Equilibrium & Yeats

I watched Equilibrium for the first time in quite awhile the other night, and I had forgot that the last 3 lines of this great Yeats poem were central to the story. So, the poem’s entirety is posted below. He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under … Continue reading

Still a Long way to go… Robert Frost

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by: Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there’s some mistake. The only … Continue reading

Maya 3D Model – Vulture

I am doing a vulture model for Chris Lawrence of lawrence3d.com fame. As you can tell, this is being done in Maya, my 3d Modeling software of choice. This will probably end up on his final demo reel, if deemed worthy. The poly count is ridiculous, because the feathers are individual planes, duplicated many times, and smooth for allowance of much bending and such for rigging and animation. Hopefully I can do a little zbrush/mudbox on the guy and then … Continue reading

News

Finished my first 10k walk/run. I signed up for the walk, and it was more of a fast walking-sometimes jogging sort of thing. Final time was about 1 hour 28 flat, minus 3-4 for getting up to the start line, and I did a little better than I wanted to. I set myself a very modest 15 minute mile pace, and it worked out nicely. The scenery really helped pass the time, and personal motivation kept me very focused. I … Continue reading

Reviews – World War Z, MSI, Surrealest

PLEASE GO SEE THE SURREALEST* FRIDAY APR 25th @ ROCK AND ROLL PIZZA!!!!!!!!! Mini – Book Review: World War Z, even better than I thought it would be. A documentary of the international war vs the zombies.

Check it out. Mini – Music … Continue reading

Just a Cast Away off your shore….

I dismissed Cast Away when it first came out. I don’t remember all the reasons why, but I do remember wondering how it could be interesting, I’ve see it done before in Shipwrecked, and similar themes in things like Treasure Island. I was wrong though, there is much more to this movie than island survival. I urge others who have felt the same way to give it a look and find what you can of yourself in it… maybe you … Continue reading

High Fidelity Apocalypse

I’ve watched the movie High Fidelity almost twice in it’s entirety on VH1 and AMC in the last 2 weeks. This is of course breaking the cardinal television vs dvd rule: If you watch more than 20 minutes of a movie on cable television that you own on dvd, you are an idiot, and therefore you must put in the dvd, avoiding the commercials, censorship, general loss of intended content, and thus not furthering your idiocy. The fact that I … Continue reading

What does a kiss mean?

**WARNING THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS NOTHING INTERESTING** What does a kiss mean? A kiss is the representative of love. It is one of the most simple explanations for a most complex feeling and state of being. It is a simple act that encompasses the overwhelming feelings that cannot be given voice. Think about it. A kiss can convey every emotion that love makes us feel. It can be passionate, sad, playful, or filled with regret. It is hello… it is goodbye. … Continue reading
