I'm sure that I'm forgetting something that I love and just can't think of. It's 3am and I can't sleep. I figured I'd put up a quick post.

So, to answer Ben's questions..

"Do you watch many?"
I do go on binges of watching silent shorts and animated shorts. I don't want anything to do with contemporary art house film school type shorts.

Do you have any favorites?
Yup. See above.

How do you hear about them?
Same way I've heard about any film; reading and/or talking with others. Like I wrote above, though, I'm not very interested in contemporary shorts. I've tried watching those Wolphin DVDs I borrowed from you and I keep finding excuses not to watch them. Like, I need to watch another episode of Dexter. Speaking of Dexter, I need to go watch another episode of Dexter.
