Update

3 months later, and my world has changed.

Learning Flash stopped being as high a priority for me as I became swamped with other work.  Then, the company I work for was acquired, and our business model changed, so... yeah... not so much on the Flash bandwagon any more.  I still have my own personal copy, and will probably delve into it more later on.  I mean, Lenny the Line does need to be properly resurrected at some point. 

But in the meantime...
I am beginning to prepare myself mentally to begin work on my long awaited animated short.  Last year at this time, I managed to get Princess Superstar (aka Concetta Kirschner) to create a little ditty for me to animate the short to.  I had originally been thinking that I would be learning Flash to make the short  with.  But frankly, the ditty Concetta made is so bad ass, that as soon as I heard it I knew in my gut I needed to break out the full bore 3D skills.

The changes at work have me motivated to get back into 3D animation.  It has been about 3 years since I sat down in earnest and cranked out any animation beyond simple icons or little things.  So... yeah, revving up the motivation machine. 

Need:
HDMI switcher so I can use my old computer with Maya on it
Replacement cable for my headphones ordered so that I can swim in awesome music whilst I work.
aaaaand about 1,000 other little things that will allow me to procrastinate before I get rolling.
