Better than Before
Spring 2008: I had already taken Time Studio in AFO here at VCU. My class sucked, no one seemed to come together and work on projects with each other let alone talk as a whole. I didn’t like the class too much. It was an 845-1145, so I decided to sleep in some days bc I never really looked forward to going.
Summer 2008: a whole different story. Unlike before, I actually enjoyed coming to...

brittanyle:
the lipdubs aren’t due tomorrow, are they?
The 3 lipdubs are your final project. I expect to see them on the last day of class. Tomorrow we need to get DVDs burned of what you’ve done so far in the class.
That’s what I thought. I was just double checking to make sure. Sounds good. Thanks
question:
the lipdubs aren’t due tomorrow, are they?
all random thoughts
It feels like it should be Thursday or Friday. It’s only Tuesday. I spent the day stocking frames at Michaels arts and crafts store, where I work. Rant: I don’t work in the frame dpt, therefore I don’t know where any of the frames go…there was another girl working who was on the floor today, stockin shelves, which is usually what I do, yet…I was doing what she...

Lipdub assignment.
tba:
It looks like most of you are picking the lipdub assignment for your final. That’s fine, great and exciting.
Here are the rules.
1. I want 3 from each of you. 2 can be practice runs with different songs. In other words you can use them to get used to doing it. One should be a perfected masterpiece.
2. All 3 lipdubs you make should be different songs. each must be at least a 2 minute...

-Hah. I hate working w you so much. You’re such an idiot. Your head is always so far up your ass that you don’t know what in the hell is going on. I would fire you if I could. You’re such a moron, you’re worthless. I can’t understand why you’re still working here. You suck.

Epiphanies (thoughts on the readings)
Kenneth Goldsmith on the book Silence by John Cage…I found it interesting that he said it could be read as a novel, as concrete poetry, or as a musical score. Joan La Barbara, who recorded Cage’s work, said, “it’s initial impact on me was a shock of recognition its calming effect made me feel that I was not alone in the universe.” I also found it neat that when...

"The Rant"
There’s a local Charlottesville paper that comes out weekly called “The C-ville” and it lists whats going on around Charlottesville, and there’s a section called “The Rant” where callers can call in and rant about anything. Then they’re rants are posted to this page in the C-ville. Here are a few that I found interesting.

Neuroscience of sarcasm - Boing Boing →
(via tba)
I find this really interesting. Every other thing I pretty much say is sarcasm. It’s bad, but I find it humorous. My friend who goes to school with me here doesn’t catch half of it when I use it. Then I tell her, and she’s like ohh, but I’m not quite sure if she really still understands that I was joking. The idea of right and left hemispheres of the mind is interesting as well. This is...
If you're into scary movies, you should see this. →
Some reviews showed this movie as corny and funny. I’m not a huge fan of scary movies but I decided to see this one on Sat with my sister. I’d say it’s one of the more scarier movies I’ve ever seen. The ending is rather confusing, and is set up for a sequel, but then again, it wouldn’t really make sense to have a second movie to me. If you like scary movies, I’d...

FYI
I know that some of you have told me that you can’t see my page when you click on my name, and I can’t see it either. It shows up as a white page. I emailed the help people at Tumblr and they recommended something that I’ve already tried-to fix it. So I thought the easiest way was to create, since we’re not too far into it, this new blog/ an additional blog. I’d like to be able to see my list of...
