Lack of Media

I just noticed that as soon as school got out I am lacking in my media consumption. First, there has been a significant decrease in the amount of emails I receive each day. Second, no one has continued to post on their blogs that I enjoyed looking at throughout the semester. Third, I don't have to code movies anymore. Finally, due to the lack of time during finals I am cleaning up my apartment. Thus, my television viewing is yet again being displaced. Maybe once I finish all my school and housework I will finally be able to enjoy some good ol' television.

I feel happy.

Well, I just finished one of my three essays that are due in the next week. I feel happy. Except the pain I feel in my eye. Also, I was reading the article about the student emmy's that BYU received down in LA this past weekend. This made me happy because one of my friends in my ward was the co-producer of the animation that won. Also, he was my home teacher. He got a job at Pixar and I'm so excited for him! I feel happy. Until tomorrow...

Good Find.

A friend told me about this website. I'm sure there are a lot out there like this one, but I thought it was a cool resource for parents.

Product Placement

I'm currently watching Bones and there was a huge product placement!!!!!! One character said "Why do you have a mini-van, do you have kids we don't know about." The other says, "Honey, I'm an artist, the Sienna provides me..." I lost track of what she said after that because I was in shock. Also during the commercials there have been a few different ones about the Toyota Sienna. Seems like they are trying to do a huge job to get their product out there. It worked, I noticed. However, I won't be buying a Sienna anytime soon. Maybe more about this later.
