Countdown Till Christmas

So much to do and so little time. I've got a lot of my gifts for people either made, bought, or decided on but I have no idea how I'll get them all done in the amount of time given to me. Finals are this week, and in a way that's a blessing. Having only one class to show up to each day is much nicer than showing up for three and allows for a lot more spare time. It shouldn't be too difficult.

In other news, I finally got a chance to watch Bolt. My review: The story is cute framed by super cool over-the-top action, and dotted with more believable action that really isn't all that actiony in comparison. I liked the animation best, and by that I mean the way the animals moved. Bolt's smooth run makes him look like he's flying at any speed. And that kind of is how dog's (and wolves) run, with long bounding strides. (This is why wolves can pursue their prey over miles. The stride covers lots of ground with minimal effort, saving energy.)

So enough with the animator babble. Merry Christmas! And have a happy whatever-other-festival/holiday you may celebrate around this time of year!
