::grooves to Poodle Hat::
Bwee!
W00T!!!! Poodle Hat comes out today! ::grooves:: As soon as I get off work…
To all interested in the Captain’s Log (the Pirate joke log): I finished the layout. Do we want to use Blogger or LiveJournal?
(Renata, doublepost this in Boron so that those who don’t read CoL will get the message)
Whee! Having a bit of fun designing logos for the Armies in Ender’s Game.
I talked to Alexander, the guy doing the movie, and he says that the biggest headaches are locations and costumes. I’m chipping in, designing the flash suits. I thought we could get light-colored jumpsuits (with stripes of the team colors down the side), stuff them with a bit of padding, then film under blacklight, so that they would glow.
Acting-wise, he said that he already had a girl in mind for Petra, but because nothing is set in stone, we’ll just have to see. I suppose I could be Valentine if all else fails.
Whee! My first day of work at my Senior Project went quite well. As part of our senior year, we have a week of unpaid internship at the company of our choice, and I chose Reel FX, a special effects and 3D animation studio based in Dallas. I’m rather enjoying myself! All the people there are great. And as evidence of the tinyness of the world, the receptionist, Rebecca Pense, moonlights as an actress, and she was part of the ensemble in the production of Bat Boy I saw the other night. I knew she looked familiar! XD
One of my mom’s friend’s friend’s sons is trying to do a movie of Ender’s Game this summer. And he saw my “student snapshot” article in the newspaper a few weeks ago, in which I mention that it’s one of my favourite books. He left me a message, wondering if I’d be interested in joining the project. I wonder if he already has cast Petra…
Whee! I just went and dug out our old Polaroid from storage, only to find that we had two packs of SX-70 Time Zero! Squee! ::plays with pretty images::
Ah! I forgot to mention that I finished The Eyre Affair (Jasper Fforde) the other day. I absolutely loved it! Highly recommended; five Percys out of five. Very witty and clever. So if you think you can trust my taste in literature, go read it now! ::skips off to read Lost in a Good Book, the sequel::
I wish my blog could be as exciting as this.
Went to Marksman Ball, the St. Mark’s equivalent of prom. T’was nice, but about twice as long as it needed to be. I would write more, but it’s 3AM. Afterwards, saw the Cowboy Bebop movie with Matt, Luke, Burkhead, Jennifer Hseih, and Jen’s date, which was absolutely fabulous! ::swoons over Spike:: Now I understand Monica’s obsession. All concurred that the DVDs of the series are highly rentable, especially since Luke said that the series was better than the movie, which is no mean feat.
Quote of the Evening, regarding the Bebop DVDs:
They price it so high because of demand. It’s in high demand, but for a very small number of people. There are only a few people that want it, but those that want it want it really, really bad. Like a vaccine for the Ebola virus. –Luke
