Church's is good. It's cheaper and dirtier than Popeye's. There are definitely times when I'm specifically in a Church's mood. Honey Butter biscuits, that flaky crust on the chicken, and some jalapeno bombers.
Usually they only open up in the poorest parts of town, at least the ones in Mississippi do.
(you actually see most people into that kinda thing in the Sequential Art dept., not Animation :P ...even then, there don't seem to be too many of 'em at all, heh)
Here's a link to the current course of study for an Animootion student. Here are some course descriptions, too (and note that some of these are required courses, and many others are just animation electives, which you can take a few of, as well). While you can take courses in 2D and/or 3D animation, if I recall correctly...I think I remember hearing that the department focuses a bit more on 3D than on 2D (which, IMHO, it probably should). I think Animation is one of the largest departments at SCAD if you look at enrollment, and I've heard it's a really good program. I also know that quite a few of the Animation alumni go on to do sveet things at sveet companies. I figure that in order for that to happen, too, the program's got to be pretty good.
I have a few friends in animation, if you'd like me to ask 'em any specific questions for ya! I personally don't know a hell of a lot, but I assume that the professors in that department are just as fantastic as the professors I've had in the 4 different departments I've taken classes in (Illustration, Game Design, Sequential Art, Foundations).
Maximas, if you go to SCAD, you're going to need to get shot at a whole lot more to pay it off.
Unless you got ~80K to put into it.
Well the GI Bill will cover a lot of that. Unfortunately the rate for Georgia isn't as high as like New York so I'm more likely to go to SVA as it'll be 100% paid for. But I'm not worried about money so much, I have no qualms about taking out student loans.
ND, I'm much more interested in 2D animation than 3D. I know it's a broken record for animation students, but ultimately my goal is to start my own animation studio and make full length films from there. This is a goal that most animators don't realize, I'm sure you know, but I kind of feel like after two combat deployments I can kind of do anything. :P
Cake, I was heavily debating for a long time between going for illustration or animation. Ultimately I'm going with animation, because essentially I'll still be drawing a lot and creating art regardless. Had I decided on strictly doing illustration, I would heavily consider Watts.

So if you serve you get most if not all your education paid for? That's a pretty good deal, I know getting shot at is a pretty shit deal, but I don't think our returning guys are getting much more than a pat on the ass and a visit to the shrink for PTSD therapy.
The NEW (Post 9/11) GI Bill is actually really awesome. The Montgomery GI Bill is kind of failsauce. Anyone who served at least 3 years of active duty after 9/11 qualifies for the new one. It pays based on the highest state school for that given state, and even gives you a housing allowance to live off of while you attend.
Edit:
And no I don't think it would pay for Watts, I think a requirement is that you work toward a degree or certificate of some kind...

I have a kitty, though he doesn't pat me on the head, he prefers the soothing ritual of gouging tracks of skin from my arm. It's a thing we have together.
The worst part is, we left him on the farm owned by the guy my mum was going out with when we went to visit, and since they broke up after we left I'll never know what happened to him.
I forgot to mention she also gets called Eviltrude.
She was a stray and was taken in by some crazy old lady with lots of other cats but 'Trude does not get on with other cats AT ALL, so she was passed onto a friend of ours, who ended up giving her to my wife and I.
Even though she is evil and has most of her teeth missing, she's a lovely cat and frequently makes me laugh at her wacky antics.
Former and Ladder... how does this work? Like if I said, "Thin or fat; I preffer the ladder". Which one does it refer to?
Also, the word Guise, does it have a negative connotation? Like, if I am doing something, but I really have a secret agenda or secondary motives. The dictionary just says "External appearance".
I am coming home in a couple of weeks. Believe it or not, the Marine Corps is actually over-staffed right now so the odds of being re-deployed or "stop-loss" are incredibly low. When I joined, they were really short on people--guys would re-enlist and get up to $90,000 bonuses. Now it's back to the way it was before Iraq, you get like an extra paycheck and some leave for another 4 years.
So as Metal said, my current contract is ending and I will be out of the Marines entirely in May. God that feels good to say...
Sonic: Yes I am! I still need to apply and all that jazz, but I'm still very much looking forward to getting my animation degree at SVA and making teh moviiiiiiiiiiies!
I'm not sure if I've asked before, but what's your MOS?

Former and latter, meaning one the first and the second, or one that came before and one that came after.
"Thin or fat", thin being the former and fat being the latter.
"The Bush administration and the Obama adminstration had different views on taxes - the former lowering and the latter raising them."
"Guise" has a connotation sometimes of not being the true appearance, like a disguise, although that's not technically correct. That's why we have the word "disguise".
But you would say "He came in under the guise of being technically savvy" which suggests that he isn't really isn't savvy at all, it was just the front he was putting up. Because of that, the "two-facedness" of it gives it the stigma.

Also, I just had some KFC. Fuckin' worst biscuits in the goddamned world.

I avoid fast food like the plague, though, so...no loss for me

She goes by many names but the most frequently used one at the moment is Groogins.
which is rather sociopathic indeed

To be honest though, I really don't know anything about David Lynch.

I am insulted.
My cat charges her lasers, and when not preoccupied with this, sits around as a lazy little pile.
Aso, MT, it's not really that hard. You just use the rungs, y'know?
