You know Aardman Animation? The people who made the Wallace and Gromit films, and also the films; Chicken Run, Flushed Away, Pirates In an Adventure with Scientists (AKA The Pirates, Band of Misfits), and several other things? Well Yesterday I spent the day in an old music hall theatre with one of their main animators learning how to do stop motion animation. I even made my first "claymation" film.

I know no one else gives a shit about this, but I am still so excited about it that I am telling everyone, and it is your turn to be bored by my Sunday!

You Lucky Bastard

I really enjoy stop motion films for some reason. My favorite, not Aardman, is The Nightmare Before Christmas. As for Aardman, The Wrong Trousers is probably still my favorite as it's the first one I saw from them. Thou I have enjoyed all of them including all the shorts from the Creature Comforts series a lot.

Over the past weekend I got a new filing cabinet for the office, gorgeous 70F weather prompted a top down drive up the coast thru Malibu to Paradise Cove and my grandchild came over so it was pretty damn good.

As well as a museum of props, costumes etc. you also got to fly in the Tardis, got captured by Daleks and ended up in a Dalek space ship during a space battle between the old and new paradigms, and finally got to rescue the doctor (when he was Matt Smith) from a second Pandorica!.
