Story analysis time (ft spoilers for the 1985 Clue movie)! Woo! The story I chose to work with for this week was the 1985 Clue movie. I was scrolling through Showtime’s (pretty pitiful, if I do say so myself) collection of 1980’s movies, and, having just watched Knives Out, was in a murder mystery mood […]

So this (two star, writing) assignment said to make a poem out of the titles of episodes of the twilight zone! My main goal was to make something cutesy and sweet, because that is the opposite of what the Twilight Zone is about, and I think I succeeded! The process? Look over the master list […]

1/27/20! My poetic daily create! Started off strong with climate change, then I tried to transition into a more love/romantic human experience style poem (couple meets via speed-dating, listens to crunk, a type of music at a club/on a date, then go geocaching together, get married, and their wedding has crudos as appetizers and their […]

This (three and a half star, written) assignment was to write and alternate ending to a film. The film I went with was Clue the Movie, released in 1985, set in the 50s. This was definitely a really interesting take, and the format of the movie made it very conducive to this assignment. As far […]

This assignment required me to find a bunch of newspaper headlines and make a story with them. I decided to use only the UMW newspapers, and, keeping with the theme, only headlines from the 80s! Here is the story I came up with! I was actually able to do this with only one modification to […]

This (written) assignment entailed writing a story, on anything you wanted, writing in your normal writing style, and then rewriting it using “The Up-Goer Five Text Editor“, a software that you can type into that lets you know when you use any word that isn’t top 10 hundred most used. This was really fun because […]

Voila! Do you like your chicken literal or metaphorical? I wish I could have […]

That’s quite the mouthful, isn’t it? If only there was a shorter, more efficient way to refer to the three of those ladies who all have the same name! Well fear not, my fellow classmates! Such a word does, in fact, exist! The goal of the (visual) assignment I completed today was to use this […]

80s pop culture things

January 17, 2020

80’s pop culture in general, at least when I think about it, is very big and loud and over-the-top, but upon consideration, this is a very stereotypical, 2020-type view of things. As the gif suggests, this portrait of the 80’s is a very modern, “Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show satire” portrayal, and although there is no […]
