At my first TV job I hit it off with one of the animators, a girl named Christy Beckett. She introduced me to this cartoon because she had done some of the work on it. Sadly, over time I got confused about the title and stopped being able to find it online. Watching it again though, it's definitely as funny as I remember. Give it a watch and see for yourself. Much thanks to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lizzie_borden for helping me find it again.

| What a difference... |

What a difference a couple years and a helpful health insurance make. After nearly two years uninsured, I finally got health insurance last month. So, the first thing I did was schedule an appointment with a sleep medicine doctor. Today was the appointment. It went really well. The doctor was very competent and friendly, going out of her way to explain my options and what things meant. I need to take another sleep study, obviously, but it seems that sleep medicine has progressed significantly since my last study. Last time, there weren't really any viable option other than a CPAP. There was an invasive surgical option but that had a high failure rate. Well, nowadays, it seems unless I have moderate to severe apnea, and when I was tested last time I was told I only had mild to moderate apnea, it seems there are now at least half a dozen non-invasive option that might work for me. Since the CPAP was an utter failure last time this seems like wonderful news. So maybe the internet gods heard my bitching yesterday and decided to do something about it.
On a more somber note though, sunday is my cousin's unveiling. It hasn't actually been a year but his mom is in town so it's a convenient date for her. I'm going to be coming back from Philly for it. My dad wanted to know why I wanted to be there and the only answer I had was "for myself." We're going to visit mom afterwards. |

| One of those weeks |
[May. 7th, 2008|05:17 pm] |
It's been a rough week so far. I've utterly exhausted all week long. Denise is utterly stressed with the show approaching quickly so we haven't been getting along great. Just switched over to HD at work and I know nothing about it so it's been a rough learning process. I'm taking a sick day tomorrow and going to see a sleep medicine doctor since the CPAP never did anything for my apnea. Hopefully there is some other kind of solution since I can't spend the rest of my life this tired.
Oh and on sunday we go to the unveiling of my cousin's headstone and visit my mom. |

| A good night but... |
[Apr. 29th, 2008|10:39 am] |
Staying up until 3:30am watching Anime and having sex is great but doesn't leave a lot of time for sleep when you have to get up at 6am to catch a bus back to NYC. Especially when you only got 4 hours of sleep the night before.
I'd ask if anyone wants to lay bets on if I start hallucinating at work but I already know it take 5 days with 7 hours or less of sleep before I start seeing shit. Though the things in moving in the corner of your eye might put in an appearance. |

I'm really happy with the way this animation turned out. I just upgraded to FCS2 at work and I haven't really had a chance to play around with any of the new features or read the manuals. So this was made on the fly without any preparation and it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

Thank you so much for this photo. I use it as the background on my computer and it brings me great happiness everyday.

I could have probably told you this in person but I figured you'd see this sooner than you'd see me. |

| A strange day |
[Apr. 1st, 2008|06:04 pm] |
How this for weird and amazing? For the first time in the history of the character a Superman comic is going to be published in the United States by someone other than DC comics.
Yes, you heard that right.
You see, two weeks ago a Judge awarded half of the Superman copyright to the heirs of Jerry Siegel, one of Superman's creators. The first thing they did was granting the publishing rights to another company. So Oni Publishing will be reprinting the original Action Comics in which Superman had his first appearances. I really wish I could be a fly on the wall in DC Comics offices right now. |

Oh and the music was a complete coincidence. |

This has been the best week I've had in a very, very, very long time. A bunch of outstanding issues left over from last year were finally resolved and all in a positive manner. The legal issues are done with, my job situation has come together for at least the next 6 months, Denise thinks mom visited her, and best of all, Denise and I made our marriage legal.
Gotta say, this was a good week. |

You know what's sad? The fact that Governer Spitzer paid his escort service more than twice what I make in a year.
I guess I'm just not his type. Too much facial hair you think? |

While I'm sure none of you have, if you've ever wondered what I do at my job there's a video of what's apparently the best of it on youtube:

After many years together my parent's renewed their wedding vows today. It was a small ceremony, it had to be but it meant so much to everyone that was there. They've had their problems over the years and they're far from perfect but if Denise and I spend our lives together even half as committed as they are to each other I'll consider myself the luckiest man to have ever lived.
( Ding Dong, the bells are gonna chime )
To everyone who wished her and us well I thank you. I can only hope that your wishes and thoughts will be enough and ask that you keep sending as much as you can. |
