Calling all Artists
Isn’t it nice to see some smoothly designed, interactive, flash animation. Well if you think it is, go and see Imagination at Work!

Redesign hell
Rather than go into great depth about how stop/start the process currently is, I’ll pass you over to vodkabird who describes it perfectly (except I use Homesite not DreamWeaver but you get the point I’m sure).

Small step forward last night, think I have the navigation sorted.

And this used to be so easy, christ I’ve been featured in a magazine for my design! Grrr… (and no I can’t find a reference to it…)

Snow
Having just made it in to work, I’m now worried that I might not make it back home again. Especially after some of the tales from down south last week.

That was it?
Alas, the weekend is over. Huge plans which all fell through. Well some plans that fell through. Was one of those days today when you look outside at the blizzard and think “Ya know, I don’t think I want to go out anymore…”, so we didn’t. Read books, magazines, watched TV, and generally lounged about.

Obviously the news over the weekend has dominated, but did anyone else notice how insincere President Bush seemed? Awful. And while I remember… why SHOULD God bless America? (I’ll leave the country versus continent argument alone).

Well back to work tomorrow – unless the trains are off… dammit how do you do that snow dance again?

Chicago

Was mildly sceptical of this, having seen Moulin Rouge and not being that impressed (it was good but not that good). Quite simply this film hits the mark. So much so I’ve ordered the soundtrack.

It is a real hark back to the days of the MGM Musicals, and about time to. Simple enough storyline (girl meets boy, girl cheats on boy with lover, girl shoots lover, girl goes to jail for murder) but some excellently choreographed numbers and top drawer performances by almost every member of the cast lift this movie. Renee Zellwegger was sultry and pouty as Roxie Hart, Catherine Zeta Jones was the epitomy of ‘sassy’, Richard Gere played the self-serving lawyer card perfectly (as he did on Broadway), and even John C. Reilly and Queen Latifah held their own. I queried it’s 13 Oscar nominations before I had seen the film. Now that I’ve viewed it I’m sure it will receive several golden statuettes, and it will deserve every one.
