-started summer class. flash animation has been good, very easy so far. i could see myself getting into this. it's good to start thinking in keyframes as well. visual basic was easy to get back into from high school until i got to the coding view. i might be effed.
-took our engagement pictures last week. it was cold and rainy so we went to the botanical gardens at the zoo instead. they haven't been finished yet, but here's one of my favorite shots that doesn't need much photoshopping, if any.
- we visited valle vista and i freakin loved it. it's NICE. the ceremony site is connected to the reception room. the ceremony room is even nicer than expected, and actually quite unique. the reception room is pretty typical of a country club or banquet hall, but it's classy. i like the fact they do everything for you, and i've heard good things about them. so i'm pretty sure we're going to go with that place and get a deposit on it asap. looks like we're going to be getting married june 7th 2009 at 4:30 pm. now we just need to find a freaking officiant.
-michelle and i have embarked on a new zoo-related project - an interactive web-based guide to the animals at the zoo, with personal information about the popular ones. we're doing it on the side throughout the summer and we'd like it to be flash based with some video clips and photos. yea, it's kind of ambitious.
-i don't really plan on getting out that much this summer, but michelle, jason, nathan and i are thinking of going on a two day trip to cincinnati as well. we want to visit the cincy zoo and newport aquarium. and then we're going to steven's wedding in july. i think that'll be it. i really wish we could go to a more interesting state than ohio, or even a weekend in chicago would be nice, but who can afford it. meh,
-355 days til graduation! i've also decided to keep a new countdown on my dashboard - days until i start applying for real jobs. 195 days until i start harassing people hardcore.
oh yea, i've outlined a 10 year plan for your amusement.
2009 - graduate, get married, get a job, move to southern california.
2009-2011 - work for a trailer production house
2012 - 2015 - if the mayans are wrong, work as an assistant editor on a tv show or with movies
2015 - reconsider my options and decide whether or not i should go to grad school for digital effects or color grading or something like that
2015-2017 - assistant editor/senior editor OR grad school (some combination)
2017-2019 - senior editor/leadership role
of course, if i do end up in hollywood (and the more i think about it, the more the lifestyle of southern california does appeal to me in every way and always has), things can move a lot faster than this (or go in a completely different direction), so this isn't really my map. it's just a possibility i wouldn't mind - would be nice to be at a director of post level by my early thirties.

you have a 10 year plan? i don't even have a 1 year plan.
Hey! It's good to hear from you. I read your myspace bulletins sometimes, sounds like you're doing well!
Good luck with all your plans!
