So I just realized something interesting. This whole thing is done within a .mousemove(). The mouse move function will stop any existing animation and (re)start a new one. However, When the mouse is moving the animation stops even though the mousemove function has yet to be evoked. The mousemove function is only evoked once the mouse stops which would be acceptable if only the moving mouse didn't stop the animation for no explicit reason.
