Babies and belated blogs

Wow, it's been a long time.

This summer I've been living at my father's house with him, my stepmom, and my brand-new brother (born on the 4th of July!), whom for the purposes of this blog I will be calling Beanbag. He's amazingly amazing and I am completely in love. He was born with a congenital cateract, and had to have surgery when he was just a month old, but since they removed his lens and gave him a contact, he's been just fine.
When last I wrote, I was planning to be a Resident Assistant at my college, but since then I've changed my mind and decided to instead live with Seven, one of my roommates from Spring Quarter in an apartment right next to campus. I will either be taking some time off from school and working bar in my dad's restaurant, or else I will be the Video Intern at the Electronic Media Department. I'm turning in my application tomorrow, so we shall see what we shall see.

Life hasn't been too terribly exciting, except for the baby stuff. Mostly I've just been reading a bunch of comics and playing a fair amount of Scrabble. Soon I'll be working behind the scenes on a short film that a friend of mine is producing, and moving into the new apartment, so those things should provide enough excitement to last me at least the month of September. I can't wait to have a kitchen that is all my own. Well, mine and Seven's, anyway. But he doesn't bake anything, so the oven is basically mine. Oh man, I can't wait to decorate! Domesticity is my weak point.

What else... I've been watching Undeclared since it came out on DVD last week, because I've been in love with that show since it was first aired. You should all go out and watch it, because it's great. I'm rereading Cryptonomicon for the sixth time- also highly recommended. I think the last time I read it was when I created this blog, hence the subtitle.

Also, this summer I'm taking an animation class, and my group is almost done with our final project, a 1:30 promo for a local film festival. I think it's going to turn out fairly well. Maybe I'll post it when it's completed.
