So it’s about damn time.

As usual, nothing has changed.

Probably the biggest news is that my family has decided to go to Ireland in September. I’m so freaking excited.

At first my mom and dad said they were going, and I had wanted to go since forever, so they were cool parents and let Joe and I in on the fun. It’ll be our first family vacation… probably since I’ve graduted high school or so.

This past weekend I participated in the 48 film festival. I was part of a HUGE team from school that was loaded with all-stars. I didn’t find out until Sunday, though, that the films are already playing this week… and I don’t have off of work to go see them. Truth be told, I’m a little bummed out about it because I spent my weekend at school to try and help out as much as I could. They asked me to do some things which I got done with plenty of time, and then asked me to change them at least 3 times, and then ended up not using them. Once again, one of the things I did was the credits… only this time I only got to do plain text credits, which seemed like a waste to me. We were allotted 60 seconds for credits, and they chose not to use that 60 seconds. Their loss, I guess. They want me to do graphics for an extended cut of the film, but I’m hesitant to for fear of wasting my time on more work that won’t get used.

I think I’m going to get rid of the flash header on the page. Microsoft got sued for some dumb crap where someone else developed the idea to autorun scripts or something… which includes flash animations. So now whenever my page loads it annoys me to see that the flash animation is clickable. I’ve got a neat idea that I’ve been wanting to do for a little while but I just need to find the time to stop doing other things and do it.
