kris (with a k): life and works of

okay…time for another update from me.

programming is going well. the teacher isn’t very user friendly and doesn’t know how to post assignments, so it’s kind of hard to know when something is due. but i’m pretty sure i have a 2d world project due sometime next week. don’t worry, it’ll get done.

animation is AWESOME!!! our next project is rotoscoping. i have this breakdance footage from archive.org. i’ll post the finished product. it should be AMAZING. cause i’m working on it now. i don’t even have one full second done and it’s awesome.

the novel…we’re currently starting dracula. we went over a history of how the novel may be an outlet for bram stoker’s apparently being homosexual. weird. anyways, just handed in an essay for that class as well. i wrote on frankenstein and how he is an outcast of society based solely on his appearance. he has everything else that would allow him to fit into society, but his appearance is his defeat.

myth, legend, and folklore is interesting. we just finished the epic of gilgamesh. we compared some of the flood narratives, such as the ones from genesis, the enuma elish, and gilgamesh. the material is very interesting and easy to read. i think we’re going to start reading hesiod’s theogony next. and sometime soon the golden ass. yes…i said ass. =p

finally, i went to a concert last night. by myself, of course…because everyone has classes and doesn’t usually like my music anyways. but it was so awesome. i caught a drumstick and 2 guitar pics. also caught 2 bottles of water that the lead singer threw into the crowd. i’ll post pictures of the drumstick and pics. i drank some of the water and passed it around to the rest of the crowd. the band is called the starting line. they’re awesome.
