Working late

Good evening everyone. My brother (Rudolf) and I are working late on a project to be submitted before midnight central American time. The project is very cool. Marvel comics are running a competition for animators. They have provided a couple of comic strips and the task is to animate these static comics. One is a battle between Wolverine and The Hulk and the other is called Nova. Marvel has provided everything needed to complete the animation from soundtracks to effects. Finalists are given extra funds and two more weeks to complete the motiom comic and the winner gets $10000. Rudolf does the work and I provide moral support. It is a very mutually beneficial relationship. As we were working my brother mentioned how much he would like to sleep through the whole night for a change as opposed to working on this project. All I can think is thank goodness I have a valid reason to be awake at this time of night. I am not just lying there in the dark trying to count sheep (for some reason I can never get past 200), I am helping someone. Working late is in most cases considered to be a bad thing. But it can be a blessing to focus on something intricate and physical instead of grappling with the darkness of your mind. To shift the focus away from yourself and instead help out a friend. Maybe that is the cure to insomnia. To stop being selfish and reach out to others. Maybe I will sleep soundly after this is done. I pray that the upload of the file will be successful and on time.

Late night T.V

Late night television is most likely the worst kind of television out there. 200 channels and nothing to watch. This is the true destruction which the western civiliastion has unleashed. Worse than Mtv because usually you can just change to something better. But what if there is no better? What if you are stuck flipping between "A Double Shot At Love" and "Dr 90210" (seriously people, no-one wants to see that!) and Csi Miami (is Horatio dead yet?). Do these networks have any idea what kind of ratings can be gained by putting something decent on for the sleep deprived percentage of the population? And what is with the extra long ad breaks? Insomniacs have very short attention spans so we end changing the channel halfway through the break and then forgetting to change back. But, there is one ray of light: Disney channel. The combination of short and simple yet enjoysble plotlines, easy jokes and bright costumes, short ad breaks and funky theme songs creates the perfect channel for insomniacs. Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly whatever, Jack and Cody something and many others offer wonder refief from the horrors of late night T.V. Happy watching everyone.
