BBC in the Spring. Not sure about the States. Does anyone else know?
Rebecca: I’ll have to talk to Josh about an internet-friendly version of Zeyen and Nazia. I tried ripping it from my DVD, and the smallest I could get it was over a gig.
Snakes on a Plane official trailer! Wow, I was beginning to wonder if the whole thing was really just a grand hoax, as all the publicity I’ve seen has been fan-generated. There are five fanmade trailers on YouTube, plus this hilarious trailer summary and this set of MS Paint parody images.
