Animated short: Alma
Ninja January 19th, 2010
When we arrived in California, it was a warm 72 degrees, and we were all smiles. We left snow and ice on the east coast, so the constant sunshine and warm weather in January was surprising and welcomed. Every once in a while, I would find myself daydreaming about the falling snowflakes and making snowmen (before recalling bad memories of digging my car out from under 2 feet of snow).
For now, I’m satisfied to watch the snow and great storytelling through director Rodrigo Blaas’ first animated short film, Alma.

Magnificent sunsets, friendly people, and In-N-Out Burger. Just when I can’t seem to believe how wonderful California is, things just keep getting better…

My Christmas gift came early this year — I’ve been accepted into Art Center College of Design’s illustration program! And I cannot stop grinning. ^______________________^
I gave my two weeks notice today, and I still have a lot of loose ends to tidy up at work before I can get to packing for my cross-country move. So I will take a pause in blogging on NvP and continue back in the new year on January 17, 2010.
Happy holidays to you and your loved ones and much thanks for your friendship, kind comments, love, and support!
Hugs and peace,
