I felt a bit better today so worked on some essays and then I went into University in the afternoon I thought I was having a lecture with Tim Searle of Baby cow animation but turned out that wasn't happening until 4 but no one in the third year knew about this except for Kadei. God I was so angry after that how angry you want to know how Angry I WAS ANGRY WITH EVERYONE KIND OF LIKE CHARLIE BROOKER IN THIS VIDEO!!!!! ARRGGGGHHHH!!!

I eventually calmed down after my parents found a Sketchpad in the garage I did as a Kid full of all these characters I drew when I was a Kid and I didn't even know existed :/ Still It was awesome I now have a great back catalogue of Characters that Im Intent on reusing :D

Saturday the 3rd of March 2012

Didn't really do any work this weekend Naughty boy >:( the reason to that is because I was In Birmingham with my Dad and we were moving stuff about at his parents house there were having the electrician in see and my Granddad buys alot of stuff that he doesn't need :/ some of It is still in Its packaging. Here is a picture of me with some puppets who look just look like my Grandparents.

Sunday the 4th of March 2012

Because my grandparents live near the Airport they have triple glazed windows so that way we couldn't hear the planes taking off at night and me and my dad were Roasting in a small Bed room and I woke up dazed and confused in Birmingham. We were going to go home at Lunch but Nan was going to give us  a Sunday roast which was good but It took her 2 years to make It :/ (thats me being sarcastic). So we returned home at 4.50 this week Im going to get scene 4 done and get rid of this blasted cold!

For those of you who remembered last weeks Blog entry http://tomsbrainsblog.blogspot.com/ I was going to colour In a picture of Tom-Man and Jerry and I did :D quite alot of people liked It....

    

And now to play us out Its the Chip tune Musician Zabutom with one of his many tunes Zeta Force Level X (when I listen to this tune I imagine that Im attending a Business meeting ON PLUTO!!!)
