Good luck with finals fellow College students.
See you when I haven't been up since 5AM due to lack of sleep.
Chao.

OMD: An Idea
Name some of your favorite films (preferably PG-13 and under) that you'd like to see me review.
I've got finals coming up and about four or five papers due (one that's has a page minimum of 25) - so this week is short and sweet.
Hopefully I'll see you after this madness is over!

W.I.P. Notre Dame
With the devastation of Notre Dame yesterday, I'll just leave a few videos here.
This best showcases the various parts of the roof, and the iconic spire that is, sadly, gone.
An excellent showcase from inside Notre Dame. One of the photos we received today of the Rose Window is heavily featured at the end of this song.
The title song that captures the bells beautifully.

And the original film version with Lon Chaney Sr.
Share your favorite photos of Notre Dame below, and I'll see you next week.

Book Nook: The Un-Dead, Should Remain Dead
This book is one that I will not give much fanfare. It went the way of many other easy outs and screwing up of the original in a few ways. AND IT WAS WRITTEN BY A BOSHGONENABBIT RELATIVE OF THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR!
Excuse me, but I'm a lot opinionated about it.
Title: Dracula The Un-Dead
Author(s): Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt
Basically a wonderful adaptation until the last few chapters.
Another vampire threat comes ... geeze, how do I review this without spoilers?
Look - if you want to read another Dracula novel, go take a peek at this one.
If you want more about my opinions, well, the first little blurb was enough.
Lastly: STOP MAKING THE VILLAIN INTO A SNOWFLAKE!

No Foolin'! I'm going to -
With this new month I'm going to give some good news.
About two months ago I decided to apply for a college program down in Florida. It was hit and miss if I would make it. I filled out the forms online, then had to wait for a phone interview. Well, I had the phone interview on a Thursday. They informed me it could take up until the end of April before I would know if I'd been accepted or not. The interviewer informed me that there were also auditions the following Friday - if I was interested in gaining a performer role.
The following Monday I tried checking the dashboard while at school. For some reason it didn't work all day.
That evening I checked again around nine and discovered this:
Come August I will be travelling down to Florida to participate in the Disney College Program.
While the audition was a great experience, I was not selected as a performer, but will still be there as a Seater.
I've kept this under wraps from everyone until it was definitely in the bag and I accepted the offer. It's going to be an exciting time, living down in the dorms and getting to work at one of the many parks. Pictures will likely become frequent (or as frequently as I can muster - things get busy when you work and have school.)
If any of you have gone through the program before feel free to leave some advice for a newbie. I look forward to being part of this amazing experience.
