JCE 3D 4 Me

6 days ago

Journey to the Center of the Earth (what I worked on in Montreal) opened this weekend!! (Finally!)

Journey 3D

Lori, Mary Lou, Dave, Chris & I went up to San Francisco today to see it in 3-d (which is the only way to go, c'mon)

3-D Glasses!

Put On Your 3-D Glasses Now

The movie was fun - a bit cheeseball in some bits, but still fun and it was fun hearing the audience to react to the 3-d parts where it seemed like stuff was coming out at the audience... And to see what the characters were reacting to in the movie, since this is all I saw (it morphs from the original plates to the finished version that I did):

Big Drop

Mine Ride

So if JCE is showing in 3-D nearby, definitely go see it it! Marvel at Brendan's ACTing! Get dibs on the Mountain Guide! Compliment Lori & I on our mad roto-paint skillz!

Whenever I'm trying to take photos for my other blog, Ten likes to get in there and help... I don't think he's camera shy.

Wicked Lost Angeles

Jul 6, 2008

For the 4th of July, I flew down to LA to see Wicked with Virginia and get in some beach time...

4th of July Shrek-tacular

(this was in the window of the video store next to the theater. He's following me.)

Wicked at the Pantages Theater

The show was awesome - definitely worth the trip. Its coming up to San Francisco next year, and I think we'll be making a group outing for that one.

The next day, we went to yummy breakfast and then off to the beach to work on our sunburns:

Cora's Coffee Shoppe

And after all that hot sun, made the obligatory stop:

LA BR

Saturday night we watched like 6 episodes of Flight of the Conchords, which I am now addicted to (bought the dvds the next day, after I got home) And then Sunday, we went and got caffeinated and then I was off to the airport...

Las Chicas

On the flight home, we flew over the Los Padres and Big Sur wild fires -- this is what I saw out my window at Big Sur:

My New Ride

I got a new bike! Its an Electra Townie and I love it! I've been taking the train in the mornings and riding from the station to work (about 3.5 miles) and then biking all the way home (about 8-10 miles)

Ten wants us to make his dinner faster:

MeeeeOwwwww

Dad Day

Jun 14, 2008

My dad came over to celebrate Fathers Day and we went over to the cooler weather (um, meaning foggy) in Half Moon Bay, to go to the yarn store (a belated b-day gift for me so I can make this), go for a walk and see the sights:

Beach Rock

Hanging with the Locals

Panda-monium!

Our latest movie, Kung Fu Panda, opens today!! Go see it!!

Awesome Awesome-ness

Its good, I promise! We're really proud of this one - its funny, well-acted, beautiful to look at, and the action sequences are amazing. My favorite is the opening sequence (aka the dream sequence) and also the prison escape, and the end credits are cool... And stay through the credits (I know you were going to to see my name anyway, right?) there's a little something at the end, which I worked [really hard] on, coincidently...

And the reviews have been good if you don't believe me:
SF Chronicle
Palo Alto Weekly (Thanks, Doug!)
Rotten Tomatoes
Ain't It Cool News
NY Times

Going to the beach and don't have a thing to wear? Get this
Hungry?

(Here are some real panda photos, too, for good measure...)

Campin' Campin'!!

Jun 1, 2008

Mary Lou, Dave, Virginia, Chris & I all went up to Mendocino to go camping for a few days at Van Damme State Park (we've stayed at Russian Gulch the past couple times, but we thought we'd try this one...) I'd say a good time was had by all...

Spam-tern!

The first night we just set up camp, and made hot dogs, grilled cheese sammiches and, of course, s'mores!

The next day, we headed up to the Pygmy Forest and then hiked back through the park to our campground. We went into Mendocino for a bit for a couple things, and then Dave, Mary Lou, Virginia and I went to check out the beach by the campground.

Sunday, we started off with a hearty breakfast, packed up camp and hit the road -- and stopped for a root beer float and grilled cheese at The Hamburger Ranch in Cloverdale (love that place)

KFParty

May 30, 2008

In the midst of our vacation week, Chris & I went down to LA to attend the Kung Fu Panda crew wrap party. We got to stay at the historic Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, the screening was across the street at Grauman's Chinese Theater and then the party was back at the hotel.
