for a guy that's lactose intolerant, i sure do eat/drink alot of dairy products. tonight's dinner consisted of two bowls of cereal and one of ice cream. i'm about to sleep soon, so i won't be conscious for the side effects. i'm sure my roommate will let me know if he's up all night because of the fumes.

clone high usa just premiered on mtv. i've been anticipating the show since my old animation professor wrote about it in his periodic newsletter. about six months ago, he just started sending out mass-mailings to all of his old students, updating us all on what we've been up to since we graduated. a handful of his more passionate animators have continued to produce work-- as evidenced by clone high, conceived and directed by two '97 alums. others are doing other "creative" things, while a huge chunk of students seem to have gone to law school. will i join that group? we'll see in a few months.

anyways, clone high was good... i'm not a huge fan of that thick-outlined style of animation (think powerpuff girls, dexter's lab., and samurai jack), but the dialogue is smart and funny. i really like the premise: a secret government agency clones a bunch of historic figures (abe lincoln, joan of arc, gandhi, genghis khan, etc.) and they're all the same age and attending high school together.

anyways, catch it if you can. mtv. mondays at 10:30pm. check tvguide.com for all the reruns.
