I survived the dreaded Nova Kids' Training yesterday. Mostly eight hours of learning how to sing the "Let's Quietly Sit Down in a Circle" song and how to make 12 different games out of memorizing the days of the week. I don't know when my first actual Kids' class is, but I'd bet good money that I've already had one by the time you read this. Nova is not known for its relaxed, leisurely pace.

One cool thing that did happen was that I made the acquaintance of a charming British woman with the unlikely name of Keyah Steele and a sultry accent strongly reminiscent of Diana Rigg. It turns out she's a former theatre major, so I might have found a potential voice actor well ahead of schedule.

(For the perplexed: I've been scripting an animation project for the last year and a half. I'm only a few months away from a final screenplay, at which point I may elect to begin preliminary animation work.)

As mentioned in the previous entry, the apartment of former roomate Chuck has been reassigned, and severely jet-lagged new roommate Simon is now part of the Nova family. Welcome aboard.
