oh class....

Okay, so I would have made a video post but I am sitting here listening to this guy give a tutorial on how to use this computer program. What also stinks is that I do not pick up internet in this room (I am currently typing this in a word document).
It is pointless for me to be here because

1) I can’t download the program because my computer is dying
2) I wont use this in studio for my next project
3) The instructor could easily be replaced by the online tutorial that I would have to go back and use if I ever did decide to use this
4) As students we can only get the demo version that doesn’t allow use to do half of the stuff he is showing us.

Enough of the grumpiness over my studio, I’ll share some happier new! This weekend is our Fall Retreat! Over 350 students are coming. DTM’s dad (Randy Newman) is going to be speaking, we will have worship & the servant team will be performing the Everything skit. At one point in the skit Josh throws me to the ground, and from everyone’s reactions during practice it apparently looks pretty real (don’t worry, I don’t get hurt).

Very random, but I havn’t been able to sleep the past couple of days. I wake up every half-hour or hour & basically am only half asleep when I am dreaming. I have no idea why, I’m not sick or stressed out….very strange. Last night was one of my better nights, only woke up a couple of times, and that was thanks to this little cricket that has decided to take up residency in our home. He likes to chirp & chirp & chirp. I love crickets, when they are outside…not in my room.

So since I can’t get internet I am watching The Little Mermaid with captions and the volume muted. Its funny because I can actually still hear all the music & words in my head perfectly. Every time I watch Disney movies I pick up on new things (especially with the captions on). And sometimes I question things…like how wrong is it that Sebastian watches all the fish being cut to pieces and served for dinner? Disturbing. Also, Disney likes to have people fall in love within 3 days. Seriously, Ariel & Eric didn’t even spend a whole three says together…let alone have a conversation. Cinderella: one dance, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White: a chance encounter in the forest & a kiss. Belle & the Beast actually spend a good deal of time together (at least a season together!).

Here is a trivia question: what name does Ursella

Yes…I am still rambling. That is because this guy is still talking. And now I will stop and watch more of The Little Mermaid

Cheers

  1. I just want to say that I find it very amusing that DTM's dad is called Randy Newman. Randy Newman has made my film experiences memorable.

    Also, i don't understand the trivia question :S

    And I love crickets too. (and by crickets I mean cricket)

    And have a fantastic fall retreat darling!

    Much love xox
