 Hey guys. I'm just going to use this space to vent a little bit about some health problems that have been really affecting me/us lately. This involves talk of medication, sleep problems, and depression/anxiety/ADHD. Plus some stuff about our dad, because every problem always seems to come back to our parents in one way or another, I guess.

Shit's scary. It's a lot of extra things to coordinate in the very limited time we have. But as scary as it is, the fear of what'll happen if we don't change something is even worse.

References: what other works of art, cinematic, pictorial, literary, did this film bring to mind, and why?


This movie refers a lot to the black-and-white Hollywood monster movies and “Justice League vs. The Communists!” comics that were popular during that era, and Bird faithfully maintained some aspects of those pieces of media while subverting, analyzing, and commenting on others. 
The film’s score, as already mentioned, is directly evocative of the classical and orchestral music genres. If you like the idea of 1950s Americana combined with soul-crushing nuclear apocalypse, but want to see more of the nuclear apocalypse part, consider playing the video game Fallout 3.


...Are we bad people for writing that?

I feel like a bad person for writing that.

 It's time again for a list of shit that needs to get done in the near future! Wahoo.
  • Get all the info on what payments need to be made for the apartment, send them to Dad
  • Finish editing HeadNest (oh god we haven't finished editing the HeadNest) by Monday
  • PICK UP MEDS BECAUSE CVS IS BULLSHIT AND WE NEED THOSE TO DO LITERALLY ANYTHING RIGHT NOW
  • Make Kris' walk cycle by Tuesday
  • Shoot the transitions exercise by sometime.
  • Return camera and tripod on Tuesday. And it was 7.
  • Check mailroom tomorrow between 6 and 8 PM, harass them about where the package from our sister went
  • Write that film analysis by Wednesday, also read some article??
  • Do... I think the interactive animation thing by Wednesday, feat. Dogthulhu (he's very cute, you guys would like him)
  • Make a nice draw for Friday
...yeah, our life is pretty hectic right now and shows few signs of improvement.

In other news, I (well partially I, me and Henry were kind of blending at the time) met what appears to be a new headmate or fragment or something? Her name is Opal, and she is a yellow qilin; she looks kind of like this, except with much longer hair and glowing white eyes. Also, you know, yellow. She is nonverbal, but communicates with body language and by sending visual images. She tried to invite us into her house (she has a CRYSTAL LIGHT PALACE, you guys), but it was very difficult to look around inside past the foyer, because our brain kept going like "we don't know the floor plan of this place, make one!!!". Basically, we were told that the Crystal Light Palace (TM) existed, but not what it looked like inside, which was a bummer.

But Opal herself seems really cute and sweet and I, for one, support her. I hope we can learn more about her in the future!

 Finally filmed that stupid commercial we've been trying to do forever, and just learned that we actually already did everything we needed for tomorrow's homework, instead of having to dump another 5 hours into it. ...Also, tomorrow Ben and Jerry's gives out free ice cream.

Today is a good day.

(Also been contemplating pre-ordering Persona 5, but really, there's no point. It's not as if we'll have the time to play it in the next six weeks anyway. After a full month, they'll probably have enough stock in the video game shops that we can just walk in and pick it up.)

So, taking a leaf out of a certain other user's book, we figured we'd start up some weekly tasklist stuff to keep track of what we need to get done, and also so everyone else can see why animation is basically self-inflicted art hell. Let's begin!!

...So yeah, as you can see, we're having the time of our lives over here and not overworked/falling behind at all. The only comfort is knowing that in six weeks, this will be all over. We'll be able to go home and kinda relax and maybe, maybe be able to play some of those games we bought like four months ago.
