Death-row inmates in Texas seem to love chicken fried anything, french fries and cheese burgers.

This is just so…neat and cool and right, to me. Animals showing animals of other species compassion, if that is what it is, gives me the warm fuzzies.

The summer term is nearly over and we’re currently working on finals in both classes.  In my 3D class there’s a woman who hardly posts, turns in assignments late, and is clearly not doing the required reading or work because her grasp of the software at this point is the same now as it was in the first week of class.

Why do people do this?  Why pay what amounts to a huge pile of money to take classes in something that doesn’t interest you or that you’re not willing to work at?  I mean hell, we’ve been told time and time again from our instructors, if you don’t like to work, don’t go into animation.

I don’t know, maybe she has some major drama going on in her life or something, but seriously, why take the class if you’re not going to put forth the effort for whatever reason?  At the beginning of class there was a guy who in his first post said he failed the class last time he took it.  Well, if he acted them the way he behaved while he was still in class I can see why.  IF he posted at all, it was only a partially done assignment and it was late.  Ridiculous.

What else is ridiculous is the fact that it’s 12:30 and I haven’t even started on my Animation final.  Better get on that.

Why, Mr. Peebles, why?

According to this older blog post Mr. Peebles is the world’s smallest cat. At a mere 5.9″ long and 2.2 lbs he’s already full grown at 2 years of age (that’d make him about 3.5 years now).

Mr. Peebles is now adopted by Dr. Donna Sassman, who felt sorry for the sweet little guy. “I was at a house doing vaccines on a dog and saw Mr. Peebles. He was very cute and I asked the owner ‘Can I have him?’ She said, ‘Yes, if you can catch him,’” says Dr. Donna Sassman.

Turns out the P-man has a genetic defect and that’s why.

This was an assignment for one of my classes this term. It was done entirely with my digital tablet. I had a lot of fun with it and have plans to refine it and finish it. Every character is based on some random internet photo of a stranger. Click for the full version.
