		<title>Watched Cheech and Chong movie as &#8220;research&#8221; at work. Didn&#8217;t get much work done on my drawing. Reading Brother&#8217;s Grimm fairytales. An interview with Jim Lujan and Matt Groening.</title>

Our Day Care decided to go on vacation Monday and Tuesday. This Monday, my wife started work. We had no one else to look after the kids for those days so I ended up having to stay home and take care of them.  This meant that I had to make up 16 hours [...]]]></description>

For the second time in a row, we&#8217;ve receive, as a gift, the latest DvD box set of the newly released Simpson&#8217;s season.  I like this quite a bit.  Especially since I haven&#8217;t been able to afford buying some of the past ones.  The nicest thing about the gift though, was not that [...]]]></description>

Wednesday was very exciting. I was asked to join a story meeting with my director, the head director of the show and the two writers who co-wrote the current script of the show we&#8217;re working on. It was really amazing. I was asked to join in when they were discussing ACT 4 of [...]]]></description>

Got a big compliment for my work from a director a few days ago and that felt good. Looks like the way I&#8217;m approaching the work is getting approval.
Then there was this incident: Last week I finished a Couch Gag that I got very little direction on. It was assigned to me, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simpsons season 22 will have live action puppet Simpsons. Winged ape. So you want to know some design principles?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[THE SIMPSONS NEWS
Yes, puppets. I can FINALLY say something about it because it&#8217;s in the Simpsons press release below.  There&#8217;s going to be an episode of the show where one of the acts will basically be a Simpsons puppet show.  When I first heard about it from the director, I got very excited.  I really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE SIMPSONS NEWS
Still working on that crazy Couch Gag this week.  I&#8217;m very surprised at how much work is being put into it.  I doubt anyone will say anything more than, &#8220;Wow, that was a weird Couch Gag,&#8221; and then forget about it and watch the show.  Oh well, it&#8217;s not like it isn&#8217;t fun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE SIMPSONS NEWS
Well, this week has been interesting. I was put on, what turned out to be, a very high profile Couch Gag.  Yeah, it&#8217;s very odd. The gag has a special guest writer and it seems to be very important to the Big Guys, so I had to do the best work I&#8217;d done [...]]]></description>

Ooh, job pressure is rising.  Turns out Act 3 had more changes than Act 1.  I started working on it and got pulled off it in order to work on a couch gag.  That meant I had even less time to revise Act 3. Now I&#8217;ve got to really crank it out so [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a four day work week this week.  As much as like getting a day off, I hate having less days to do my job.  The schedule doesn&#8217;t change because of any days off we have.  It just means we have less time to do our work. I&#8217;m starting on a new show [...]]]></description>

I managed to finish my ACT 2 assignment on Monday.  I would have finished it last week, only I took a longer lunch break than usual last Friday. I went to a local sports bar, with co-workers, to watch the Spain vs. Chile game.  It was a lot of fun, but it meant [...]]]></description>
