LOL! I had trouble with the long words as well, though ultimately I could
learn to say them. Oddly enough, my first time through, I got a B on the
labwork and failed the course. Second time through, I got an A on the
labwork adn a D on the classroom work.

In the interview I referred to before, he talks about it - I have only
seen pieces of the final film myself. What he said, though, was they had
about 16 hours of material to choose from - he just started and kept on
going. The animators were there watching and getting ideas so they could
animate the genie after the final lines were chosen.
A very nontraditional way for doing animation, at least for Disney. :-)

I don't remember having seen this before. It was apparently created
(mostly?) in POV and they say that it is even hosted on the povray site.
So I'd expect there was an announcement on p.g or p.b.a. Can't find that
however.

I always learn better with hands-on classroom elements. Straight
memorisation is not my forte.

He was over here recently, either that or it was an old programme. I can't
remember who the chat show host was. I don't think it was Jonathan Woss (may he
receive his P45) or I would not have watched it.

I don't know what it was with me and chemistry. I thought that I was good at it
until I went to university. It could have been zoology for all I knew. Or it
could have been the vast quantities of alcohol I consumed.

Now I just need to figure out my excuse, as I didn't really start
drinking alcohol until after I'd left college....

Quiet is good. Unfortunately, on New Year's Eve, we ended up going to
the ER. My wife has had some mysterious medical issue that causes her to
have severe problems with her digestive tract. The doctors have no idea
what it is, but we hadn't seen it in about a year. Until about 10
minutes after midnight, that is.
This time they're saying "bacterial infection", but we've heard that
before.
So NYE wasn't quiet for us, and I had a cold before that, but otherwise
it was pretty quiet.

I know, that's why I said what I said. Freaky, isn't it? ;-)

I've seen those in comics etc but not in RL. What sort of candy are they?

Bummer! Seeing the New Year in, in A&E (as we call it here). I hope that she
gets better soon.

I picked up a chest infection that was very bad for about three weeks but it is
almost gone now.

They'll be passing those out next year at Andrew's company. I remember
getting candy sticks like that when I was a kid, all different flavors.
The best thing about them is you could get the candy down to a very fine
point...

Especially when it gets needle sharp. Then you have to be careful as to
how you shape it with your tongue.

It usually doesn't last long, but thanks - usually the next day she's
just fine, but eating "easier" foods for a few days. It's just so random
as to when it hits - we can't seem to find a cause, and that's a bit
frustrating.

Yuck. Glad to hear you're almost over it. Got my allergy shot
yesterday, so I'm feeling the effects of that today, but oddly I've been
having that vision problem again. Time to make an appointment, I guess.

Hmm! I hope it doesn't worry her too much.

vision problem? Sorry I can't remember what it was. Tell Dr Stevie, in strictest
confidence of course :P

At least I don't have to explain it or apologise :)

Not too much, if it worried her more, she'd probably be more proactive
about doing more about it. That said, I'm insisting on another doctor's
visit...

Last couple of days, I've just had blurred vision. Not really bad, but
it has been hard to focus on my laptop screen and computer display at
home.

LOL, true, but I think you're buying the first round if we manage to get
over there. ;-)
