I hate midterms.
Instead of working on my midterm paper for Writing for the Arts, I find myself here, blogging about my dreadful procrastination. This is my first quarter at SCAD where I’ve actually had a midterm exam. I’m kind of freaking out because it’s in History of Literary Criticism which is a subject that I simply don’t… Continue reading

My thoughts on the subject
I’ve been talking with quite a few people lately about “Where the Wild Things Are,” and I have drawn a conclusion. I’ve found that people who’d never read the book as a child, or had it read to them as the case may be, have trouble reading it for the first time as adults. They… Continue reading

Hello again, Augusten.
For the past few weeks I’ve been happily reading “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” by David Wroblewski. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve actually checked out a book from the library. The book is about 550 pages long, and I got about half way through, when the due date came up.… Continue reading

Commercial Parodies
I’ve started off with a fairly basic SNL lesson that should be a review for most of you. Chris Farley’s Motivational Speaker clip from 1993 is a classic and should serve as a warm-up exercise. Now I’m going to shift gears to a different segment of the course entitled: Lesson 2: Commercial Parodies “HiberNol” Season… Continue reading

SNL 101
Saturday Night Live is dying. It’s dying a slow, horrible death and we all know it. We watch it for Andy Samberg’s digital shorts, that’s it. That is why I’m introducing a new segment on this blog entitled SNL 101. This is where I will post videos of old Saturday Night Live segments that I… Continue reading

I have a crush on Woody Harrelson.
From “Natural Born Killers” to “No Country for Old Men” to his newest, “Zombieland,” he always plays a total badass with no remorse. But at the same time, he has a soft sensitive side that he doesn’t let people see that often. Sorry for getting all school-girl mushy on you guys, but you have to… Continue reading

Star Trek
Finally got around to seeing the new “Star Trek” movie tonight. I’m not a huge science fiction person, so a lot of it was over my head, but I still enjoyed it. What I thought was really weird was seeing Eric Bana play the bad guy when I had just seen him play a softy… Continue reading

What I’m listening to
I’ve been working on this painting of my aunt and her fiance Barry for about four months now. Their wedding is on November 1, and I need to have it done by at least mid-October for it to be dry enough to mail to Baltimore in time. So I’ve been painting here and there (photos… Continue reading

Sunshine Cleaning
If you want to laugh, cry and be thoroughly grossed out all in the space of 91 minutes, “Sunshine Cleaning” is the movie for you. It’s a very realistic slice-of-life kind of film that takes place in Albuquerque, N.M. The houses they have to clean are decorated in ‘70s fashions, are depressing, smell awful, and… Continue reading
