So I've gotten experimental

Surprise, eh? I've realized how much I miss my weird indy flicks all the time and have gone on a massive internet binge for crazy media. And I've decided that although I want to study photography, I want to minor in film. I found a college down here that has a Photography/Film/Video course, but I can't start until next school year in February. So I'm going to go ahead and apply there and see how it goes. It's far cooler than MDS where my only photo option is in the graphic design program. I'm basically going to apply for heaps of universities for next school year in the coming weeks and figure it out like that.

But in the meantime, here's a video you all might enjoy. It's called Egg and it's an animated short by Benh Zeitlin. I saw it at the St Louis International Film Fest a couple years back and I remember thinking 'Holy shit! That's amazing!' and then I found out they put it on MySpace. But it doesn't have many views so here's me doing my part. Check it out.

So I just heard about the VT shooting a few minutes ago. For those of you who know me, you know I tend to get all obsessive about any random shooting sprees that happen in more of a 'How did that happen?' sense than anything else. But this time it's kinda different.

I have a good friend who goes to that school, which made it quite a bit different for me. I found out about it through facebook. One of my friends changed her status to 'having a weird reaction to the VT shooting' and that's when I went ahead and checked the news. And then I realized Heather went to VT. She's alright, but it's still quite nuts. I haven't looked into it too much and I don't really care to. I guess her being there made it all seem a lot more real than just hollywood style shoot em up on the news.

I don't really have much to say but keep em in your prayers. They're gonna need em. And I'm glad I left America when I did. It's hard to realized just how messed up the place is until you leave it.
