Yeah, I’ve got to still work but I’ll take overtime over a day off almost 73% of the time… I did the math.

First off on this “holiday” I give you another episode of I stole it so you don’t have to. It’s my favorite section of Paris Je T’Aime, which I highly recommend. The movie is a collection of short stories all written and directed by different people and set in or around Paris. They are doing the same thing with New York next year.

I’ve gotten back into watching movies lately. After having the same netflix movies for three weeks I finally have the motivation to watch them. I also downloaded a few that I missed in theaters and arn’t on DVD yet. Paris Je T’Aime was one, also Sunshine and King of Kong. All of which were good, King of Kong the weakest of the the three but still good. I also downloaded an HD copy of Reign Over Me, which was awesome and watched Trainspotting for the first time.

There is some new music in my iTunes rotation too. A new Eislely album, which I like a lot more than their other stuff, and a new John Vanderslice album which is too good. All in all i’ve been able to slip back into my little film school ritual of watching a new movie or listening to an album while getting some work done.

And the best part is I’ve actually got some stuff done :D

I’ve been working on my demo reel, I’ve got a neat concept for the menus and am making progress.

That is what I have at the moment. I want to have a lot more clips in there and I need some music but it’s well on it’s way to being something cool. All in all my menu animations for my DVD might be more impressive than the projects they are meant to show… that’s ok I guess.

Neither of my Heinz commercials made the finals. That’s ok, there are a lot of really good ones that did, so i’m satisfied. The first one is probably going to make it’s way to my resume DVD so it’s time well spent.

I’m out for now

P.S. for those who don’t spend that much time on youtube this is why africa is hot (if you get bored just skip to 1:20 it’s all worth it from there on)
