Scanner = Fucked
Goddammit. My scanner appears to be well and truly fucked. It was fine before I went to the UK, but now it won’t even give me a proper preview scan. Bollocks. I’ve got a load of film awaiting scanning too…

practicalopacity: The commenter on that blog, I’m sure, meant nothing malicious in his mild criticism. However, to me, his remarks inadvertently illustrate a sinister side effect of social networking: it’s never enough.  Khoi hits a few nails on the head.

Looooong day (again). Next up: toddler birthday party. Oh the humanity…

Damn that was a busy day. Body mocap in the morning, facial capture in the afternoon. Home for toddler bed and bathtime. Now, vodka.
