Yay! Another new toy! Well, it's more like it's a used toy.. And more like a used vehicle. I picked up my first motorcycle today, about three hours ago at the Suzuki dealership. It's a 1999 Suzuki GS500E with 8200 miles. I finished the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course about a month ago, and have just been looking around for the right bike at the right price. This is going to replace my MINI as my commuter vehicle. The Cooper S will be relegated to shopping trips and vacation trips with Lisa. I'm pretty happy with the bike so far. It's yellow (like my MINI) and it has similar acceleration, so I'm not getting in over my head with the crazy crotch rocket pack. Two friends that I took the MSF course with got bigger, more expensive bikes. One a Harley Davidson 1200S Sportster, and the other a Ducati Monster. Ya. Not for me. I'd feel terrible if I were to drop either of those.
Stay tuned for pictures of it and my gear!
Hey fellow family members and friends! It's been a long time since there was a significant posting from Southern California. Now that we're back from vacation, we've got lots of pictures to share, and lots of news to tell!
Over the past half year I've been working at Digital Domain, here in Venice, California, on Pirates of the Caribbean III: At Worlds End. I also finished up three films prior, Clint Eastwoods Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima, and Disney's Meet the Robinsons 3D. Another film that I completed at Tippett Studio, Charlotte's Web, was released in theatres in December as well. At Worlds End was completed at the beginning of May, right before my month long vacation. I had a great time creating some of the visual effects for the show, so be sure and stay in the theatre when the credits roll, to see my name in the Digital Domain compositors section, smack dab in the middle of the screen.
Read on to see where we visiting during our time together!
