My favorite part of the week was walking Briscoe the dog. It was on Monday when the weather was really warm and sunny so it was a great day to be outside. Walking Briscoe is my job but it didn’t feel like work at all! To make this picture I printed out a picture of … Continue reading My Favorite Part of the Week

This is Kristi. She is a great love of mine, one of my best friends, and a beautiful person. She goes to school in New York and spends most of her breaks in Bermuda, so we haven’t seen each other in far too long. We met in fourth grade in Ms. Lewis’s class after I … Read More →

Today’s Daily Create: Your favorite moment in the past week Make an abstract sketch to illustrate it. My favorite moment in the past week was my boyfriend’s annual Fire Department Company dinner. He’s in the Hook & Ladder Company (no clue what this really means but he puts out fires and stuff and cuts holes […]

Movin’ on through the inspiration train! Man, I’m looking at my titles for these inspiration posts and I can’t help but think that they’re boring as dirt. (unless you’re a geologist). Am I going to change them, though? God, no....

My first daily create I created this week was called, “Your favorite moment in the past week.” The directions were to, “Make an abstract sketch to illustrate your favorite moment from this past week.” My favorite moment from this past … Continue reading →

I didn’t know what this show was getting into it. Maybe it was a noir script with D&D themes? A D&D style noir mystery? It ended up being a group having a game of D&D using their noir characters and progressing through a murder mystery.  Things That Worked Well The energy was there. It was … Read More →

Today’s Daily Create was to show our different sides with pictures. I took two photos of my Uncle Don and I. One from when I was really little and one from last summer at my cousins wedding. Here are the two compared:

So I was looking through character dossiers to see who I could mesh well with, and I found Sylvia. No last name, only Sylvia. She seemed nice- a black widow, a reporter, and a fellow admirer of red lipstick. I then saw this 3.5 star assignment, and it was simply calling my name. What could … Read More →

I listened to the radio show Noir D&D. I was very confused at first but I think I started to catch on a little bit by the end. It was a little hard to follow what they were talking about because I have no idea what the game D&D is or how it is played. … Continue reading ds106 radio show listen along

Monday night I live-Tweeted along to House of Noir. This was a great experience because unlike previous Tweet-alongs, this was one group’s project (not a professional show). I have some friends in this group, and it was strange hearing them impersonating their characters. Also, while listening to this, I was...

I know Janelle’s Sebastian Crane isn’t really looking for a lady right now, so the inspiration for this simple 2-star assignment seems to stem from Seb’s younger years, when he was... Read more >

For todays daily create we had to show different sides of our self. I don’t see myself as having very many different sides to my personality, so I decided to show my younger and older side. To do this I chose a picture of when I was a toddler and a more recent picture. Seeing … Continue reading My Different Sides

For my first inspire post, I decided to choose Lauren’s cheesy radio ad for UMW. You can check out more of her work on her website HERE. I really liked this ad, and how her audio flowed. It not only persuaded me to go to UMW (even though I already do), it also reinforced that […]

The first piece of work I put on in[spire] is titled “Emotions Through Sound” and was done by Shannon Grubbs. I really liked how Shannon did this because the sounds she used are really everyday sounds. It’s so easy to get caught up in the cyclic routine of life and forget the little things surrounding … Continue reading IN[SPIRE]

Today’s Daily Create: Show us different sides of yourself and put them together into one final collage. Here is my collage. featuring: Me and my main squeeze Pierre. Me holding a dead blowfish in my boss shirt. Me as a princess…aka me in my natural state Me turning 22 with a fishbowl in a pitcher because they […]

House of Noir was the first radio show I listened to. While I liked the show, especially the creepy/crazy fangirl, I had a little trouble following. Most of my issues were with the volume. Some of the characters or commercials were so low that I put my volume up on high, then it switched to … Continue reading House of Noir We There Yet →

Here are the transcriptions from both Black videos and their movies. ???: I want you to do something. I want you to get out of bed, Get over to the window, and scream as loud as you can. Otherwise, you’ll only have another three minutes left to live. The Dark Corner: How I detest the dawn. The … Read More →

The beginning of week 6 was off to a slow start.  Trying to figure out the groups and the topics. After we got the ball going things just started to roll right into place. All the ideas came together with the project radio. It was a good outcome, we finished and had some play room […]

Hello DS106 World! I feel like I’ve been kind of MIA lately.  …

ER MER GERD. Okay, this week has been amazing for me in the world of DS106. So if you might remember last week was absolutely horrible. Well, thanks to Professor Groom and a coupe of other awesome people in the … Continue reading →
