A little bit calmer...
Things are finally coming together here in San Fran a bit and i am able to relax a bit more... Jack got a job serving tables at a really nice establishment and so we are excited about that... I have been going to interviews like crazy and am starting some freelance work this week... I maybe working at the Apple Mac store which would be awesome because of the benefits that are involved...
I also had a tour of the Academy of Art and good god there facilities are amazing... They have a full com-positing suite dedicated to Green Screen. The Green screen room is twice the size that i am normally used to with superb lighting. They are geared to preparing students for a career (90 percent job placement with companies such as Pixar) and have an amazing Digital Visual Effects Masters Degree and they teach Discreet which is the company that makes Flame, Inferno, and Flint (yah! for real time compositing)!!! I was floored by how big the school is it has 25 buildings in all disperced around San Francisco... I was fortunate to view there show that was up and i have to say i have never seen so much good fine art work coming out of any of the schools i have visited... I am applying for the Fall and i hope that i get in....
Today Jack and I went to Muir beach. It is the first time we have been over the Golden Gate bridge as we mostly use the Bay bridge since we live in Oakland. It was the most beautiful view of the city and rolling hills that i have seen yet. The beach was also just as nice as it sits between a Cliff and a small Mountain. We sunbathed, hunted for rocks, looked at tide pools, and relaxed. It was blue sky's ,cool weather (just perfect for laying out) and not sweating,and Puffy white clouds (as most of the days are here). I think it has rained now a total of 3 days.
