Boy oh boy was I so excited to be somewhat up to date with technology and be able to watch videos all the time on the computer. But no. Basically I’m like the kids in Wet Hot American Summer, “We’d need some kind of super mainframe computer, and we for sure don’t have one of those.” Streaming videos blow. There’s always some Flash ad in the corner taking up all my bandwidth! The timing of jokes and the momentum between them always gets ruined by buffering! Eventually I figured out that if you press Pop Out on Hulu, you can hide the other window and watch more than a frame per second. It seems like it’s a lower-res version too, which should be easier to find.

Anyhow, I wish everybody could go to cartoon camp. We play soccer on Sundays and we draw comics for homework. There are only three bars in town and one is too snooty (but I work at it, which works out well for tips), and another too scary. So there is one bar filled with cartoonists. Even if it wasn’t for it’s Goldilocks just rightness, I think I would love this place. It’s in a basement and it’s named CJ’s. They do turn the lights on pretty bright for a bar though.

In other news, in cartoon studio, the class, we all wrote down an emotion, an animal and a job and then each got one of each. I got ebullient mouse barber. The consensus was that his ears could be rounder, so as to distinguish him from a gerbil or a Guinea pig. Check check:
