shoot the pot, spread water on the fire
So... had history of animation midterm today. didn't go tooo well, should've studied a bit more, but while it was only 20 minutes long, and 10 multiple choice questions and 10 short answer (by short answer, it's like, each answer is a name of a movie or person) - so it was short, but there was a lot of info to be remembered.
Then a classmate did a presentation on United States animation during the war, like, propaganda movies... so we saw a few clips, like a popeye clip fighting Japanese people and a clip where Donald Duck had to choose between buying stuff or paying income tax, things like that... it was pretty interesting.
Anyway, afterwards we saw a movie, The King and Mr. Bird - or I saw part of it, and then left afterwards.
I just felt like updating. But anyway, in the animated movie, there's an interesting idea that we should implement in a zelda-like adventure rpg - there should be a picture with a girl holding a vase, on top of a fireplace - and you can shoot the vase (with an arrow or something) and the water would fall out onto the fire, which reveals a secret passage. Neat, eh?
I shouldn't write too many long entries in a row, cuz then I think people would read them less often. So here's a short one.
