My sweet, funny, brilliant Englishman flew across the pond to take me to a gorgeous bayfront B&B in St Augustine & then propose by the fountain outside of the Casa Monica! He then took me to celebrate at our favorite restaurant, The Tasting Room for tapas, champagne & a 1927 solera, followed by jazz and yummy ports at Stogies cigar bar. I posted some of the pics to flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maiya/sets/72157619665081098/

I was planning a "come & meet my Englishman" pot-luck style gathering at the new pad for this evening, but now it's a come meet my fiancee party. Follow the link for details & message me for directions.

I had the pleasure of watching all 49 entries with Matt Kelland for the first round of judging. I didn't envy him having to pick just 3 winners, but these 3 definitely found ways to pull off amazing animation effects using the Moviestorm software!
I personally found these pieces very inspiring for new ways to incorporate Moviestorm as an effective story-telling tool for Fas Ferox and am looking forward to exploring this cutting-edge medium further.

See the Moviestorm blog for links and full details: http://www.moviestormblog.com/

Winner: The Exit
by Matthew Tyas is a marvellous piece with an ending that takes real
skill to pull off. This was only Matthew’s second published Moviestorm
film, and it’s extremely impressive.

Runner-up: Clockwork
is another masterpiece from iceaxe. The visual imagery is stunning in
this well-told and stylish story in the vein of Clockwork Orange, 1984,
and Ian McKellen’s take on Richard III.




Runner-up: Control Point
by mellowhardy is a strange little tale set at an army checkpoint, very
reminiscent of some of the BBC shorts of the 1970s and 1980s. The story
is beautifully acted, and the camerawork is first-rate. This is
mellowhardy’s second published Moviestorm film.

11 years ago today, my midwife pronounced that my pushes weren't amounting to much because my daughter's head was stuck on my cervix. I SO wished I hadn't insisted on all natural birthing and gone for the drugs at that point! But in the end, you realize what a miracle truly is...

Happy birthday Brenna Shae "little raven of the fairy palace". You are the fire of my very soul...

14 years ago, from Tuesday the 7th, the very same midwife that delivered my daughter yelled at me for pushing so hard that my son shot out landing on the bed before she had a chance to catch him! I thank the universe daily that such a noble, compassionate, intelligent and loving being chose me to be his mum! ♥

For Darien's birthday breakfast, I made his fave cheesy scrambled eggs and good bacon, from the food festival we'd gone to a couple days prior. Gifts were opened. Later, we celebrated his b-day dinner out at Hakka's. Where it was OMG! Doing the just bring us food thing at Hakka was the best birthday dinner for Darien ever! Best Chinese food we'd ever eaten hands down!
