Jim Henson's Creature Shop made the Ninja Turtles from the live action puppet movie in the early 90s. Cowabunga dude!

They also made the creatures from the live action version of The Flintstones and pretty much every creature from The Never Ending Story (I knew they made Falcor, but I wasn't too sure about the others).

One of my friends from school who had an interest in writing since early childhood got published in a magazine. She was much older than me and was always reading books (she was able to complete the entire Harry Potter series in a ridiculously short amount of time;which is very impressive if you ask me because those are LOOOONG books). But anyway, I'm SO proud of her for finally getting her amazing work published. I have a collection of her poetry in my drawer that I read whenever I feel down because it reminds me of how much I respect and admire her (I looked up to this girl like a sister when I was a kid). I wish her the best of luck and hope she becomes a full time fantasy writer in the future. If she puts her mind to it:this girl has the potential to create the next Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Narnia.

I finally learned why my camera makes an audible "whirring" sound when it's recording (and thus ends up recording the sound it makes as well): auto focus. The "whirring" sound it the camera automatically adjust its focus as it films . . . gonna have to adjust to using manual instead (hey, manual exposure is better than auto exposure, so surely manual focus has to be better than auto focus as well).
