Summer MOVIES :)

I am really excited for the movies that are being released this year! Twilight and Harry Potter are two if many exciting movies that will be released. Twilight will be released Wednesday June 30th, 2010. Harry Potter is set to be released November 19th, 2010. I thought I would blog on these because I love these movies. I will say that I am very shocked that Harry Potter will be releasing it's movie only 6 months after Twilight. I heard last year that Harry Potter waited to release its movie when the Joker was shown because they didn't want to compete. Either way, I'm excited to the year ahead with movies that I have been waiting to see. :)

NAPS ARE AMAZING!!!

Naps are really helpful, especially for college students. I live on campus and all of my friends love to nap. I saw a video clip on CNN that shows that when we sleep or nap we are actually getting smarter. When we sleep our brain can process and make the connections more efficiently. Its easier and takes less effort. So, if anyone plans on getting smarter fall asleep while reading or studying. Whatever is bothering you think about it before you fall asleep and when you wake up you should have a better handle on things.

WOW!

Well Kate Gosselin is back in the news again. For many different reasons. She wants to be on the Playboy Cover but Heff told her, "No." Which I find pretty funny. This woman is nuts. I also continued to read about her new book she is getting published and the talk show she went on kept asking her questions about her children, but she reverted to her book. This woman has become really selfish and probably has destroyed her 8 children's lives. I read in an article that they faked Christmas. They woke up one morning and told the kids that Santa had come so that the camera could catch their reactions. I think this is crazy!!! I feel so bad for these kids...and really what is this world coming too?

CAMPUS MOVIE FEST!!!

Today I am going to blog about Campus Movie Fest because it's something that I have decided to do for my second time. I created a film last semester and it was one of the 15 videos shown out of 30 or so that were created. It wasn't a great film, but it was fun filming and editing. This year I have a couple friends who are helping me film what I hope to be a really good 5 minute movie. I really like that CMF provides all of the equipment needed to create this 5 minute film. It makes it so much easier for college students who cannot afford their own video camera and editing program. This week will be very stressful and jam packed with action but in the end it will be worth it. :)

American Idol Exposed...

I was searching CNN today for my daily news and found an interesting article on American Idol. I love American Idol but I don't watch it every episode. Actually, I've stopped watching it because it's the same thing every year for the past 8 seasons. But, the interesting thing is that I found an article that talks about exactly what is going to happen tonight. Someone published a "spoiler" that tells who is being let go and who is being saved by the judges. I find this really funny because people will do anything for money. People go to the rehearsal or the screening and then they call bloggers and they get paid for telling what they heard and saw. I think this goes along with our discussion board and this idea of reality TV. I mean how much of what we see is actually real ? How much

Jon and Kate Plus 8???

So, I have watched this show many times and I think the children are adorable and what not, but I don't understand why they have now become famous? There divorce was completely public and now the headlines say that Jon is suing Kate for custody. I think it's very interesting to see how things turn out to be different than expected. I bet they didn't think they would become famous or get divorced but they did. Maybe it's just me but I don't think I've seen one show where the couple stays together after they are on a TV show together. I wonder if there are any statistics on it or any information? What do you think?

ipad, ipod, itouch, im going insaneeeee!!!

The new ipad is set to be released this Saturday! I'm not really sure how I feel about this new product. I read an article on CNN, the top 10 things you need to know about the new ipad. The new ipad is just like a laptop except there no keyboard it's just a touch screen. In other words it's just a bigger version of the ipod touch.

They are starting at $499 dollars and go to $829 dollars tops. These prices reflect the amount of storage you want to purchase. In other words, how much music and files you want to store on your ipad. It weighs only 1 1/2 pounds which is crazy, and 9.7 inches across measured diagonally!!!

The ipad is similar to the ipod touch because it can get Internet anywhere that a wireless signal is found and it can also be linked to AT&T's mobile 3G network and you can get Internet anywhere you are.

The ipad is really good for different types of media such as watching videos browsing the web, reading books, etc. It's also good for gaming. If you want to create word documents you have to pay an extra fee to have it put on as an Apple App.
