Stuart: Cool... give me some brand names. 25 years in a cask will impove anything... even You!

M-Sky: Yeah, nice exterior; moldy, rotton, disintegrating interior... and I don't mean major organ groups....

but I am rebuilding a transition, not a transmission. And it is still kicking my ass.

hot tub sounds awesome. It's been fucking cold as hell in my office today. Even with all cashmere all the time I am still feeling a bit chilled.

The only transitions I have worked on are skate ramp transitions. New masonite about 4 layers making sure all nails go flat into the wood to prevent getting thrown while riding.

Is this the transition you speak of Stuart? If so give me the details. I haven't skated in years.

The evidence I've seen... i.e. the effect I have on people that I have met in the real world. They like me, but tend to edge away. I don't "feel" safe... although I'm physically harmless, I'm psychically (emotionally) dangerous... I guess. If you watch the trees flop around you think, "Hmmm, the wind must be blowing". As I watch people edge away, I think, "Hmmm, I must blow..." But, be that as it may, I really like me and I think I'm a wonderful person, so it's all good....

Join me in a Macallens... there's still a little of that bottle left... hmmmm?

I don't know if it is your issue but mouths are very hard to animate correctly. There is so much movement in that area from different muscles that it is really difficult to imitate without looking fake.

Sam, how bad do you think I would damage my car by hauling a small trailer to Burning Man? Do you think I would be better off with a roof container?

I am going to be bringing alot more shit this year and need more room.

I'm not having a problem animating the figure. I am having a problem with the transition to a still, falt piece of art to the 3D moving character.

To quote the line I just heard on the Simpson's, for absolutely no other reason than how funny it is.

Ned Flanders in a scene depicting the story of the trojan horse.

"Everytime the people think of wood, they will think of trojans"

......were they ever looking at me funny when I showed up nekkid and wet at the liquor store. They looked at me even funnier when I tried to explain I was just on a beer run and then back to the virtual hot tub on the eplaya. Almost didn't sell me my damn beer, fuckers. Brrr! It's chilly!

Sorry, slipped out for a while.....

I'm starting to feel like I'm getting a cold........
I'll take some of that Macallen if there's any left Sam.
Wll, Sam....I still hope to meet you out there anyways.
And as long as you feel good about yourself that's good.

Crap, I'm getting tired!
