thedriveintheatre - Ha! I’m glad you had fun talking to us crazy bunch in the chat room. Things can get pretty silly in there, but it’s always a blast to talk to you guys. :wink:

That’s really neat that a former Pixarian and Disney employee came to that SIGGRAPH seminar, by the way! I’m not surrpised that he had both positive and negative comments to reveal about both studios, particularly seeing as all companies have their flaws. Nevertheless, the information he gave must have been most interesting to listen to. It’s a rare opportunity to gain some valuable insight such as that, so I’m glad that you were there for it!

red - Wow. What a project! I’m glad to hear that you’re confident that you’ll ace the exam, though, which I’m sure you will. :wink:

Current Mood: Equally neutral and tender.

Reason: I was feeling a bit anxious yesterday, for some reason, and harnessed a demanding demeanor to top it all off, but today I’m doing much better. I recently listened to my parents talking about how they trust God in every situation, no matter how bad the circumstances may seem, and it’s always uplifting to see them act so positive. Additionally, I’ve lately been reading some past Skype chats that I’d had with some of my Pixar Planet friends, and I got a good chuckle out of them, as well as quite a few smiles. Heheh. :smiley:

Current Mood[/spoiler] - Epic, awesome, ecstatic.
Why? I just saw Up at my Dad’s office with one of my best friends, who had never seen it before. When Oscar nominations came out, she didn’t think Up should have gotten a Best Picture Nomination. Her first words after the movie were - “I was SO wrong. Up for Best Picture!!”

It was AWESOME. I love sharing what makes me so happy with my friends. :smiley:

GO UP!

This also marks my 10th viewing of Up, and it’s better every time.

#1323

Mood: Freakin’ tired.

Reason: Well, kinda obvious - it’s almost 2 AM here and I’m still up after watching movies with my sis and best friend all night. :stuck_out_tongue: There are a few threads I wanna discuss in, but I’m too tired to pull all my thoughts together. I’d probably come back tomorrow and find out I posted something like “Up is a great movie like Ratatouille and the balloons, the balloons they’re colorful and - squirrel.” :laughing:

I gotta turn this off before I fall over onto the laptop. Night, all. :wink:

#1324

Mood: Bummed liek ttly major!

Reason:

Guyssssssss, I’m totally gonna be late to watching the Oscars! D:

Yeah, cause I’m busy that day!

I’m busy helping make a feature film that day. So yeah. Can’t make it.

…

ACTUAL Mood: Too excited to sleep. I’m helping make a real movie!!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

#1325

Annoyed, stressed and tickedoff. My reading week is almost finished, and I was barely productive with anything. sighs And I only have 3 more days left to get some work done, so I’m going to have to use my time wisely now. :\

#1326

Mood: Fast-paced

Reason: Just finished sketching all my characters for Star Vacation (with the exception of Bernard Burns, which I’m thinking of doing soon), and I got Leticia Coleman’s reference sheet done. I’m currently working on her bio and information. I might do Shiatsu Masashi or Bissell Dustbuster tomorrrow; lineart usually takes me a while.

#1327

Mood: Kinda tired and… stuff.

Reason: Bleh, I don’t really know anymore. I just wish life would start getting better and I didn’t have to be constantly worrying about stuff in my subconscious… :frowning:

Maybe once I get some of my obligations done and draw a little bit, I’ll feel better. :slight_smile:

#1328

Mood: kinda tired, bored, angry at myself, some other stuff…

Reason: well first off, I haven’t exactly been sleeping all that great. I don’t know why, but for like the last 3 weeks every time I go to sleep at night, I get about 4 or 5 hours in, then I wake up, I go back to sleep, I get 1 or 2 hours, then it’s on and off until my alarm goes off in the morning (I do find it ammusing that I always wake up about 10 minutes before my alarm was supposed to wake me up :laughing: ), but yeah, I’'m always tired now.

Bored cuz, well I don’t know, not like, right now in particular, but I’m getting bored of my life. I mean, it’s not like I don’t go out and do things with friends and stuff, it’s just that when I’m not out with friends or talking with someone, I start to feel like there’s something wrong with me cuz I can’t find anything to do and everybody else can. I think I just hate living my life, and it’s not like I have a bad life either. :confused:

I’m angry at myself cuz I started to do this thing where you take an ice cube and rub it on your face and the idea is that it’s supposed to close the pores of the skin, thus making it harder for grease and dirt to get in there, thus reducing acne problems, and I think it’s working. The problem is that I think the ice did something to my finger tips where I held it and it made the skin blister up and start to peel off, and it’s actually starting to hurt. Like, I’m having trouble writing in school and stuff. Also, I’m having trouble concentrating in class, like I’ve never had a problem with it before, but I’m seriuosly day dreaming during lectures, and I don’t know if it’s the sleeping problem or if it’s just some other stuff I’ve got going on but still, school seems so much harder now.

I’m having weird feelings lately concerning my future also. I have no freaking clue what i’m going to do in the next 5 years. I don’t know if I want to go to college the year after I graduate or take a year off from school. I’m starting to think about money, will I have enough of it in the future? will i be able to support myself? Can I afford a trip to Maine to see little_chef? It’s all getting real hard… I guess this is growing up :unamused:

Some relationship problems with me and little_chef also. This is probably the hardest it’s been in a while as far as communication goes. 2010 hasn’t been a great year as far as our relationship goes.

So yeah, with all that out there, I feel a lot better now. :slight_smile:

#1329

I feel the same, mo. I should be really excited today, but for some reason I’m feeling depressed instead.

Mood: 1/2 Happy, 1/4 Sad, 1/4 Bored

I just came back from an interview for a contributor position with my university’s magazine (the same one I’ve been writing reviews to last year, but it’s a different production team now). I pitched writing a regular column or drawing political cartoons to the editor, and she was really sweet and supportive, but she apologised as they “don’t have any more space left to print”. I drew a rather lame sample and gave it to her for future publication (which by the time, the topic would’ve been stale already), and she gave me a free DVD to review, so I’m very grateful for her taking the time to entertain my meeting. Just a little disappointed that my pitches didn’t work out.

And while I’m really happy that Up has won two Little Man Statues last night, I’m kinda annoyed with the Academy’s predictability once again. Granted, Ms Bigalow has made history herself for being the first female director to win both awards, and Avatar deserved all the awards it got unequivocally, but I’m just sore that Pixar missed the chance to make animation history again. I just wish they’d get rid of the Best Animation category, it’s a freakin’ cop-out, IMO. And PATF didn’t win Best Original Song although it got two noms. :frowning:

And I released an intro video on my Youtube, but I didn’t finish the videos to be linked at the end in time for the Oscars. I’m sick of my stupid procrastination habit. My friends are moving on to new projects, and I’m stuck behind a semester making up for missing credits due to an administrative muck-up (of which I’m partly to blame for my ignorance). I have only two days of school, but I’ve not got a job, or indulged in much fanwork yet, and still trying to sort out the bills, student visa renewal, and stupid scammers stuffing my mailbox and phone (Apparently I owe a mysterious company I’ve never heard of a lot of money and they will sue me if I don’t pay up).

I’m sorry if I sound whiny today, but this is what I feel. I hope I’ll feel better tomorrow.

#1330

Mood: frustrated.

Anyone ever have the feeling of encoutering a puzzle, but you can’t solve it, but you keep insisting that you finish it?

#1331

lizardgirl- Thanks again :slight_smile: !

little_chef_eva09, mo, thedriveintheatre- I know who you guys feel. I’m sorry, I wish things were going better for you. I’ve kinda been feeling the same way, board and stressed for no apparent reason. I mean, my life is great now! Why have I been feeling so off? I don’t know, but I know how you feel. But it’s starting to get better for me, so I’m sure it’ll get better for you, too! You’ll all be in my prayers :slight_smile: .

The Star Swordsman- All the time. It’s annoying, ain’t it :confused: ? I think I feel that every time I pick up my math book :unamused: …

Current Mood: Good, better than I was.

Reason: Well, I gotta thank God for my better mood, because I don’t have any other reason :laughing: . I’ve been more consistent with my devotions, and I’m spending more time with God, so that helps, of course. I’ve also gotten better at my timing, getting stuff done faster. I’ve been working out almost every day on Wii Fit, which is a lot of fun :slight_smile: ! It was kinda my Mom’s birthday present for all of us to share, which also means more time with family, which is always good :wink: . And I’m making myself feel better. It got really old not feeling good. I’m over it… I’m just gonna be happy whether I like it or not :laughing: .

#1332

Mood: content, bored

Reason: Watching my little sister today. She’s sick and nobody else could watch her, so I’m staying home from school today to watch her. She wanted to watch a show called The Middle. So it’s an all right show, it’s kinda funny. Not spectacular or anything. So yeah, just hanging out right now. Maybe I’ll mess around with my animation software later or something.

#1333

^ Gasp. What are you doing online at this time of morning? :laughing:

Hope your sister feels better soon! Being sick is no fun. :frowning:

–

Mood: A little surprised, and kinda happy :slight_smile:

Reason: Last night I got a message on Facebook from this guy I kinda know, who added me a while back, but I can’t add him cuz my parents say I can’t add guys (YET. I turn 18 this summer, so hopefully that’ll change! :stuck_out_tongue:). He was all like “oh please please add me” and all this stuff, so I replied and told him why I couldn’t. Anyway, when I woke up this morning, he had told me he was sorry for being mean to me a while back. He used to kinda make fun of me all the time, and our opinions always clashed and stuff, and all this time I really thought he hated me… then he sent me that message, and I was really touched. :slight_smile: I never thought a kid like him would actually apologize, you know? I dunno. It was just really sweet. He’s changed a lot and grown up over the past few years, and I’m proud of him. That really showed character.

Extremely exhausted and tired due to massive amount of college work. I nearly fell asleep during class today too.

Thankfully Friday is coming up soon, and I even made a plan to sit and relax on my cozy sofa and have a Pixar movie marathon. :smiley:

#1335

little_chef- That’s cool, it’s great when something like that happens and someone changes for the positive.

A Pixar marathon sounds like a good idea, Danachii! I’m rather tempted to have one myself.

Mood: Very pleased.

Reason: January exams results day today, and I ended up doing pretty well. Two As in a biology exam and English exam, with one hundred percent in the latter- couldn’t be happier with both of those. Especially as the English one was a re-take and last year no-one in our class got above a C, so it feels satisfying to get full marks this time. I might not need these results to get into uni, but hey, when you’ve started something, you might as well try and make the most out of it.

#1336

Mood: Kinda yucky / mixed :frowning:

Reason: A couple of reasons, I guess. I came down with a cold yesterday (ewwie) and felt absolutely miserable, but I’m feeling a bit better since waking up this morning. At least one side of my nose isn’t plugged up and it’s not running all over the place anymore. :laughing: My throat gets clogged up though, so I’m constantly coughing or my voice catches when I try to talk. :frowning: bleh.

I haven’t talked to mo in what feels like forever, and I keep hoping he’s doing okay cuz he hasn’t written me in a while now. I really hope he doesn’t think our “relationship problems” are his fault. (I’ve tried telling him a million times it’s not! :stuck_out_tongue:) It’s just… a bunch of stuff has come up and I’m not really sure how to handle it all without hurting either one of us. sigh :frowning:

#1337

I hope things get better for you soon!! that’s hard, when they don’t write back. Hang in there! :smiley:

Mood: frustrated/upset.

I don’t have very long hair, but apparently my [militant] academy thinks so, and unless I get a (very short) haircut and get rid of all facial hair, I won’t be able to graduate. And I graduate the day before I go to Disneyworld…so in all the pictures and everything, I’m gonna look ridiculous! Sort of frustrated today…college will be so much different.

On the flipside: iPad preorders start :slight_smile: happy about that

#1338

Mood: Mad And Sad

There is a March Madness thing in the U.S and as you know I am from Michigan and it was Michigan Vs. Ohio and if they didn’t make it they wouldn’t get into the tournament and it was (MI) 64- 64 (OH) and there were two seconds left, and the clock started late and RIGHT when it started Ohio threw the ball and won! :frowning:
We were watching the whole game in class, and when Ohio made the hoop, my class, and other classes we heard shouted “NOOOO!” My teacher is the daughter of the Michigan coach and she started sobbing! I mean, the clock started late! It’s not fair! SHAME on you Ohio! You cheated AND made my teacher cry for 5 minutes!

#1339

Mood:Happyish now.
Why? Had an awful day, starting with a doctor’s visit, but we picked up a LEGO Toy Story set and it is curing my bad mood with it’s adorableness.

EDIT: It’s the Woody and Buzz to the Rescue set. :smiley:

#1340

Which set did you get?!?! :slight_smile: I want to get one

Mood: grand. I’m over the hair thing I guess…cleaning up a rough animation I started on, and humming. always a good-mood-maker.
