It's Geek Pride Day :)

That's right. A day just for geeks where we reserve the right to be as geeky as we want, without consequence. This is really the first time I get to celebrate this day because last last year, I was too busy stressing out about Yearbook crap to remember. Today I wore a Hulk vs Wolverine shirt..but since I usually wear superhero shirt, I brought a comic book to school :). One of the responsibilities of a geek is that they have to specialize in something. Me for example, I'm a comic book geek :D. For anyone who cares at all for comic book movies here's a picture of the Red Skull. I personally, don't like Captain America, however I would watch this movie for two reasons: 1) I was raised on marvel. My mom and my nana conditioned me from the moment I could speak to like comics and comic book characters. So naturally, being the geek that I am will see this whether I like Cap or not. 2) Two words... HUGO WEAVING. No only was he an awesome villain in Transformers as Megatron and the Matrix Trilogy as Agent Smith, he was articulate anti-hero V from V for Vendetta. He hasn't dissapointed me yet and I'm positive he won't now. Also, the movie will likely be good. I didn't have high expectations for Thor and that movie surprised me so I think I'll give Cap a chance.

Reponse to Edward Burtynsky Film

In class, we are now starting on our photography unit and the first thing we had to do was watch a movie on Edward Burtynsky. The reason for this is because the theme of this unit is to go out and take photos in industrial setting and put together a presentation of some sort around it. Edward Burtynsky's photography is about how industrial landscapes can effect surrounding areas. We watched a documentary on his work which included the places he went to shoot his pictures.

Personally, I thought the movie was boring as a whole. I thought it was boring because there didn't seem like there was much going on. Most of the movie was just the context of some of his photography shoots and then the finished products themselves. Because this was all the movie was to me, it made it very hard to pay attention. Imagine, sitting through an hour and a half of the same boring thing. The movie was 90 minutes long so we had break it up between two periods. I will admit however, that two things in that movie did capture my interest for a bit and that was when I was watching how fast the assembly line workers assembled small machinery and when there was a picture that he shot of many many cars that look almost identical lined up in rows. I can explain why that interested me but it did. Maybe it was the weird repetition of grey that sort of captivated me.

Anyway now for the part that all of my regular readers likely enjoy the most. I was watching Sxephil yesterday and as part of a new show that he and other ppl(if I'm not mistaken) do on youtube called Sourcefed, he did a segment on Mike Relm who created audio/video remixes of videos like the Old Spice commercial for example. I looked him up on Youtube soon after and found a Scott Pilgrim vs The World remixed with How Low Can You Go by Ludacris. I thought it was cool so I am now directing it to my reader :). Side note: For those of you who don't know who sxephil is. He has a channel where he just talks about stuff that matter to him like pop culture, current events etc etc. He funny, check him out. Also check out Mike Relm and his other remixes. Enjoy the last of your long weekend and see you next week.

I've been pulling out my hair :P

Last week had been a very busy and very stressful week. The Yearbook deadline was due last friday so needless to say, my head was everywhere. I skipped like 3.5 days of 4th period to work on it and I stayed after school late all week. Friday in particular I stayed until 11 oclock :P. Most things were FTP'd on saturday morning by our other teacher, Ms.Johnson to Scantex ( our yearbook publisher). The only thing left is to tie up any and all loose ends so the entire Yearbook can be sent off to be printed by the end of this week. All in all. It's been a very busy and stressful week but I think we're almost in the clear. Hopefully, assuming nothing goes wrong between now and the YB delivery date, LCI should be seeing their yearbooks on Contact Day June 26th.
