I need to write a paper on the experiment above, which shouldn't be too awful hard, considering how awesome it is. Please note that by 'awesome' I mean 'interesting' not 'great idea' or 'good'.
Still working on Derek's animation, and that is a half lie. I am working on my homework and this blog entry, and will work on the animation when I have time. Hoooooold your horses, Derek. :-)
Still working on starting up the California school. The Washington one is pretty well on its way. Looking at getting one in Hawaii. I don't know what happened to Oregon... it was supposed to go CA, OR, WA, but looks to be going Washington, California, Hawaii, and possibly Oregon? Considering a bunch of us live in Oregon, I find it somewhat strange that Oregon's the odd one out...
Ah well. www.achieveonline.org One of the people who's working on the one down in CA is coming up today. He's an old friend of the family, so he'll be bunking in with us 'till CA needs him again. He's 6'4, which is a foot taller than the tallest in our house (dad). Still trying to find him a place to sleep where his feet won't hang over the edge.
Also, I have discovered AFI. Not really a big fan of them overall, but I love their song, 'Prelude'. Check it out sometime, yeah?
I'm out.

Animation
Toon Boom is being buggy. When I first tried to export this as a video, everything was flipped horizontally. Really, I'm supposed to be falling out the LEFT side of the screen. I really don't care much about which side I fall out, though, so long as it's consistent. However, when the text is flipped horizontally as well so that you would need a mirror to read it...
Rather than go back and flip everything, I just went back and flipped all the text so that it was backwards and exported it again. It looked okay in the preview, but let's see if it worked.
Here be the mirror writing one:

Back!
California was a blast. Got to see an old friend. Pretty much the only thing we did was eat and walk the dogs. I have absolutely no complaints however, as they were both really, really fun, strange as that may sound. :)
Also! I got my first In-n-Out hamburger in almost two years. Hallelujah. Every person should make at least one trip to Southern California, if only for an In-n-Out hamburger. There be no better, I assure you.
Got a camera the day before we left to come back, so I don't really have many pictures. What few I do were mainly taken from behind a window, or from the plane. Not so sure any of them will turn out, but it was fun being one of those annoying, clicky tourists. Especially because I used to live around there, once upon a time.
Not too much had changed, which is surprising. Here, things are rarely the same as they were a month ago. In two years, it might look like a foreign country, compared to what it was two years prior.
S. CA still requires you speak Spanish if you want something. Almost everyone down there who works with people has a little thing under their name tag saying 'Yo Hablo Espanol'. After four days, I'm beginning to wonder if they shouldn't change that to 'I speak English'.
Oh, and I might be taking a trip to Beijing in the future. Wayne, a business man down there, was already making plans for it before I reminded him that it takes money to get to Beijing, and I didn't have any. So he told me to make a plan to get some. I told him that it would take a while to save enough for two tickets: Mom and mine. He said that if we paid for the tickets, he would pay for the rest. Hotel, food, everything.
So it looks like I might be going to China!
...But not for another few years. ;)
