... okay the title is because I'm watching the 'Simpson' episode where Homer changes his name to 'Max Power.'
Nobody snuggles with Max Power, you strap yourself in and feel the 'g's'
got that out of my system. Alright, tomorrow is my last day of working. It's been an incredible experience. Doing a Documentary film is an experience as you don't tell the story, but rather, the story tells itself to you. I've had fun going down memory lane for feature animation and I look forward to seeing this project finished in the future. It will be something else.
On a side note, I heard that my former company screwed the pooch again and a load of folks are being unloaded. I'm really sorry to hear that, but not surprised at all. I sort of saw the writing on the wall six months ago. As of now, I don't know what will happen next. But keep good thoughts out for all those being let go. It's going to be tough especially with another strike looming over our heads.
I know I will keep my eyes peeled for them.

forward thinking
ok.. so I'm at the store the other day and they are trying to get us from using plastic bags to canvas or paper. There's all this stuff printed about how bad the plastic bags are, what they do to the environment, etc.
pardon me, but wasn't the plastic bag the 1980s answer to environmental concerns from paper bags and trees? seriously, someone should have done some forward thinking back in the 80s. The damage of these bags that they would cause. Now we are moving towards a bagless society. Now that's not a bad thing, but what are 'bagladies' going to do. They will lose the term all together as they have no bags, and can not afford those cloth bags that Vons and Ralphs are selling for $1 each. I mean, seriously if they could afford that... well I just don't know.
I'm working right now at the moment, updating shots, thinking of new fun things to cut in this show. I'm wondering on how things are going at my old show (hmmmmmmmmm.... dreaming of things I can laugh about). Any how... I'm doing this for probably a couple of more weeks and then I don't know what I will be doing. the Strike in hollywood is a scary thing. We don't need another one and this will take out ALL PRODUCTION. Not like the WGA strike that kept animation safe. This will take out every form of film making and will be devastating to SoCal.
Pray that SAG comes to its senses and not do like WGA and put the town in a strike that will do more harm than good. in the end, the barely got what they were asking for in the beginning. They really made no dent, other than in pocketbooks of honest folks.
alright.. now I'm off for my massage and get this knot out of my back. Happy Thursday.

Getting rid of the masses
Today was yard sale day.
got rid of a lot things. it was nice. it's funny, you put stuff out early in the morning and you don't want to pass up not selling stuff so you tend to just throw the lowest price out at the first person who comes around. cause no matter what, come 1 pm and no one is there, you know you don't want to be looking at stuff thinking, "I have to take that to Goodwill now."
Money made, good job. next .... well afterwords janice and I ran out to get the tux for the wedding. in two weeks we'll meet up and look at what we are thinking of for the wedding. yeah.. stuff looked good. really exciting. now its my turn to start getting anxiety about the wedding (believe you me, it's coming).
I've been fighting a really sore back and shoulder the past few days. I'm working again at a desk sitting down and running an avid. When I was doing the 'Gatchaman" movie, I had a wonderful desk that was on hydraulics. It rose so I could stand and edit, or went down so I could sit. It helped with my back and my shoulder. Now I'm sitting at an avid and my back is catching up to this. The position of my arm on the mouse is causing PAIN like non other. The next film I do, I am DEMANDING a standing avid. I can't take four days of pain (and five more days till i have the masseuse). no news yet on the future. still waiting to see. I have some work to do here at home ... hoping for something in the future.
finally a few blurbs;
• Indy - saw it, loved it. I felt like a kid again and want to see it again.
• garden - still love doing it, but I need a little help and thus a gardener
• p.s. I love you - saw it tonight, cute film, sad, but it made me want to be back in Ireland and more importantly take janice there.
• sport players hosting SNL - NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO... who say's these people can act or have any right to be a 'comedic' person. Dear Lord, have we seen the pain that is, "Kazam"
ok. I want to go to bed. been a long day
night
