Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Thursday at The Square, I give you lots of credit for getting such an awesome band. Especially as the opening show.
Also, it's 1:15am and I'm trying to write a 3 page paper. It's bad when even blogger distracts me from writing a paper.

Final blog post!
Well.. this blog post came up fast. Maybe because I haven't actually done a whole lot of blogging for the past few months.
One thing I liked about this week: Initially this week totally sucked and I was stressin' hard. But as of today I am having a really superb day. Mainly because Mrs. Licata just told me some reaaaallly good news and then also because today is my day off and I'm going to see Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (thursday at the square lineup rules this year!) and going to Amy's Place before!
One thing I disliked about this week: For some reason all my teachers decided to assign intricate projects for exams. Which means I have to do it all outside of class, but don't have TIME outside of class to do it. So that kind of sucked. Whatevs~*
One thing I want to learn: I always thought animation seemed really hard and not what I want to do.. but I kind of do want to learn animation. I wish BOCES counted as college so I could just take that class here.
One thing I learned: I learned how to conquer wix, because it was being a hater earlier in the week. That's about it.
So goodbye, blog. It has been nice knowing you.

Just in case you feel like reading this article,
This kid is a genious. Seriously. Wow. His IQ is higher than Einstein..
A 12-year-old child prodigy has astounded university professors after grappling with some of the most advanced concepts in mathematics.
Jacob Barnett has an IQ of 170 – higher than Albert Einstein – and is now so far advanced in his Indiana university studies that professors are lining him up for a PHD research role.
The boy wonder, who taught himself calculus, algebra, geometry and trigonometry in a week, is now tutoring fellow college classmates after hours.
And now Jake has embarked on his most ambitious project yet – his own ‘expanded version of Einstein’s theory of relativity’.
His mother, not sure if her child was talking nonsense or genius, sent a video of his theory to the renowned Institute for Advanced Study near Princeton University.
According to the Indiana Star, Institute astrophysics professor Scott Tremaine -himself a world renowned expert – confirmed the authenticity of Jake’s theory.
In an email to the family, Tremaine wrote: ‘I’m impressed by his interest in physics and the amount that he has learned so far.
‘The theory that he’s working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
‘Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize.’
But for his mother Kristine Barnett, 36, and the rest of the family, maths remains a tricky subject.
Speaking to the paper, Mrs Barnett said: ‘I flunked math. I know this did not come from me.’
And it hasn’t gone un-noticed by Jake, who added: ‘Whenever I try talking about math with anyone in my family they just stare blankly.’
Jake was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, a mild form of autism, from an early age.
His parents were worried when he didn’t talk until the age of two, suspecting he was educationally abnormal.
It was only as he began to grow up that they realised just how special his gift was.
He would fill up note pads of paper with drawings of complex geometrical shapes and calculations, before picking up felt tip pens and writing equations on windows.
By the age of three he was solving 5,000-piece puzzles and he even studied a state road map, reciting every highway and license plate prefix from memory.
By the age of eight he had left high school and was attending Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis advanced astrophysics classes.
His classroom presence is quite unnerving for many of the 18-plus year old students at his IPIU lectures.
Speaking to the Indy Star, Wanda Anderson, a biochemistry major said: ‘When I first walked in and saw him, I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to school with Doogie Howser.’
She added: ‘A lot of people come to him for help when they don’t understand a physics problem.
‘People come up to him all the time and say, ‘Hey Jake, can you help me’.
‘A lot of people think a genius is hard to talk to, but Jake explains things that would still be over their head.’
And his Professor John Ross said his performance in lectures had been ‘outstanding’.
‘When he asks a question, he is always two steps ahead of the lecture.
‘Everyone in the class gets quiet. Poor kid. . . . He sits right in the front row, and they all just look at him.
‘He will come to see me during office hours and ask even more detailed questions. And you can tell he’s been thinking these things through.
‘Kids his age would normally have problems adding fractions, and he is helping out some of his fellow students.’
According to his parents Jake has trouble sleeping at night as he constantly sees numbers in his head.
But far from complaining, Jake has turned the sleepless nights to his advantage – debunking the big bang theory.
The next step, according to professor Ross, is for Jake to leave class altogether and take up a paid research role.

If you have a minute, check out Flash Parker's photostream. I haven't found anything that isn't awesome.
Edit: I'm also thinking Ms. Licata used this shot of his for an example of the rule of thirds?
this week
like: I got some filming done for my white project.
dislike: Working every day except Monday..
learned: I now work with my second grade boyfriend, whom I broke up with in gym class when he informed the whole 2nd grade that I was wearing pink underwear (I couldn't have that. I was a tom boy.)
want to learn: I want to learn how to effectively use weebly, because every time I want to do something they have some kind of limitation.

In Nip/Tuck, there's this one girl named Monica Wilder and I swear she looks just like Allison from The Breakfast Club. Except it's not the same actress. In Breakfast Club it was Ally Sheedy, and Monica is Jennifer Hall. That was my epiphany.
I have not posted in quiiiite some time
Like: This week, I enjoyed the random day of no school on Tuesday due to a power outage? Our school can apparently not function without e-school.
Dislike: I can't get ahold of the SPCA because they don't have an answering machine and close at 5. So I can't call to schedule a time to volunteer..
Learned: All those tutorials we had to do were kind of cool. Shooting through a wall and stuff. Though, I couldn't make the wall shots blend like they were supposed to for the life of me.
Want to learn: I want to work with other types of cameras and stuff, and learn about lenses and such.
OKAYBYE

I'm not particularly sure about the purpose of this website yet, but it seems pretty good. Just type in a band and it gives you a bunch of their music (via youtube videos) and then gives related artists/bands as well. Good enough for me, I wonder if it's blocked at school?

11:58 pm, I rule!
(Liked:) finishing my natural high video on time! And sort of liking it even though (Dislike:) it is kind of lame. The voiceover is tooootally cheesey at some parts. (Learned:) We're doing a stopmotion video, and I am excited about it. (Want to learn:) how to not procrastinate?
This is a website of ways someone re-used their (daughters) clothing. It's really innovative. coolllll
I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with FinalCutKing
He makes FCP tutorials on youtube, and is incredible. Definitely my favorite FCP/motion tutorial guy.
He just subscribed to my music channel on youtube... So weird, yet awesome. I am happy :)

I don't remember if I posted this on here or not a while back,
but I know it's on my tumblr:
Washington, DC, Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes, a middle aged man noticed there was a musican playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried to meet his schedule…
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and without stopping continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year-old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the Metro Station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities. The questions raised: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…How many other things are we missing?
What have you noticed anything lately?
Did you stop and enjoy it?

Happy: Well, I suppose the snow day made me happy. Even though it was kind of pointless, and I didn't even get to do anything during it.
Un-happy: I picked up alot of hours from work. I'm on a six day work streak that may continue to be longer depending on whether I'm scheduled for monday and beyond of next week.
Learned: I learned that I'm not allowed to volunteer at the SPCA until I'm 18, which totally sucks. Luckily I only have a month and 14 days left.
Want to learn: The ability to throw together quick vegetarian foods. Seeing as I'm almost never home to cook or make myself anything.

This website, oh my lord
foodgawker.com
By far my favorite food website of all time. Lots of vegan and vegetarian stuff, and the website is designed well too. You just favorite all the stuff you want to go back to! :)
EDIT: another really cool one - myfridgefood.com. You check off what ingredients you already have at home and it gives you ideas of what to make. No shopping needed!

WATCH THIS, no seriously
This video is by far one of the best, ever. It is in my top two. Partially due to the subject matter and partially because it's just awesome.

Liked that the semester is ending. This means I will finally have a lunch after next week. Disliked that I have a whole lot to do lately. Exams and like 604093480 projects here. Except maybe that's exaggerating. I learned how to do stop motion in fcp after there were extensive issues with the pictures for some reason. I want to learn how to yodel.

for the week of 1/14/11
Like: Hannah's mom made me toast. With cheese in it. I like to call it grilled cheese, it's a family recipe.
Dislike: Corrupt files. Technology is a h8r
Learned: Motion sucks with big files. ie video clips. And that we share 50% of the same dna as bananas.
Want to learn: I would like to learn how to dougie. Even though Jenni has already taught me.

I'm just gonna do my weekly commentz a day early!
On this fine week of 2011:
What made me happy was seeing Ann Marie's beautiful face. But besides that I dunno.. One thing that made me unhappy was being back to school, because I really do not like it, and break ended very fast. This week I learned green screen.. It's easier in motion. In my opinion. One thing I want to learn is I suppose cameras in motion, still. They're so difficult.
okbyeeee
