Chris: Going to Akita this weekend. Don't know what I'll see but I know I'll see something cool.
Chris: Just relaxing at home right now. Waiting for housekeeping to call and come in and clean the place. It's so awkward to be here when they clean, I feel like a slob.
Chris: Gonna slow down the posts a bit. Allison thinks it's getting out of control. I think I agree.
Allison: oops. I guess you didn't get that email they sent us warning us they were bumping Rogers accountholders to Flickr "Regular". Hmmm.. perhaps you should be mad at me for not forwarding. :-(
Chris: I'm super pissed at Rogers and Flikr right now.
Chris: is sticking around the house today working on computer stuff and book stuff. Yup I'm in Japan and I'm wasting a day. I feel guilty.
Chris: I've just added more blogs to see instead of the last 10 blogs you'll now see the last 15. I do this because I've been updating like a mad man and I don't want anybody to miss out.
Chris: Just hanging out today working a few things as well as going to take my new lense our for a test drive.
Chris: Everything seems to be back up and running.
Chris: It appears the folks that run this blog site are having some technical issues so that means I have to slow down the updates for now. I have a bunch to do so when it's up and running again I'll be sure post them up.
Allison: Nope, not true. I readjusted the air conditioning in my office again to make it cooler. I was feeling rather hot and sweaty after the subway ride this morning. It was unbelievably hot in the station. That is all I have to report. Oh, and lunch was yummy.
Chris: She has lots to say, she's just shy.
Allison: I have nothing interesting to blog about. I'm at work. I figured out how to readjust the air conditioning in my office today. Just in time because it's been pretty cold in here and today I'm wearing a sleeveless blouse. Nothing fun like "limp" cars or blue monkeys in here. Sigh.
Chris: Fair enough, but I have to not only devise a plan, but also a truckload of courage.
Allison: oops - squat-and-drop. :-) And report on the experience in the blog.
Allison: HA!! I double-dog dare you to go #2 in one of the squt-and-drops here!!!!
Chris: I got sick of using regular toilets.
Melissa: Whoa! You're living in Japan! May I ask why?
Chris: Hey everybody! To celebrate my being in Japan I've decided to start another 24 hour segment of ask me anything. So ask me any question you want (about Japan or not) and I'll answer it. I may not answer it correctly but I'll answer.
Chris: Going to go check out the locals wish me luck.
Chris: So this is the way the blog will work. I'll be posting stuff here and on the candy critic blog fairly regularly. Sometimes I'll post the same blog on both, other times I won't. If it's food related you'll more than likely find it on the candy critic blog, other stuff will be here. Enjoy it while I'm still able to function and I start to cower in a corner.
Chris: Not stressed anymore, thanks to Allison and some good old fashion neighbourly folks.
Chris: I'm stressed out right now... I'll talk about it more later.
Chris: Caught a mouse last night, it wasn't pretty. I wish I could train mice to live with me and just eat certain things, then we could all get along.
Chris: Stupid birds, kept me up all morning.
Chris: Gonna try something with my hair this weekend.
Chris: Craving deep fried foods lately, does that mean anything?
Chris: Stupid flickr! It would appear that for no reason they're going to shrink my account down in photos. This means little to most except for old post that have flickr photos in them. I may try and fix them, however it'll take a while and it's not really a huge priority to me right at this moment. If you come across a blog missing its pictures let me know and I'll fix it ASAP. And if I can't fix it I'll recreate the blog with new more wacky pictures.
Chris: Is sitting on something, and it's not on my chair.
Chris: I'm thinking about doing a regular segment with questions. Maybe once a month or something.
Chris: In containers probably Ben and Jerry's. In shops it's either from a truck or Baskin Robins.
Melissa: What is your favorite brand of ice cream?
Chris: Hmmmm, For you Melissa, sure, what's your question?
Melissa: What if I want to ask one here?
Chris: I'm answering questions on facebook, if you got one, just ask.
Chris: The dentist went well, and horribly all at the same time. Might need my wisdom teeth out soon.
Chris: Off to the dentist for some serious work. For those that figured being the Candy Critic was all fun and games I invite you to my dentists this afternoon.
Chris: Spring cleaning is in the air. If anybody wants some crap I might be throwing out let me know and I'll send it to you.
Chris: It's hotdog day!!!
Chris: Just a note to let anyone reading this know that tomorrow is Hot Dog Day.
Chris: Strange things are happening today.
Chris: Just had an adrenaline rush trying to sign up for summer school (the server went down minutes before registration was to start). I'm starting to burn down now and that's not good. I still have a busy day ahead of me.
Chris: Still cleaning up after the storm... and years of neglect. We're thinking of painting our shed (not the one that blew over) any colour ideas?
Chris: My tummy hurts, I need some relaxation time.
Jeramon: Chris: congrats from a fellow JOW winner. Like your droll humor, reminds me of your fellow Canadian, Rick Moranis.
Chris: Last exam today. Nervous because it's my major and messing that up is just pathetic. Excited because after this I have a few weeks off to work on photo things as well as candy things.
Chris: Thanks for visiting. Just to let you all know that I'm celebrating earth day today by not touching a single on or off switch all day. I just left all the switches on since last night. Happy Earth Day to all.
THESS: JUST VISITING. CONGRATS FOR THE WINNING JOTW
Chris: Thanks Zima, congrats to you too. The best part about winning JOTW (or Journal of the Week) is that since I’ve won Allison is going to get me an ice cream cake from Baskin Robins to celebrate.
Zima: Congrats for winning the JOTW. I'm one of the two by the way. Visting you here to congratulate s you!
Chris: eek

Andy Knight

  • How pissed am I: sad today
  • People I hate today: no one right now
  • Are kittens cute? nope
  • What do I want to eat? I'm not hungry

I was going to write a blog all about our fun filled trip to Yellowknife but sometimes more important things come to light.

Today I heard that my friend, mentor, and former boss Andy Knight has passed away.  It came as a complete shock to me.  I remember working at Red Rover with him and always wondering what crazy adventure we would go on next.  It could be a day out pitching shows to network executives or a run to a game store to buy a foosball table.  For a while I wore the title “Andy Wrangler” because I worked with him so closely while at the studio.  I’m very proud and happy to have known a great artist, animator, and person for the 5 years that I did.  He taught me to try out ideas and how to build things creatively.

My condolences to his wife and 3 children.

Andy I’ll miss you.

Hi Chris

I found out about Andy's passing this past Friday, and I to was very shocked, but mostly saddened that someone of his great talent has left us so early. I'm most upset for his family and friends.

Andy could do it all..one of the few who could.

I can only imagine what you must be thinking today. E-mail me if you want to talk and get caught up. I'm in PEI now.

Hi Chris; my condolenscences; you guys really were like the odd couple at RR when I did some work there, great fun to see you at work together. Terrible loss, especially for family. I don't have anything but good memories of the guy and nothing but gratitude for his encouragement of my modest efforts on the job; there's probably hundreds or thousands of others thinking the same thing. Take care Chris, take care of yourself, your loves, your likes, your friends and aquaintances and enjoy life while we have it. I hadn't seen him for a few years, but now I miss him too.
