I feel compelled to start this post with another link to another artist. I was with some friends last night and we decided to watch the movie The Strangers. I had the seen the movie before, so there was no element of surprise, but the film was still good. At one point in the film, a song comes on the turntable and it is a woman with a unique voice. I was convinced that it could have been CocoRosie, but to my surprise it wasn’t. Doing some research, I found the name Joanna Newsom and a song called Sprout and Bean. All that being said, here is a link to the song on Youtube. As mentioned above, the voice is unique and it’s a thoroughly enjoyable song.

I usually create a new post on Saturday, but I found myself occupied with simple things all day. It also didn’t help that I didn’t really have much to talk about, and I feel it is still the same way sort of.
Monday starts a new month of classes for me. We get to edit our film that we shot last month for 16mm and for some reason I am dreading it. The footage wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t anything amazing. Simple mistakes were made throughout the production by all and I’d say that it was an incredible learning experience. After this month I have two online classes. I won’t take full advantage of going home for the whole time, but I will be in Tulsa for around three weeks when I do get there. Plans are to leave a day or two after Christmas with some friends and road trip back to Florida so they can hang out and what have you.
Bowling last night was quite enjoyable. When it comes to bowling, I am pretty competitive, especially with myself. I try to tell people that it is like basketball to me, in the sense of aim. As soon as I let go of the bowling ball, I can definitely tell if it is going to be a strike or if it is going to be off. Despite a lot of mistakes, I ended up getting 165 on my first game, which is around average for me. It makes me really like bowling and want to go a lot more often.
