Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

I don’t know if I’ve ever gone political on this blog before, but man, there’s so much ridiculous stuff being said about the potential concealed weapons ban in Lincoln that I’ve just got to put some pieces together. First off, I think the concealed weapons bill passed by the Legislature this year is ridiculous. It […]

This week’s American Idol

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

I am so sick of how unfair Randy and Paula are to Katharine. They constantly rip her for attempting to sound like the greats, or whatever. First off, I’m always amazed at how confidently original she sounds. The night she got harassed for sounding like Whitney Houston, I had to ask Sara who sang that […]

New fast food items – REVIEWED

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

Both Arby’s and Wendy’s have recently unveiled new menu items to expand beyond the traditional fare. While this is not to the degree of Jack in the Box serving burgers, tacos and teriyaki bowls, it’s inching uncomfortably close. Wendy’s Frescata SandwichesThese new delights are obviously targeted at the health-conscious, because they are advertised packaged with […]

Woo hah

Well, I can barely walk. My left ankle is killing me, and my right knee is sore. I have a massive headache, and my legs are hurting so bad I couldn’t fall asleep to even take a nap. But this morning, I ran my first ever half-marathon, and I had so much fun. I was […]

Bad Dreamz or something else punny

Monday, May 1st, 2006

I saw American Dreamz last night. I’m not going to link to anything or look for an image, for fear of giving some web hoster the wrong impression – that I liked it. The movie was just so, so bad. I thought from the commercials that it looked like it’d be fun, lighthearted satire. I […]

The Adventures of Dixie Cupp

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

This was just going to be a quick demonstration, but the club’s interest in the project and Maggie and Sara’s enthusiasm in performing their roles demanded that we finish the production.

Why Why Why

I put in a Lightning Seeds CD tonight as background music for getting some work done, and it just made me think about how much I enjoy this one-man band. I didn’t pick up the best of when it came out in 1997, because I remember objecting to something in the selection (I have no […]

They’ve never heard of the California Raisins

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

In addition to the usual film clubs, my new club this semester is Animation Club (now renamed ANNIE to better fit with DAVE). When I pitched it, I was thinking we could use Final Cut Express and layers to do some computer-based 2D animation. I knew we wouldn’t have the time or attention spans needed […]

Found it

I posted a few weeks ago about a story I was interviewed for regarding the big international cartoon controversy. I couldn’t find it online then, but now here it is.
