College Life

I just discovered the main goal of the Computer Animation department. To slowly torture and crush our souls by taking away our sanity, strength, and sleep! Hahahahahaaaaa...........it's working!!!!!! They won't stop till they see us dead on the floor of the labs!!!!They trick us in the beginning acting all nice. They boost our self esteem and then we try something new........they send us out crying in the rain!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA.......(why am I laughing?!.....I lost my sanity already!)

Anime-tion

September 30, 2013

Over the weekend my roommates and I went to the anime store. Surprisingly, I bought nothing! We also went to an Asian market. I miss China Town!!! Saturday was fun and relaxing, but once Sunday hit it was all work no play. I was working in the animation labs from 2PM-11:20PM!!! I lost track of time again hahaha. The next thing I knew it was pitch black outside when I was leaving the animation labs. Since we don't have windows in the labs we loose track of time easily. Oh, my roommate Amy was sent on a wild goose chase for 3 weeks all thanks to Wikipedia! Let this be a lesson young one's, DO NOT RELY ON WIKI!!!!!!! My roommate Nick is torturing me! She enjoys freaking me out in more ways than I even thought possible! I nearly forgot about the Moon Festival too! Luckily I somehow remembered and my mom was able to get me some moon cakes before they were all gone. As my roommates say "I'm so Asian!" hahahaha XD. 

Zoltar

I've had my fun with this project.............now please let it ennnddd waaawaaaaaawaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taì Meí Character Model Sheet

This is my character inspired by my childhood. Taì Meí is my real name.

The Mortal Instruments

I just saw the movie The Mortal Instruments. I loved it!!!! Yes, it was predictable, but the animation and computer graphics were impressive. My roommate and I aught over the hot Asian, Magnus Bane. I called dibs and said that I deserve him cause we both are Chinese hahahaha. In the end we made a deal, she gets the blonde boy, Jace and I get Asian boy, Magnus. I will definitely be going to see the sequel!
