Its in the fifties here in Buffalo which is a nice change of events after the enormous amount of sub-freezing weather we’ve had. Enough of that. Friday I went to Cleveland with Nico and Pat for some White Castle… what we didn’t know is that Cleveland is a giant ghetto. After a near encounter with some rather shady looking guy peeking out behind a building at us we decided to get the F out of that place. Too tired to drive we went to a Motel 6, I mean after all they kept the light on for us. After a few hours of sleep we made our way back, I drove the first leg weaving in an out of traffic pushing Nico’s Lincoln to its limits and making excellent time. After covering a lot of ground Nico and I decided to switch, literally 2 minutes after switching Nico’s back tire blew out. Pat and I quickly changed the tire and we were on our way. White Castle was good but I’m starting to think Ted’s would have sufficed. Joe and I worked on some new animations, using construction paper… should be done editing eventually. Speaking of editing, my computer sucks… I don’t know what happened to it but it is awful… I’m going to replace the hard drive and upgrade the RAM with my next check and hopefully that will do it but I don’t really know… I wish I had more money so I could make more videos, there are too many ideas in my head being devoured by a lack of resources. Moving on, I ship out soon… April 3rd. I’ve been spending time with all of my friends, getting the final goodbye type things out of the way – it’s strange… So far nothing has been too sad but I know the day I leave it will be very sad as I say my final “goodbye for now” to the person who has rode shotgun with me on this crazy ride the past 2 years. Anyway… That’s all for now. Things to do and so on and so forth.
