Sorry...I was on the other line.

So, It's been quite a few days. What's happened? Well, my roommate Chuck moved out and went back to Michigan. His last few days kept me up quite a bit (from Tuesday to Friday I had slept a total of about ten hours). I dropped him off at LAX Friday morning. He's going to spend a month backpacking Europe and then hang out in China for a bit, just because. Now with Chuck gone I have a lot of free time on my hands. So, that's...something.
With Chuck gone I had to eat dinner by myself Friday night (well, I didn't have to, but I did). I decided to go to Sizzler, which I had been wanting to do since I got to California. No reason...I just wanted to. Mmmmm-mmmmm, that was a mistake. To begin with, I was served a 'four-bean soup' with no beans in it, but a lot of carrots and potatoes. For my meal I ordered a rib-eye steak. Whatever I received, it wasn't anything resembling a rib-eye and man, was it tough (and sans eye)! For a bread you get a basket of 'cheesy-bread'. The whole time I was eating the first piece, I was trying to figure out it's very particular taste. It took me a piece and a half, but I finally placed it. Their 'cheesy-bread' was nothing more than Cheese Nips crushed and seered onto the bread with butter. Is that messed-up or what? I didn't even finish half of my meal before I just got up and walked out. For the $18+ I wasted there, I could have enjoyed a really good meal somewhere else. Chalk that one up to experience, I guess.
All weekend was just work -blah, blah, blah. Today, though, Ted Danson and his daughter were in. He was such a cool person -very personable and friendly. He was talking to everyone like there was nothing that he would rather be doing. He seemed like just an all around great guy. An actress was in earlier, too. I can not for the life of me remember what roles I've seen her in, but I recognized her right away. After helping her, she said I was "just such a nice person". She's an older red-haired lady...usually plays fairly reserved roles (I'll think of one eventually).
I am currently working on character sketches for a 15 minute short I'm going to be doing sometime in the near future. I hope to have it done by the end of the year, but I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of trial and error. I'll post up some of my sketches for it once I have it all laid out and ready to start animating.
Well, that's about where I am right now, besides fixing some of the links in my posts that have decided to stop working. Talk to you soon.
