http://smudgeanimation.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 1, 2014. Animated Thoughts: Festival Season part two: TAIS Summer Anijam. A month after TAAFI, it was time for the Toronto Animated Image Society's annual screening. This time, I was fortunate enough to get one of the rooms that the Novotel holds in reserve for Expedia.com. Fortunate in that Radical Sheep Productions is only one block away from the hotel. Later that evening, I met up with fellow TAIS member and former woman animator interviewee, Janice Schulman,. Shortly after leaving t...

Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Animated Thoughts: Festival Season part three: OIAF 2014. September rolled around, and it was time for my yearly trek to the Ottawa International Animation Festival. As per protocol, I drove to Toronto for the evening so I could do my best to decompress before all the activity of the festival. When I crossed the Blue Water Bridge into Canada, I rolled down the windows and yelled "Freedom! Along with a copy of Laura Hett's collaborative work: Animation Sketchbooks. After a quic...

my bridge blog: Hawaiian Poo-Poos
http://karieandles.blogspot.com/2008/10/hawaiian-poo-poos.html
Friday, October 24, 2008. It’s hard to go wrong with a Friday Happy Hour appetizer that calls for two of the ingredients to be swathed in bacon. I made Hawaiian Poo-Poos for the first time last weekend and must say they’re really good. They’ve got a pleasant balance of savory and sweet, plus a lot of different textures going on. My friend Stevi has an outstanding recipe. On her blog, Good to be Home. At any rate, here's the recipe for Hawaiian Poo-Poos:. 2 8-ounce cans of whole water chestnuts, drained.

my bridge blog: A Lesson On Barware - And Life In General
http://karieandles.blogspot.com/2008/10/lesson-on-barware-and-life-in-general.html
Friday, October 17, 2008. A Lesson On Barware - And Life In General. Friday Happy Hour, my friends, is as much about the barware as it is about the alcohol. Socializing is more enjoyable when you’re sipping from a beautiful glass instead of a long-neck bottle or a Tervis tumbler. So my Friday Happy Hour advice this week is this: Use the good stuff. An empty glass, no matter how pretty it is, is just taking up space. If I Had My Life To Live Over. I would have talked less and listened more. I would have e...

Monday, November 17, 2008. What a cool little way to waste time. I saw this here. At one of my favorite blogs a few days ago and have fiddle-farted around with it several times since. It’s addictive.

http://smudgeanimation.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Animated Thoughts: The Top 25 Animated Features, pt. 4 of 5. Based on a children's book, Leafie. Recouped it's production costs domestically within one month! But where do we see these films legally here in North America (read that: without bittorrenting bootleg copies on the internet)? Now seems like a good time to talk about the Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema. Now, in the words of the late Casey Kasem: on to the countdown. I made a seven hour round trip to the Waterloo Fe...

Smudge Animation: Animated Thoughts: The Top 25 Animated Features, Epilogue
http://smudgeanimation.blogspot.com/2014/07/animated-thoughts-top-25-animated_22.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Animated Thoughts: The Top 25 Animated Features, Epilogue. Here's a couple films that didn't make my list, but I think are worth seeing if you have the chance. They missed my top spots for one reason or another- plot holes, animation that was a little less than stellar, weak dialog, or just personal preference. But that doesn't mean that they aren't worth your time. 1 The Iron Giant. Available in the States. Video-to-go has a copy. 2 Jason and the Argonauts. It's a must-see for bu...
