I just rewatched the episode of DBZ where Vegeta is killed by Freiza and I've really gotta say I wish he'd stayed dead, not because I dislike the character but because its the only real tear jerker in the entire series. Seriously, for the most part DBZ is just a fun (if slow paced) action shonen, but for about 10 minutes it becomes a surprisingly well done tragedy. Oh well.
Technically today, I will be heading back to Amherst. Break felt short. I didn't do a lot. I didn't want to.
Filming didn't go all according to plan. There's still some stuff to shoot but we can do most of it at school, which is good. The scenes we have done look nice so far, now its just a matter of polishing them.
I hung out with very few people during break. Sure, I saw everyone (except for Red Scare, sadly) but it wasn't like last year where I was out till 4 every other night. No, I was up that late most nights but I never really did much outside of video games and the usual mindless browsing. I suppose its the natural order of things. My dad said that happens. The "friends forever" thing is really "friends till we stop having things in common and have no reason to hang out anymore." The more I think about it the more I realize there were two things in common keeping "The Clique" (as its been Christened) together.
1) Necessity
2) Yu-Gi-Oh! cards
Neither of these things are relevant anymore.
I wonder how its gonna turn out. I should write more about the clique.
Its an interesting story.

Surviving Tedium: A Love Story
I haven't actually updated in over two weeks which is probably good because I like to keep myself busy. I have been doing the complete opposite this winter break, so you would think there would be at least a dozen posts, but for some reason I've been too lazy to even type outside of aim.
My days have fallen into a routine that plays out something like this:
1:00 PM- Wake up... Fucking phone/sun.
1:15- No seriously, I'm getting up/dressed.
1:30- Its never too late for breakfast. Wheaties time!
1:45- Check the email. Definitely no mindless browsing/internet porn/movie editing.
3:30- Ok maybe a little.
4:00- Let's see if anyone wants to watch a movie.
4:30- Fuck, no one's home.
6:30- I don't care what anyone says, Tom Cruise is a good actor.
7:00- Dinner!
8:00- Fuck, why is no one home?
10:00- People finally want to do stuff. Awesome.
10:30- Hello (insert friend here). What? Brawl? Yeah, awesome.
3:00 AM- Get out of my fucking house... Fine just one more round...
4:00- Bed time.
Occasionally you can replace some of those time slots with going out to see movies (on the actual big screen no less!), reading the horrible fan fiction of my friend Sam's ex-girlfriend, or going over to my neighbors house to... watch more movies... Yep. Quite the life style.
A break from the routine came about a week ago in the form of my girlfriend getting fed up with my bullshit and demanding we do something. This semi-vague something turned into going into Boston. That was a time that included most of the major goods. The art museum (boringly good), John Harvard's Pub (fatteningly good), Harvard Square (Surprisingly despite a surplus of hippies good) and lots of subway rides (awesomely good).
Its worth mentioning that I really like subway rides. All in all, it was a lot of fun and it will be good to see her again on a regular basis.
In movie news, we filmed a bunch outdoors and are really really almost done. We have even finally found a Wendy. Thank freaking god. The first episode is in production, though knowing our luck (and pacing) it probably won't be done till 2015.

Gorgon's Eye Update
Its been a while since I posted anything on this subject.
Here is a list of things that have kept me from doing so:
-Finals
-Vacation
-New Girlfriend
-Lazyness
That being said, there really wasn't much to talk about until recently.
I can now say, however that the long and strenuous editing process is fully underway. Rob vs Steve is completed (minus music and SFX), the first scene is done, and about 9 other scenes are done.
On Monday, we will start shooting the finale with Kevin, Dan, Steve, Victor and Myself. Shashank wants to show up and with any luck we can get Richie and Rob over for camera and choreography purposes. Once that is done we just need to Wendy stuff, as well as a reshoot of an early scene and a phone conversation with Dan. That's it. We are close, so very close to being done.
Happy New Year everyone.
