I did mean to ask Slomo if he ever felt that he wanted other things in his life, wanted more. Its great to see someone just doing what they want, but I know I'm a complex bag of desires, so I"m not sure just one thing, even a fulfilling thing would be enough.

Orbit was kind of addicting, I could watch a lot more of that.

Try as I might, I could not get the emotions connected to the ink blots.

The shorts are almost always my favorite program of the year.

Another GREAT Award Winning Short Film Night with the Cinema Society. The only problem was deciding among all the 5s which was the best short. Our consensus was ORBIT EVER AFTER.
