Finality
Well, there you have it. The animation is not exactly finished yet, as I still have to put in the credits at the end, and work out a few of the more minor technical details, but aside from that, I'm done! Done done done done done. Did I mention I'm done?
Yesterday I rode out to Lawrenceville to spend some time with my friends Chris and Wes. Chris is the guy with whom I'll be riding out to Alaska from Colorado starting May 1st. Which reminds me, I need to purchase a plane ticket to get to Colorado. I suppose anyone who reads this knows me already, but to any potential passersby, I'm in Georgia. We hung out, ate at Mellow Mushroom, which is the best pizza place around, in my opinion. The restaurant in L-ville isn't near as nice on the inside as the one in Chattanooga, but the pizza was still superb. Then, we went to the REI store that's a ways south of Lawrenceville on I-85 to pick up some backpacking gear. I bought a wonderful 20-degree Cat's Meow sleeping bag (Chris was jealous), a Petzl headlamp, a Nalgene, gaiters, a breathable shirt, rain pants, an extra pair of socks and sock liners, and a sleeping pad. I think that was it. Cost me around $440, but hey, it's well worth it. We're going to try to camp out most of the time during our 5-6 day trip on the Alcan highway rather than stay at hotels. Plus, we plan on doing all sorts of stuff once we're up there. I mean, we plan on climbing all the way up Mt. McKinley, and that's just for the first week. But seriously, I'm going to get a ton of use out of what I bought, even outside of actual hiking/backpacking/camping. I'm looking forward to it, for the most part at least. It's going to be weird, and it's one of those things where you don't feel fully confident in your decision to do it, but there's nothing else really calling your name. Don't worry, though, I'll still post here when I can and want to. I just learned from a cross-section of my demographic today that chronicles of activities I do and adventures I have might be well received if posted to the blog (said cross-section usually goes by the name of Katie). I'll do what I can.
Lastly for tonight, my current favorite Firesign Theatre quote comes from the latest album I just bought (see earlier post). The scene is an auction for a soldier's uniform, and the auctioneer says "What do I hear for this?" A voice in the audience yells out "That's metaphysically absurd, man! How do I know what you hear?" Golden.
