I’m taking a Flash animation class at GWC on Thursday nights, and have been doing a little searching around for good material to pilfer… Ummm. I mean plagurize… No! I mean steal… Wait! I mean ’study’. Yeah… that’s what I meant.

Anywhoo… I found this little sci-fi anime that just cracked me up. Five weeks of looking at this stuff, and I’d have to say that this is the funniest one I’ve seen. This and many other movies by the same artist can be found at Slicksville. Enjoy:

I’ve got night classes every night of the week, with the exception of Tuesday. On Tuesday I have a morning class that starts at eight… which is unnaturally early for someone who’s gotten used to being on campus as late as 11:30 every other night — including Fridays.

Yesterday, after having a late lunch with my father, I developed a rather persistent headache that refused to go away with several Advil and a nap. I expected to wake up fine this morning, but realized that the headache was still there, in addition to a sore throat and a general, whole-body feeling of crappiness — I usually associate that with a low-grade fever. “Crap. I’m sick. And I have a night class tonight that I can’t miss.”

After this evening’s night class ended at eight, I planned on nothing more than a rapid drive home, a quick review of my vocabulary for tomorrow’s early morning quiz and then a quick slide into the numbness that is sleep, so I can wake up well rested and hopefully refreshed at the bright and early six o’clock hour. No dice. One of the guys accross the street is having a Monday Night Football party. I’m fucked. They are so loud there’s no way I can sleep. I’ve cranked the MP3 player — which normally wouldn’t bother me as I usually sleep with music — but my headache will only allow a certain volume, which is well below the threshold necessary to drown out the neighbors.
