End-Game.

End-Game.

So, this semester I’m learning Maya—it’s the same 3-D animation software that Pixar uses. I felt as though I’d be naturally good at it, because I’m an artist, sculptor, computer whiz.

election night

election night

This election is crazy. It’s like a giant weight has been lifted; one friend said today he feels like he’s been fighting cancer for eight years, and woke up this morning cured. I understand that nothing will be better or perfect overnight, but at least we’re not veering off the tracks anymore.
