			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>christmas 2009 seemed shorter and less like christmas this year than in the past.  maybe it was because i felt like i was doing so much as soon as thanksgiving ended until christmas or maybe it was that i didn&#8217;t start my traditional christmas music until after our christmas musical, but it was different than past years.  we&#8217;ll see how christmas goes next year.</p>

<p>i am planning on seeing <em>avatar</em> tomorrow with some pals.  i caught this clip on the fox movie channel about the making of the movie.  it is actually ironic, i think, that the plot of the movie involves an avatar and the making of the characters as avatars was very similar to the same approach.  watch the video below to see how the cg animation is a direct modeling of the actors&#8217; actual acting.</p>
