Meg is in ceramics class this semester. She really enjoys working on the wheel. (This photo isn't the wheel where you make the clay into the pot though... this is the one where you detail the bottom after it's slightly dry... I think... I've never actually done any of that myself.)
Today was the last day of the film challenge. We didn't spend nearly as much time working on the thing as I thought we would. I actually got as much or more sleep than usual. The more I think about our movie the more I like it. There are some things that aren't so great... like you can hear the flourecent lights buzzing the whole time and there is always infinite depth of field so it doesn't look to professional (I guess that'd be my fault cuz I did almost all of the camerawork). But I like the idea. I don't want to say anything else about it now in case you can make it to the screening at 7pm on the 13th in S101. After that the video will be availible to watch online.
Movies I've seen recently:
School for scoundrels: I actually only saw about 2/3 of this since I went in to watch it after work when it was well into the movie. Unless the first 1/3 of the movie is phenominal, this movie is nothing too great. I guess some of it's kinda entertaining... but definitely not worth the time and money.
Dandelion: We rented this one tonight. I really liked it. I'm not entirely sure why. I don't want to say that I totally connected to it... there's a lot of bad stuff in it... but it seemed very real to me. There's a lot of foul language and drug usage, but I still recomend the movie. There is a lot of negativity throughout but the ultimate message is one of hope... I think. I think when you watch this you will either really connect with it and enjoy it or else totally hate it.
In other news, I don't know if I've said this on the blog yet or not... but anyhow... Meg and I are going to the Dominican Republic after Christmas. AMOR (a mission outreach) is a service project organized by Dordt (specifically I think Sam and now Pastor Rod are in charge of it). One team goes to Honduras and one team goes to the DR. We are really excited about this!
