Today I was payed to attend to the Weta Digital Oscar Party, well it could be worse!

The party was set up in a club/restaurant/bar at the Wellington waterfront, so you could either watch
the Oscars on the screen or look at the waves through the window. I preferred the waves over the
Oscars, was never a big fan anyway and it was pretty much clear from the beginning that we wouldn’t
win the VFX-Oscar for the Hobbit anyway. So there was not really a point in watching the show.

As always it was a nice party with free food and drinks and I had some really nice chats with some friends
and co-workers. Only thing that could have been better was the weather, it started to rain at some point
and got really cold. The southerlies are back! Temperature dropped about 10 degrees or so and the wind
was at around 100kph. So after I tried to catch a not so heavy rain period, that turned into heavy rain within a
few minutes walking, I jumped in a taxi even though it would have been just a 20min walk back home. I
prefer not being soaking wet and cold for some reason. Had a good time anyway!
