I said I wasn't going to do it again, I tried to get out, but they just keep dragging me back in.

Last year we had the largest team, and turned out a piece of work so strong I scarcely believe even now it could have been done in only 48 hours, but it did, and I was there. It was a piece strong enough that this year, we are refered to as "that professional team". I don't know wether to be flattered or insluted. We had over 50 on the team and only three had ever seen a real movie set before. So at that rate we're what 7% professional? At only 7% professional, calling us professional sounds like a dismissel, worse it sounds like sour grapes. I don't know what the deal is, we didn't win best over all, we didn't even take home the most awards.

At any rate, we are not that team anymore. We are half the team we used to be infact. Even though I have been dragged back kicking and screaming, it was on my terms. I am not going to hold the microphone this year. Last year I did a really lously job, so lously infact that we haven't even found the microphone yet. When last I saw it, it was on its way to the post house where they were going to re-record all of the sound I had recorded. (If that isn't bad, what is?)

This year, I am going to help Mark and team write, act if Ike has a place for me, and I suppose help Cameron out with the Art department. I can move stuff. I know what stuff looks like. Maybe this year will be fun. Last year was rewarding, but not so fun for me. Although it is always a pleasure being killed by Ike and Cameron. Its almost tradition.

Don't think I was going to be completely uninvolved. Oh no, I got a major boost in hits when I reviewed the shorts shown these past three years. I was going to review my butt off. Oderint Dum Metuant
