If you ever saw Fugazi live, there's a pretty good chance they've just released the shoe for download for $5. 800 of 'em just went up.

that's a really big shoe.

I also want to see Matthew and Dan's lists for 2011, as my inclinations overlap with theirs less than they do with most of y'all's, so I like to check out a different batch of things worth seeing.

Can't really give you a list.  We have been so busy with all kinds of stuff this year that we didn't really get the time to go see a lot of movies.  And the few movies we saw were either from local film makers or generic kiddy stuff.

tell me what yall think about this

I may add captions later but really I feel like if I have to explain it then it's not very good graphic design.. But i know you have to try to pimp yourself..  Also, I figure I'll get better with Tumblr as I go on with it..  Right now it's plain but that's ok with me.

We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving. I've been cooking everything for the last couple of Thanksgivings, and I did that again this year. A little stressful, but satisfying.

And the Muppet movie was pretty darn good. It got more genuine laughs from me than I thought it would, and C was massively entertained. They did a really good job of matching the tone of the Muppet movies without being slavish. And Amy Adams was basically pitch perfect in a role-of-a-lifetime sort of way. There was a little too much fourth wall breaking for my tastes, and I got tired of Jason Segal by the end too, but those are pretty minor complaints.

Awesomeness.

But the pig god peeing a typhoon makes me uncomfy.   Just putting that out there.

Tripp, those are fine pieces, but you should consider adding a sentence  or so to each, explaining either how it met the client's needs, something about what you were going for, or something technical or interesting about how you did it.

[Tripp]

I know..  I'm just thinking about what to say exactly.. i don't like over-explaining it or being too dry.. 

[Tripp]

I'm gonna spend a couple of hours combing old archives for more design.. Trying to find some stuff that's not so cartoony but I guess it's good to showcase that stuff.

[Bizarro]

You don't have to fully explain any of those.  Just give some nugget of info that implies there is a story for each that ends with "...and it came out just the way it should have because I'm fucking awesome and a total pro."

Looks great, Tripp.  There are a couple of them that might do with some explaining...like zombie Santa.  Is that "Seasons Eatings"?
