THE SIMPSONS NEWS

Man, this is a really stressful week.  I got into work Monday expecting to go back and work on Lance’s show.  When Lance showed up I found out what I was going to be working on once I got on his show, namely, I was going to be in charge of some storyboard revisions. It was going to be a lot of work.  Before I could start though, I had to pick up more work from the Halloween show because they really needed help.  I would start work on Lance’s show on Wednesday. Thing is, the work I got from the Halloween show is a crazy amount of work.  I didn’t think there was a way to finish it by Wednesday.  Not only that, but I have to be gone on Friday because we can’t leave the kids in daycare that day, so I have to take care of them.  On Tuesday and Wednesday, I was planning to work 12 hour days to make up for the time I was going to be off.  I did on Tuesday but not on Wednesday.  Wednesday night around 3 I was told I needed to be done with what I had by 6.  No one had told me I had to be done Wednesday until that moment.  I’m glad I had put in the extra hours.  I managed to finish the sequence of scenes with the bare minimum of work needed for it to be watchable. Had I had more time I would have made it look better.  At least I managed to finish.

Today, I get to start on Lance’s show.  I’ll stay late to try to finish as much as I can. The holidays are going to make our weeks shorter,  meaning we don’t have much time to do the revisions on the show before the next board-a-matic.

I’m so stressed out.

BOARD GAMES

On lighter news, last Friday I played yet another two games of Dreamblade against Andy.  Man, I love that game.  I have officially rated the game a 10 on Board Game Geek. It’s my first 10 rating.

BOARD GAMES

Oh yeah, and the Cosmic Encounter reprint from Fantasy Flight is finally out.  Woo Hoo!  I’ve been wanting that game for a while now and it’s finally out. Can’t wait to get it.

Now, if I only had the money to buy it…

RANDOM THING

Saw this video on Purple Pawn and thought it was great.

What happens when you invite three D&D “live action role-players” (a.k.a LARPers) to play the Magi in your Nativity play?  Take a look:
