#9425 "My St Nicolas In Belgium..."

I swear that even for a French man it's sometimes harsh to live in Belgium... Not the fact that they don't have a governement for the last 6 months.. I mean we're not in Asia where there can be tanks in the street... no no.. a more serious problem... we sometimes can understand belgium if ur french.. they've got soo many strange says in here.. the most common for us is how they say "Ninety", translated, they're saying Ninety, whereas in french, we are actually sayin "eighty-ten", same for "seventy" which is for us "Sixty-ten", but here, I'm in front of a piece of meat... But I'm not really sure of what it is.. so dunno really how to cook it... hmpf... I swear sometimes it was easier to live in England or Ireland... lol ^^ Anywoo... Something just went wrong with a CG maya file today... He was just supposed to create a small fish, but the FX lead passed behind him and told him "woowwww... that's a big Fish".... the CG "wha????"... the FX lead played a lil bit and created a small 10cm per side square... and said "well, that's ur unit"... "Ur fish is like 8meters long..." lol :) After asking around, it was normal, it was just a rig test.. meaning that the developpers just put the "skeleton" inside the fish and wanted the animator to try it to see if it's moving how it should be.. was just a test.... ^^ Wonderful Life of computers, Martin, a Modelling CG (the one who's creating in 3D the sets and objects) seems to have a computer that is quiet.. strange.. he just can't handle photoshop without knowing what the reason could be... as said Martin to the IT guy "it randomly crashes, oftenly really quickly".. the IT guy "what tool were u using?" Martin : "The eraser"... IT "No more eraser for you..." lol ^^ but the problem seems to be solved now... arffff.. technology... Saw for the first time some "Xmas lites" on tonite... nice.. but without snow.. it's just sooo not the same... guess I won't see much snow this year... too bad... :( I still might need a Xmas tree... wondering if I don't want to buy a small one, in a crock u know.. so that i will then be able to put it on my terrace... will see... Another random thought... I now know how to pronounce "Firefighter" in flamish now... who knows... We started a wonderful collection of phones in the Studio, and we started it under the stairs.. just for "phone" (this sentence has a stupid joke in it.. Be carefull.. and don't feed the joke.. zanks in advance...).. we just changed the phones of all the CGs.... ok... Dunno why... but well... I know the picture isn't clear, but Danièle, one of the secretary in here, brought tons of things for "St Nicolas", a Father Xmas equivalent in east of France & Belgium... this is a stolen snapshot.. don't be like that.. .i'm not that much takin' blurry pictures now.... :p End of the day... after cooking.. just watching an episode of a serie... ..what?? COOKING?? A MAN COOKING?? Yup... but well.. i'm French, meaning I have to grow the Cliché u know.. :p 2mo going back near my Hometown to see a good friend of mine, go to a concert and havin' a good craig as usual!!! :) ---------------- Now playing: Bob Dylan - Nettie Moore
