I just snowed, I suspect, over a foot. It started last night around dinner and is still going strong. There are no cars and all the human traffic is walking in the streets because the sidewalks are impassable. It’s so lovely! I had an excellent walk this morning.

I bought this taco mix from Trader Joe’s for 79 cents. I used half of it today to make 2 meals. You have to add tomato sauce, which I thought was weird. Basically, I just think it’s adorable (and cheaper than that other kind of taco mix).

Mmm. My wonderful cousin Trina gave me the ingredients for her favorite chili recipe for Christmas and I finally made it. I’d tell you what’s in it, but I suspect most people besides myself already knew what goes in chili. It’s was phenomenal though. I ate it for the entire week. Thanks Trina!

This photo series is truly wonderful; a beautiful discourse on contemporary womanhood. I highly recommend all 5 pages.

Ahhhhhh! Someone kill me now. All my life goals have been met. Vanilla Yogurt with Pecan Praline Granola. $5 bucks for all of it, which should last a few days. If I can stop myself from eating it in one sitting, that is. This is so god-like.

Revised to include Gina’s observation.

My SIGGRAPH Student Session on Nuke Essentials went really well. I added comments to the example file I used during the lecture and made it available on the Collective.

Ahhhhhhh! As much as I not so secretly despise this project, I’m pumped as hell that it was just featured on SideFX’s website. It’s freaking on the front page!! I’m also pumped that they feature a before/after of the fire hydrants. Dan’s sim came to comp looking basically as you see it in the OpenGL. So, I really like how the water pillars came out. Happy to see it in the article.
