I can’t be alone in loving Norah Jones. My friend Jake thinks that she is OK. I think she is a K.O. She’s incredibly talented, has a great voice, and she is all that beautiful in this world. She’s like a modern day Emily Dickinson – intelligent yet vulnerable. She is my first favorite Norah. Number two is Norah from “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.” aka – Kat Dennings. Number three on my Norah list is Norah aka Emily Blunt from “Sunshine Cleaning.” Whoever decided to make a movie with the premise of cleaning and disposing of biohazardous waste material from crime scenes (blood, dried up membranes, other horrific matter, and decaying flesh) is an idiot. Oh, wait, they got Emily Blunt and Amy Adams to play the two starring roles. Well played, director… well played.
So, what have I learned in the past few days – I am not looking forward to this 120 question test they (my teachers) call “The MFT.” My classmates and I are responsible for teaching each other the contents on the exam. The two areas I have been blessed with are – IS (Information Systems which I already presented poorly) and Statistics (which I don’t know anything about). I just took the stats course 5 weeks ago and I remember nothing. I hated it so much and cared so little about anything that was going on that I couldn’t teach smart monkey about probability if someone was threatening my life. They’d pull out a samurai sword and tell me to start talking gibberish about stats and I would stammer like an idiot. Maybe because I think samurai swords are cool, but mainly because I don’t know anything about stats. My thought would be – why not have someone who knows something about this stuff come and teach the class? I guarantee there are professors and geeks around the area that could interpret statistical research much more eloquently than I will. I’m not looking forward to this.
I just finished up my application to Miami Ad School in Minneapolis. Actually, I have one part left. The pink sheet which informed me of what I needed to do to get into this school let me know that I had to video tape myself informing the crowd about why I am creative and how I will be a good fit at ad school. I hate this question and am still having problems answering it. I’ve had weeks to think about this query and still, I can’t answer it. How do you explain something like that? I just wrote the school advisor and told her that I may submit a silent film (see Charlie Chaplin). Strictly non-verbal communication. It might be the way all ads are seen in the future – like when everyone becomes deaf. I blame George Bush and radioactivity for this impending deafness. What I’ll probably end up doing is having my English major friend, Zach, interview me at a local establishment that all the cool kids hang out at… The Recovery Room. We’ll be in there with a camcorder a few sheets of paper, aviator shades, and director chairs. The theater kids will trip all over each other thinking we’re holding auditions for “Guys and Dolls.” I should be a director.
Class comes early tomorrow, so I am going to sleep – dormir (to sleep) en espanol.
