I can draw like a madman but I don't think I could ever make things "move well" like that.
I wouldn't mind learning to try though.

With thanks to John Mathot I applied for a job at The Simpsons today. At both Rough Draft and Film Roman. Wish me luck.
I still don't really see myself working on a show like that. I consider it more a writer's cartoon than an animator's one. It's first few seasons in my opinion were the best since they didn't have as much corporate handling as it became apparant in later years.

I also might be going in to help on Tom Green's internet talk show which seems like fun but doesn't pay.

Surprised he's still around. I really didn't care for him at all.

Bah. I am completely broke; I am leaving this place in less than a week, and I have almost no money, certainly nowhere near enough to get a new apartment. I have nowhere to go. I'm going to put my stuff into storage and look at being homeless for a while, or something. I'm not actually sure what I'm doing. I'll figure it out. A stray cat always lands on his feet.

That's true. I only wish I had that to go buy where I am. One of my dreams was operating my own animation studio in town with me running it (hopefully also make it a non-union operation, since I still can't stand where it would go if that happened). Seems like if you want something done, you'd have to do it yourself (I think my city has brought that notion to me with it's isolated interests). I only wish I had rich folks who wouldn't mind giving me a few thousand to start off with!
