I'm glad my wisdom teeth removal went off without a hitch yesterday. I only got two removed (top ends) instead of four. The other two were on the bottom ends where the roots were right along the nerves. I must be one of the fortunate ones because the little pain I did have afterwards felt more like soreness and once I started taking my medication I haven't felt ANY pain since! I wouldn't even know I had oral surgery right now.

The downside which is one of the side effects is I have felt a little nauseous from time to time. Oddly, I threw up water this morning. My diet this weekend looks like it's going to consist of Milkshakes, Pudding, Jello, Soup, Grits, and anything else that doesn't evolve much chewing.

Maybe I'm the dumbass here, but I really don't get the point of the whole tornado room thing. I guess I have to take half credit for not knowing because I haven't been trying hard to know what the point of it is.

Today was the first time I actually paid attention to it for more than 2 seconds. I give em credit for wanting to make their Tornado Week entertaining and informative at the same time, but it seems like they're going at it the wrong way. It looks really cheesy and goofy. I can say with 100% certainty TWC couldn't pay me enough money in my contract to do some of the silly things they're doing right now.

I had a dream last night of smooth jazz and 2 minute locals returning imp

Sounds like a weird dream imp.

Then again I can't really talk I have a LOT of weird dreams where I wake up thinking WTH was that all about imp?

Cleaned up a LOT of the animations and revised/added new animations. Also added more narration w/ a completed radar (first rough draft)

-Animations changed to a Foggy text effect on the white titlebars
-Animations on the white titlebars changed to a Slide Swoop
-Added outer glow to the text on the CO page
-Redid the Lens Flare effect and reduced the brightness some the previous video.
-Added a Bullet Train effect to the text on the Weather Bulletin/Local Forecast Screens

-I hope the animation effects on the radar screen isn't overkill. Sometimes I get a little carried away when experimenting.

I ended up going with option A, however I'm still planning on using option B just for a different forecast product.

Animation Test - AE CS6 Since I saved this as an uncompressed AVI file, the raw file couldn't be uploaded because it shot up to a whopping 2.3 GB! So I had to compress it, unfortunately some resolution was lost in the process.

I didn't know this at first, but "Look to the West" by Steve Glotzer is called "Morning Brew" on his gettyimages account. Ironically there is a song on there called Look to the West, but it sounds nothing like what played back in August 2010.
