Coffee

Alright, so i have the supreme coffee jitters. And I am just typing here because it is going to be my outlet so I can get all of the coffee out of my fingers so that I will finally be able to get back to my assignment. Hooooolllyyyy shiiit... what to talk about what to talk about... SCHOOL. okay, so my assignment is for my TV as art and literature class. I'm supposed to choose a scene from the show, Twin Peaks and analyze it. Bit by bit by bit. So I chose roughly the first 3 minutes of Season 2 Episode 3.
I never really realized how much goes into one little 3 minute clip. Okay, I always knew that but I never really KNEW it until i had to sit down and write about it. I am already at 2 full pages and I've only done lighting, camera angles, and sound/music. This is insane. What is the weirdest part about this scene is how they do a continuous turn shot around a room and I cannot figure out how they did it. I understand they are at the foot of this bed, but it is so compact I cannot wrap my brain around how they were able to swivel around so smoothly without hitting anything. I wonder if a person was standing there or if someone was controlling it with a remote. I am curious. too lazy to do research. Not willing to see if someone actually put the effort into writing about it and posting it.

Bye now.

Things I learned from 2010

- Books are a vice. I do not rent them. I BUY them.
- I actually am pretty good at giving advice.
- Many people don't like to vent to me because I can argue both sides. Most of them just say, "LET ME BE ANGRY GODDAMNIT."
- I've seen more movies this year than I ever have. Most of them are the types of movies I would not normally go see like action/adventure... Michael Bay BOOM BOOM movies. What I learned from this is that none of these movies will really STAY with time.
- I reeeeally love taking baths. After not having a bathtub for 3+ years, one can forget about how fucking amazing they are.
- Not sleeping for 8 days straight... is really really really painful.
- I am actually a lot better at reading German than I thought.
- Sitting down and reading something and actually thinking about it WORKS. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?!?!
- I have the worst time at getting whatever i'm thinking in my head out in words (writing AND speaking). This isn't something entirely new, but kind of reaffirmed and put into simpler words.
- I REALLY love Gloria Swanson.
- Sometimes I will be walking around and purposefully go somewhere I know someone else i know goes just to see that person. This person brightens my days.
- I should really keep a lot of my inner "people studies" to myself. Some people don't have high-enough self-esteems to take it, and I don't have enough control to cover what comes out of my mouth.
- I really don't hate people. They can be frustrating, but I tend to love all of them.
-Aesexuality is the way to go.



As for a resolution, I say: FUCK RESOLUTIONS. They were made to be broken.
If anything I offer this, just be better than last year. Done.
