Currently I’m in Ireland. In case you didn’t know: Ireland has castles,
really quality advertising,
and miniature horses that go to town on each other.
I don’t have easy access to internet so I’ll leave you with that last image. You’re welcome.
Brittany!

Assorted Thoughts Greg Had, Listed...
2:01 a.m. Oh, God, I don’t want to get up yet. I can sleep until 3…
2:32 a.m. Ugh, stupid snooze button. I’m sick of this. I’ll just get out of bed at 3 a.m.
3:29 a.m. …CRAP!
4:31 a.m. OK. OK. You’re only half an hour behind schedule. You’ll be fine.
4:49 a.m. IT IS 5 A.M. ON A HOLIDAY! WHY IS TRAFFIC NOT MOVING?!
4:58 a.m. Phew. Thank goodness that worked. Here’s hoping I never...

WatchLast Thursday Andrew posted about storyboarding and it’s importance in animation. His two minute clip, Agent A, gave you a brief look into storyboarding. (I’m not very tech-savy and can’t figure out how to post the original clip with a link here sooo if someone else would like to, that would be fabtastic.)
You loyal gallaghr followers already know it’s not a secret that...

Monologue: Transcript of the Testimonial I Gave...
*tap tap*
Hello. Um, I’m Greg…
(“Hiiiiii Greg.”)
…And it’s been seventeen days since I last yelled at an inanimate object.
(Clapping and occasional exclamations of “Yeah!” and “You go!”)
Thank you. I feel good, you know? It’s liberating to accept that I have this problem, and that I cannot restore myself to sanity alone. You know, that I need help to see that the printer isn’t really out to get...

WatchStoryboarding is an important part of animating. It allows the artists to lay out the entire project and see what works and what doesn’t before investing long hours animating. Here’s a sample from the upcoming summer blockbuster “Agent A vs Dr. Ninja”!

Who? Let the people know who you be
What? What do you do? Or, what do you want to...

A little less then a month ago I got roped into playing in the pit for Five Towns musical, “Something Funny Happened On The Way To The Forum”.
This week is hell week.
So needless to say I’m quite busy and quite tired. Hence - no prep for this weeks post.

That is all.

So You Want To Raise Money for a Good Cause…
OK. I’ll admit from the get-go that I have a problem. This late-night post suffers from a serious writing condition that flares up in my work every once in a while. So, sorry, but tonight I’ve got a terrible case of the HERPs (Hastily and Erratically wRitten Passages).
What?
Anyway, please bear with me. I don’t want to break my posting streak.

Recently, two of the Gallagher siblings have...

Brilliant Idea #2: MAN TIME
The war of 1812 was fought in 1812. Never has there been a war so boring that the participants could not think of a better way to describe it than the date itself. However, many historians forget that one great thing was invented during that war: Military Time!
During the war of 1812, soldiers on each side would lay down their arms and meet for mid-day tea. During tea they would debate over what...

Schrödinger's cat
A few days ago I was watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory on my laptop. It’s one of my top favorite shows right now. It’s witty and comical with a more sophisticated sense of humor.
I’ve gotten into the habit of looking things up when I don’t know what they are. Let me elaborate.
If, let’s say, I’m watching a TV show or a movie and a character makes...

How to Tie a Bowtie in Just 39 Easy Steps
Recently, a number of people have asked me to teach them to tie a bowtie. I’ve never understood the stigma that surrounds this accessory. Putting on a bowtie is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. For convenience, I’ve decided to post the simple steps I follow to tie my own bowtie.
Drape the tie around your neck, with one end hanging approximately three inches longer than the other.

WatchNo-shave November is a time honored tradition I do not normally take part in. But thanks to science I was able to predict what I would look like this month if I did participate!

charity: water
Check this out:
I know money isn’t exactly in excess for most (hello student loans!) but I think we can all agree that everyone deserves clean water.
I’ve started a small campaign to try to raise money for this charity. With the holiday season coming up and we all go out to buy gifts, maybe consider setting aside a couple of bucks for this? Take $5 bucks you would...
