ANIMATION
....more practice for class

Once again. Simple. Silly. But it moves.

STUPID CRIMINALS

My home girl told me about the first one. So I decided to share a few others.

NC:
Two men were arrested after they flashed police lights at a car in front of them. They didn't attempt to approach the car. When it pulled over they drove off. Unfortunately for them, the car they flash was driven by an off-duty police officer. The off-duty officer of course contacted some on duty officers who eventually surrounded the pair. One was arrested for impersonating an officer and the other was arrested for assault on an officer.

SC:
A woman was arrested attempting to pay a ticket. Her crime? She drove to the courthouse in a stolen car. Deputies were given an anonymous tip that she would be in a stolen car. She had been in court two weeks prior and was found not guilty of possession of a stolen tag and guilty of driving without possession of a state driver's license.

Colorado:
A man wrote a not demanding money in attempt to rob a bank. This scholar wrote said note on the back his personal check. Authorities could still make out the information on the check though he blacked it out. Nothing more to say there.

TODAY'S LITTLE ANNOYANCE
...why I just need to work for myself

This morning I awoke around 6:50 am to prepare to leave for my 8:00am class. I arrived to the school at approximately 7:30am. Upon arrival I was made aware that the photocopier on this floor was still inoperable and the other had a line of people waiting to use it. Considering one of the other instructors had been there since 6:45am making copies, I knew that time was not on my side. The result of this was my inability to copy the syllabus or the project one guidelines for my 8:00am class. This is usual for the first week of classes, so I moved the said documents to a public folder for students to print off and read at will. No big deal. At 7:50am the head of the graphic design department bounces in the faculty work room and informs me that due to a shortage of lab space, I will now have to share the room with not 1, but 2 other classes. "Fortunately" (his words) the classes are small, the other 2 are taught by the same instructor, and they are studio and independent work classes so they won't interfere with lectures. Well, I discussed the sharing arrangements with the other instructor and we have it worked out. She will take one side of the room I will have the other. As I'm making the final preparations for the class, at 7:58am, the same head of the graphic design department comes in to let me know that the software that I need to use for this 8:00am class is not installed in the lab as of yet. It is "Priority 1" when the Mac tech gets in for the day. Well isn't that special. So all in all myself and my students got up early, fought traffic, to NOT be able to do anything. There were no other labs to go into. No way for me to do my lecture. No pre-production that could be done because that software is missing it's license in that room as well. Nothing. I could have stayed in bed.

SIMPLE ANIMATION
....an example for class

This isn't the greatest but it's an animation done in the last 5 hours, (if I had a faster comp and a real mouse it wouldn't have taken as long). It uses the instrumental of The Diplomat's Dipset Anthem. I'm working on my own project that, if it comes out right, is going to be a lot more interesting.

....what lies in the mind of a road rager


If you are un-aware, I hate non-drivers. My initial rant began out loud last year...
"To all those stupid bitches who decide they like to drive side by side on all three lanes. When did the speed limit on the freeway change to 45? Who made the rule that the left lane is the cruise lane? All you mutha fuckers who don't have a job to go to stay the hell off the road between the hours of 7 to 830 and 3 to 630. You got no where to go so why the hell you gotta get to nowhere early as shit. Sleep in bitches. FYI the lane that merges on to the highway is called the ACCELERATION LANE!! Which means excellerate you non driving assholes not slam on breaks! And what could I possibly have on the front of my car that makes it ok for you to turn out infront of me. If there's no one behind me WAIT a few more seconds. GRACIOUS!"

I expanded my rant in Road Rage 2.0. And tonight (this morning) I have come across a lovely poem by Poetri done on HBO's Def Poetry. Please. Enjoy.

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
....the return of The Boondocks!

Set those DVR's, TIVO's, VCR's, and alarm clocks, Adult Swim's controversial animated series is back. The premiere for Season 2 will air October 8 at 11:30pm on the Cartoon Network. Visit the official site for The Boondocks. The interface is amazing and you can catch a trailer and a sneak peak of one of the episodes. If the peak is any indicator, the show previews to be just as raw, poignant and hilarious as last season.
