Don't touch the head, don't throw the head... basically, don't do anything with the head.

Today's assignment was to take a green screen video Mr. Connor had recorded and edit it in iMovie so it would have a background and sound effects.

*sighs* I weep for the head that broke that vase.

What is Saint Patrick's Day?

Saint Patrick's Day (or the Feast of Saint Patrick) is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated annually on March 17th, the death date of the most commonly-recognized patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. It is observed by the Catholic Church as one of the 40 days of Lent, by the Anglican Communion, the Church of Ireland, the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, as well as celebrating the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Class Assignment

Background Music: Vitamin String Quartet performs 'This is Halloween'

Thursday, February 6, 2014

"If you could meet any famous person, dead or alive, who would it be, and why?"




Readers, Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla, readers.

Nikola Tesla is the guy who invented the alternating current (aka electricity, the thing that powers your microwaves so you can have Hot Pockets and instant coffee for breakfast every morning). The reason I'd like to meet him: he's my favorite scientist of all time. Cheated out of a fortune by Thomas Edison, he continues to be one of the most famous scientists to date. (And yes, he is the guy who invented the Tesla Coil.)

Not to mention he's extremely aesthetically pleasing, but that's for another post. //nervous laughter;

Class assignment: Who's your favourite superhero?

To be honest... he is.
He was the first thing I honestly recognised as a hero. A flawed hero, yes, but a hero nonetheless.

Today's assignment - A place you would like to visit or live

Personally, I'd love to live in Aspendell, CA.

It's in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and one of the reasons I'd love to live there is because of Lake Sabrina, which isn't too far from the small village itself. It's incredibly scenic, and the California Department of Fish and Game stocks the lake and intake regularly. (Good fishing spot, to be sure.)

I'm halfway through my senior year of high school, and my only thoughts are, "Only one more semester until I get to say my stupid speech at graduation..." Which would happen to be: "I DID MY WAITING, TWELVE YEARS OF IT, IN HIGH SCHOOL." More like the education system, but you get the idea.

So, uh, yeah. Picture of me that I edited a while back in 2013.

One Random Post

Welcome to my dorky site. My computer teacher told us to create our own account as part of an assignment even though I already run my own blog elsewhere... |D So yeah, you can ignore this blog. There's nothing interesting on it.
