Went with a bunch of other video and visual FX people on a tour of Dreamworks Animation today. Â They do a lot of very cool work there, especially in character design. Â I drew this based on a life-sized statue that was in one of their lobbies.

We’ve submitted an offer on a house, and now comes the counter offer. Â We’ll see how this works out.

After 11 days away from work, that January 3rd alarm clock comes pretty painfully early.

Went to a surprise party tonight for a friend who has just finished law school like a champ. Â I can’t imagine putting myself through something like that. Â So cheers, Jason — enjoy that well-deserved drink! Â Oh, and then the months of agonizing bar prep…

Pretty much spent the whole day doing back-to-back stupid/awesome activities with friends. Â The annual horror/delight of the “scrambled eggsnog” breakfast, an early matinee of TRON, some more LEGO assembly, filling my face with delicious tacos, and finally a collective screening of a bad B-movie. Â It’s a pity days like this can’t last forever.

They met on the set of High School Musical! Â It was supposed to the fantasy romance for the ages! Â Oh, cruel world!

You know it’s a good day when you can spend a large chunk of it playing with LEGO. I definitely find that the more you play with LEGO, the greater respect you have for the amazing design behind it. Maybe that’s what inspired this goofy little sketch.

Did I mention that I need to go to bed earlier? Â This is about how I felt while doing tonight’s super-quick sketch before bed.

This was me after getting home from work today. Â I woke up a while later, and did this quick sketch while I still had a sliver of energy. Â I need to start going to bed earlier.
