My demo reel is awesome. And as of 4AM, I can barely even feel the sleep deprivation! I just have to render everything, then PACK like a crazy person, then maybe take a nap on the train to New York. Then take another nap when I get to the hotel. Then sleep that night, after we get back from our show. Then change my name to Rip Van Winkle and sleep a further twenty years.

What is it about me and spending all night in the Animation lab the last day of the school year? Last year, I was in the lab until 1:30. I got two hours of sleep before leaving at 4 for a 6:00 plane flight. And this year, given the amount of stuff that needs to get done, I wonder if I'm going to get any sleep at all. The low-res Internet version (because all must share in the pretty) should finish in a few minutes, then I'll start the 2-hour high-quality render and skip out to find sustenance and do some packing.

Oh, man. The only place open will be the Philly Diner. This will be the first time I've gone there since the shooting at 3AM over the Christmas holidays. Boo, I've worked too hard these past few weeks to die!
