Tuesday Response

Ok, so part of our assignment for this Tuesday was to review our recent blog posts and I decided to evaluate myself. Although I do put my due time into the posts, I always end up putting in all this time at once. For example, I did two or three blog updates last night. The thing is, I thought I was being sneaky when I changed the dates in a few of my reviews. Oh well, I guess now I'll have to do the assignment like it was supposed to be done.
The second thing we're supposed to do is pick our favorite blog and comment, I have to say my favorite is Hot Kool Aid. She (or he) puts a lot of originality and personality into her blog and it makes it interesting to read.

This piece of artwork is colorful, yet subdued, creating an energetic yet peaceful feeling. The artist uses 3 pages from the bible, which makes the reader inquisitive. When I saw this, I was wondering why these 3 pages? Do they have certain meaning? Is the artist particularly religious or was a bible just a book that was laying around? At the same time, there are peacock feathers on top of the three pages, suggesting that there is a deeper meaning. While I am not sure what the peacock feathers mean, I would like to know. Talking to the artist, I would be interested in knowing what the meaning behind the pages and the feathers is.

I went through all of the three houses presented on "The Word" website, and I have to say I loved the first one. The other two were nice, but one was too chaotic and busy, while the other one was too rustic and old. The first one was modern and white, which creates a lively mood. The house seems spotless and that is rather calming and comforting.

I think the interviews of the high school seniors are really funny. My favorite is definitely the marijuana baker.  His name is Salome Zamora, and he says, "we can bake it into their food for them, so they can get their medicine," but only for people with medicinal marijuana privileges of course. He claims that they would only sell the marijuana food to "people who have medical marijuana cards." In the back of my mind, I'm thinking he kind of looks like he might be into marijuana, so maybe the bakery isn't to help people but just an excuse for him to get a hold of large quantities of marijuana (or maybe a little bit of both?). Hahaha, whatever floats your boat I guess!

I watched the soccer sensation video, but first I read the article about Indi Cowie. I have to admit, when I read the article, I was thinking "this girl sounds like a total stuck-up jerk!" She seems to disregard her team mates and she's a bit of a ball hog. I don't agree with the angry calls she got from her team mates, but at the same time, there has to be a reason that not one of her team mates likes her. On the other hand, my opinion of Indi changed after I watched the video. All the assumptions I had made based on the reading were contradicted. From the video, it seems like Indi is just genuinely interested in soccer, and she doesn't act like she's better than the other soccer players (even though she clearly is). And I guess... If you're that good, kudos to you.
