Tree Art … I didn’t even know that was a thing but apparently when it comes to this strangely satisfying class known as DS106, anything and everything is a “thing”.... Read more >

So, earlier today I granted an interview with the teachers of noir106, because they have been dying to interview me! Things went pretty well, and I think they have a better picture of who I am now. My answers are genuine, but I knew them beforehand, so I had time...

Today’s Daily Create was to make a motivational poster. However, the words that accompanied the picture needed to be our own words. I took a picture of my team after a big win last season and added some encouraging words. There will never be an “I” in “team” and a huge win like this one … Continue reading Motivational Poster

For today’s daily create I had to make an inspirational poster using a phrase that I have said. I decided to use the phrase “Take The Plunge,” and use a picture of myself doing a backflip off of a bridge into the water. This quote basically means that you should try new things, take chances, … Continue reading Take The Plunge

To start, this week was an awful one. I had a terribly busy week along with some things going on in my personal life and Professor Groom was so kind to give me an extension so that I could complete the work. Groom you are the best!

It’s not to late … It’s NEVER to late to start anew.

For this assignment, everything started with Roger Eberts, “How to Read a Movie” and this piece was awesome. Some of his points were things that i have never thought of before and some things were so simple that are just overlooked by all. After reading Eberts piece watching Notorious by Alfred Hitchcock was a totally … Continue reading How to Read a Movie →

This past week has been quite heck-tic. There’s a lot of work coming now towards the end of the semester. There’s a bunch to keep up with. More and more each week I see my character coming alive and becoming her own person. I enjoyed the rainy poem because it allowed me the just free … Continue reading Weekly Summary #9 →

In the film Notorious, I chose to analyze the wine cellar scene.  I thought it was interesting as to why, in Brazil, they would have Champagne. Champagne is a product of France..I also saw that the bottle of Burgundy weren’t lying on their sides like the other bottles. It was also intriguing that Cary did … Continue reading Video Essay →

Overall, I think in our radio we covered what we initially  wanted in terms of theme. It was hard trying to make sense of noir with our theme but I think we were able to express the noir style very clearly. I would ave liked to have had a longer discussion with our characters but … Continue reading Final Radio Reflection →

On Thursday the 19th I listened to Dinner Party at 6. I chose to listen to them because I saw that they were a big group. I wasn’t entirely sure what their theme was going to be just by the name of the group so I wanted to be surprised. I sure was surprised listening … Continue reading Radio Listen #2 →

5 stars Her name is called Ronda Rousey. Rose King, my character, resembles her a lot. She has overcome many battles just like Rousey. My character used to have a run in with drugs  a long time ago before she found what she was meant to do. That was to become a country singer. She … Continue reading Highlight Reels →

Today’s Daily Create was to create a drawing of Batman in 15 seconds…this was really hard. I’m a terrible drawer. This took me longer than 15 seconds (sorry I cheated).

For this assignment, the guidelines were really simple. forward shot, look at something, forward shot. Then do the same thing with a different object, and see how by changing the object the clip completely changes meaning and connotation. I used...

Victoire missed her dead brother. Did she ever tell you she had a brother? Probably not. Some things are best to keep close and not let other people see. Lest they use it as a weapon against you. He died...

For the final unit of this course, I have decided to reunite with Sylvia Stone, Edie Waz, and Margaret Pinault; my best friend, cousin, and grandmother, respectively.  Together, we are the “MaNOIRpulators”. After meeting up at Edie’s bar a few weeks ago, we just knew we had to reconnect. The world would be lost without us. Let’s … Continue reading The Decision Heard Around the (DS106) World

I was inspired by this awful tutorial from some year that doesn’t even exist yet to make my own makeup tutorial for 5 bananas. (No black eyeliner? Come on.) I took a video of myself getting into hair and makeup, as if I were going onstage. I then had to cut and clip it left and … Continue reading How To Be Sexy

I did the silent movie assignment for 4.5 bananas.  I had an old video of myself and Sarah Mustard that I thought would be very important for the deaf people of the wold to see, since they can’t hear. Nobody should be a victim of theft. This was created using iMovie. I first took the … Continue reading The Most Compelling Story Ever Told.

For today’s daily create I had to draw Batman in 15 seconds. This is what I came up with. I got his mask and his cape and attempted the bat symbol on his chest. This shows me that I have kind of internalized the basic shape of Batman. Which is weird because I never knew … Continue reading 15 Second Batman

For today’s daily create I had to make a selfie out of breakfast foods. I chose to use an English muffin as the face, Honeycombs as the eyes, granola for the nose, and almonds for the smile. These foods don’t really go together but they are components of some of my different breakfasts. Of course … Continue reading Breakfast Selfie
