For 2 stars in the Design Assignment category, I did the Favorite Movie Quote Assignment from the Digital Storytelling Assignment Bank. The image is from the movie Gone with the Wind, which has been on my mind recently, probably in part due to my response to the “Name that Movie” Daily Create. In this image, Scarlett O’Hara dances … Continue reading Two Terrible People of a Kind

Very popular film. #tdc1635 pic.twitter.com/HvVz1OntCV — s. gupta (@sguptaauthor) July 1, 2016 I thought this Daily Create needed its own post. I was intrigued to find that unlike most of the other Daily Creates we’ve had recently, it centers not … Continue reading Answer to my Daily Create Riddle, and Backstory

I was debating whether or not the Daily Creates ought to go on my blog separately, instead of as one big blog post, but I figured I would have to because I need to discuss the most recent Daily Create. Like, I NEED to. You’ll see. For now, here’s another cool Daily Create, from earlier … Continue reading Starting the week off right with Daily Create No. 1

I remember the first time I watched it with my cousins and we set up a projector onto […]

I picked this assignment because I happen to be a waitress and the diner that I work at happens to only sell Pepsi products. Don’t get me wrong, Pepsi isn’t bad or anything. But, I definitely prefer my beloved Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi. It’s nothing personal, it’s just preference. It really comes down to the … Continue reading Is Pepsi Okay?

I kinda had to pick this assignment because I love minimalism AND book covers. I loved playing with white space on this cover and I wanted it to feel like a bug was crawling over the surface. I like the juxtaposition of the cleanliness of the white space with the neat text and then the … Continue reading Talk About Bed Bugs…

This assignment was a great stress release for me. I’ve had such a hectic week between work and the two classes I’m taking. I think it’s really important to stop and reflect that it’s okay that you don’t have your life together sometimes. Lord know, I do not have everything figured out in my life. … Continue reading How Does One “Adult”?

As suggested in Dr. Polack’s guide for this week, I chose the Truthful movie poster assignment from the Digital Storytelling Assignment Bank, in the Design section. This assignment is worth 4 stars. I just picked a movie at random from a list of favorites I suggested to a friend. The movie I chose was Deliverance, a somewhat-disturbing R-rated … Continue reading A Fun Take on a Traumatizing Movie

No one ever said that being born as a dragon is easy….Accept for Daenerys Targaryen. So my advice ? get fit as fast as you can: (this  is in response to Daily Create #tdc1634) “You are small men. None of you are fit to lead the Dothraki. But I am. So I will” ~Daenerys #tdc1634 @ds106dc … Continue reading Getting Fit with Dragons…

500 Days of Summer is one of my favorite movies…even though it does employ one of the worst feminine tropes: the manic pixie dream girl. But, I think that if you look closely enough it is kind of critiquing this trope and poking holes in it. I picked 500 Days for this assignment to piece … Continue reading Cue the Song: Mad World

We had to create two animated gifs for DS106 this week. I used http://ezgif.com/video-to-gif to create both. The first one I picked was http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/subtitlegif/ . This is a short scene from a movie I filmed way back in 2005. The hero, Joey Green, takes a volleyball off his head. I instantly thought of this because my friends […]

I have to say I found this an incredibly boring read. I am not saying the publication does not have its merits, someone who is writing a book or professionally online may find this very useful. I have no plans of ever doing either. I knew I was in trouble when two out of the […]

Missing Person Assignment I’m such a sucker for a good mystery and the one surrounding Teamsters’ president, Jimmy Hoffa is a good one if you’ve never heard of it. His disappearance is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in American history and has inspired numerous conspiracy theories because to this day his body has NEVER … Continue reading Modern Day Nancy Drew Here
