august 1, 2010 — there was this party i heard about in baltimore. went to it. turns out it's at the house i want to live at next semester. some members of the cast were there (trying to sound pretentious). i asked a few musician friends if they would record for it. hopefully pans out. got annihilated and tried to recall a story about having had sex for eight hours. came off as impressive and not extremely painful, seemed bad. on the verge of blacking out at present. miss my girlfriend a lot.
august 5, 2010 — plans for the day: start working on 'dive pack', follow up on applying to work at american apparel (lol), figure out some color scheme correlation (via script re-writes/scene descriptions), send my girlfriend a hand-written letter via snail mail.
august 8, 2010 — super stressful day, yet managed not to do any work at all. it's my parent's anniversary and they went on vacay w/o us kids. since we've all been away at college or some other sort of activity for the past year, seems unfair that we get no vacay. n e way, some progress on 'dive pack' has been made. character designs drawn, outline for the first episode complete. now going to have a little friendly competition between me and myself. the challenge: eat three bowls of carbohydrate-rich raisin bran granola crunch and finish the storyboards before i a) fall asleep, b) have to shit, or c) get distracted by the internet/handle of alcohol sitting beside me. may the best _____ win!
august 11, 2010 — holy shit. it's 5a.m. and i just finished doing character designs for episode one of 'the dive pack'. received the first draft of the script from james at around 3a.m.. feeling pretty stoked or tired or something. tomorrow is storyboarding day, also, somehow came into possession of a rare film which i plan to lull myself to sleep to. finished watching carl sagan's 'cosmos' as well as his film, 'contact' on hulu and netflicks (respectively) today. my girlfriend put on a play of disney's 'aladdin' at her camp today also. seemed extremely productive in a 'totally sweet' way. should i post the dive pack designs in the gallery? can't decide if they are enough of a derivative of 'dead midgets' to include here. hmmm.
august 13, 2010 — very little actual progress on any work. feel like if i mention anything i'll be re-hashing old blog posts for a third or fourth time. i always forget how much work i've signed up for when i say 'i will do [something]'. it's always way more work than expected and only seems to need to get done at the least convenient times (while watching a movie/eating delicious food/conversing with friends). not that i've lost any passion whatsoever, but it's getting harder. can't wait for that crunch-time adrenaline rush -- that is how i like to work, pressed for fucking time.
