A "toon" renderer makes shading look 2D, but doesn't offer this animation technique.kurtwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126470936272556396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-56150357417865064112013-01-31T23:57:28.909-08:002013-01-31T23:57:28.909-08:00Kelly: Many thanks!!!!!!

The raw egg yolk makes me hesitate, but I think I'll try it!<br /><br />Roberto: I don't have any computer advice, but I have noticed that most machines that users say are on the fritz are actually okay.

It's such a simple dish with so much room for variation; if you just throw something together hastily you can end up feeling like you gypped yourself. I've neglected salads in the past for this reason, other than <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUPWreQUsfk" rel="nofollow">this Classic Spinach Salad from Alton Brown</a>. Definitely gonna try these techniques & invest in a salad spinner.<br /><br />Also, <i>Paperman</i> is interesting. I read the Wikipedia synopsis of the technique and it sounds kinda like rotoscoping on top of 3D amination, rather than live-action footage. Is there more to it than that?ardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761921583798323391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-50881847545166427182013-01-31T06:14:52.364-08:002013-01-31T06:14:52.364-08:00As for the Paperman film, I really enjoyed the eff...As for the Paperman film, I really enjoyed the effects close to the end where the paper planes start following the guy around. The animation is terrific there, but it's usual stock Disney designs and expressions, so on that front, it's not that innovative. If I had a budget like that and could make such a film, I'd break away from tradition and make an adult cartoon short and make it cartoony at the same time, inspired by the comedy shows on FX. I was watching a show called Legit with the comedian Jim Jeffries on TV the other day and it was absolutely hilarious and clever at the same time. Louie is the same way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166618601866526009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-22995555693870383412013-01-31T05:57:37.379-08:002013-01-31T05:57:37.379-08:00Eddie, I've finally moved into the apartment I...Eddie, I've finally moved into the apartment I told you about and it's actually been a good experience so far. It's not what I'd imagine it would be at all. The rooms are in really good condition and I'm not freezing to death like in the house I lived in before. Also, not many people are usually outside and if they are, they are going to work or school.<br /><br />I'm also getting a new laptop today, most likely an HP G6 or something like that. In a few months, I will have to move again as I've said before and I didn't comment on your other post because I didn't have Internet for a few days. Hope all is well. Do you have any advice on how I can make my laptop last longer than two years and not have the battery overheat?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166618601866526009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-74013992018325843532013-01-30T09:57:17.628-08:002013-01-30T09:57:17.628-08:00I am willing to share my dad's famous "ca...I am willing to share my dad's famous "caesar" salad dressing, that he learned to make tableside while serving at a high end steakhouse in Palm Springs, back ni it's hey-day.<br /><br />In your container, mix: <br /><br />~1 or 2 minced garlic cloves (I use a garlic press for this)<br />~1 tablespoon good dijon mustard<br />~The juice of half a lemon<br />~two or three splashes worcestershire sauce<br />~optional ingredients: 1 raw egg yolk and/or a few anchovies.<br /><br />slowly drizzle in about 1/2 cup of olive oil, whisking/stirring briskly.<br /><br />Pour over washed and dried, chilled romaine lettuce. Top with generous amount of grated parmesean and black pepper. It's best to chill your salad bowl beforehand as well. Love the tip to rub the bowl with a garlic clove, thank you!Kelly Toonnoreply@blogger.com
