finally, a computer!

After being in Vancouver for basically two weeks, I have finally have got my hands on a computer for more than five minutes. The setup I've created is super ghetto: Ben's absolutely slow mac mini from last millennium hooked up to our livingroom TV, sitting on the ground with the keyboard and mouse. The rug is my mousepad. My neck is being strained from staring up at this huge TV.

North Vancouver has been super great so far. We are finally settled into the apartment, all my things have been unpacked. I spend way too much time in this apt though. Rain is an all day every day occurrence. This is no surprise to me though, I was well warned what Vancouver winters are like. It should rain for probably another good 3 months straight before it starts to calm down. Did you know that Vancouver's rain climate is actually called "Pineapple Express?" I think that is sort of funny.

Now that I'm all settled in and I've got a haircut, I need to start looking for a job, because my money will be gone fast.  At this point, I really do not care where I get a job. I will just hand out a resume at every single place nearby and wait for someone to call me back. Hell, I'll work at Zellers! 

I've already made a few friends and have got a few good stories under my belt. Who knows whats to come, but as long as I've got my boys Ben and Phil with me, everything will be okay. Sadly, I really have no way of photoshopping or editing without a proper computer. The one I'm using now is waayyy to ghetto. That means you won't be hearing too much from me on this blog for a while. 

I'll give you a heads up. This blog may very well die soon, but with the death of one thing, something else is born. Greater things are to come, so do not be afraid, bigger and grander things are to come sooner or later.

goodbye!

So, today is my last day in Red Deer. I've just been spending the day packing and stuff, nothing too exciting. But when I get to Vancouver I'm not going to have much opportunity to get to write on my blog for the fact I won't have a computer. So, I leave you with this comic made by yours truly. It might be some time before the next post comes, but I assure you, it will come. Vancouver here I come!!

halloween!

Next post I will show you my brilliant scheme for still getting candy door-to-door without looking like a fool. Sadly, you'll have to wait a whole year before you can try the same! I'll tell you how tonight foils out.

In the meantime, I wanted to share this video with you on Halloween to educate you on the dangers of murderers. Scary movies have created the impression on us that most killers are humans or animals or some form of spirit. But a blood-thirsty murderer can come in any shape or form. Let this video be a well learned lesson. "Billy's Balloon" by Don Hertzfeldt.

shine!

As of right now, I only have 3 shifts left at the bank. Friday is my last day! It's crazy. Then the weekend, and one week of sitting on my ass. Then once Friday hits again, I'm off to Vancouver, never to return! Well, I'll come visit family, but I'll mostly try to get everyone to head west. Anyway, Since I'll be living with Phil and Ben, we've figured this would be the supreme time to get a ton of filming done. We have a project mapped out, but we still need a production company name. So I've been working on a bunch of ideas, and here is one. I made up these two logos from scratch pretty quick, so There's still a lot of work they could use. I'm not even too set on the name, but I just want something that really represents us and our films. Its harder than you'd think to find a good name!

It's late, and I gotta get up early tomorrow to take part in my 3rd last shift! WOOOO!
