Into Beta

Finally, I have a bit of structure to my site. Not that there is much in the way of content yet. But you have to start somewhere right? Take a look:

Animatronyx.com

Maybe I got something done...

It doesn't really feel like it. I thought I'd get to spend the day working on my website and drawings. I did get to drawing class this morning. I also got to play Rock Band with Pricer and Mori. It's crazy how soon they're leaving. But I had soooo much fun, and the website will be there tomorrow.

I bought my plane ticket to Chicago today. And now I am discussing going to Puerto Rico with Mori, Jeff, and Pricer. I can't wait!

Control

Last night I saw Control at the Enzian. It was the story of the rise and fall of Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Division. The film was great. But I am probably biased. I was excited that it was directed Anton Corbijn (who has directed more great videos than I can name). The movie was a good portrayal of the events that led to Ian Curtis' suicide. He was married at an extremely young age. I hadn't realized that the movie covered only a span of less than ten years. It was interesting that even when he got what he desired, he still could not be happy. He had a wife and daughter, but longed for another woman. Joy Division became increasingly popular, and he couldn't handle it. That part of human nature scares me.

Summer Travel

My sister and her family are traveling to Chicago in a month or so. I thought it would be a great opportunity to visit them and my brother all at the same time. My brother said he'll take me to Six Flags. I can't wait. I just talked to Mori before and she said she might be going to Puerto Rico this summer. That sounds like another tempting trip. I better work some overtime if I really want to go. I went to figure drawing for a bit this morning. I need to get myself there regularly. I finally had started feeling pretty confident about drawing when I stopped going. It would be great to get back to that point.

I also started at creating my website. Its just been sitting. So, the plan is to at least get the structure up and working. I can always pretty it up later on.

Update?

I have become one of those people that never updates their blog. I hate going to blogs and seeing they haven't been touched in weeks. So, here is an update.

I went and watched a couple of shows at the Fringe Festival yesterday and I am hoping to go back today. Maybe I'll see Wet (by Drip) tonight. The Radiohead concert was last Tuesday (May 6th) which now feels like forever ago. I was so excited/nervous to get to see Onya again. It helped having Kym and John around, so the conversation wasn't only between the two of us. We spent Wednesday at Disney. The girls were so excited to get to Disney that it was contagious. The best part was that the parks were pretty empty and we got to go on all the rides we'd wanted to in a short amount of time. I'm looking forward to the next time we get to hang out.

Hopefully, I'll have more to post. I need to finish Syreena's drawing for the anniversary of her 25th birthday. So, I'll put some pics of it up when its completed. We saw an artist at the museum that had a really interesting style. So, she wants something similar. They paintings are very Christina Ricci like. So, I'll use her as inspiration as well.

Drawn Out

Drawing class was freezing this morning. Last week it was hot as hell. It didn't make a difference, I felt kind of off today. I went to see some of the Florida Film Festival Shorts yesterday. Hmm, I can't really say that I thought any of them were outstanding. I know a lot of work goes into even a short film. But there wasn't a single piece I saw that really struck me. Here are some drawings from the last couple of weeks.
