What's on your mind? (Status Updates)

I might watch the Monte Carlo Men’s Singles Final (Tennis).

Haha, I thought you might notice that! He complains that dates are meaningless and pointless to learn, and while I’m not a fan of rote memorization, he totally doesn’t get the context of the Great Depression (economy, culture, etc.) if he thinks it happened in the early 1800s… I see knowledge as a web of interlocking ideas and facts/events, not just memorizing a silly number.

Once again, I’ll mention my Disney World Trip here. It’s a big deal because I haven’t traveled a lot since high school, last year’s Japan trip aside, and I also haven’t been to Disney World since 2006, and it’s arguably my favorite place ever, so needless to say I am INCREDIBLY happy at the thought of returning there. Anyway, my mom is getting closer and closer to making a reservation, and just today I thought of the idea to have a countdown to my trip with animated movies from the Disney canon: 51 movies, 1 a day, nearly 2 months. It could be a lot of fun! I haven’t had a big Disney marathon in a while.

I’m on the fence about this new Lego movie that was announced today.

Why?

Maybe I’m more relaxed because I’ve been preparing for it for months (it wasn’t announced today, just the release date)

It can be either good or bad. The Lego will be just the medium to do it. It’s like a stop motion film.

I did that last year.

A stop motion Lego movie? Why has one not already been made?

There are some shorts in You Tube, but this will be the first mayor and official one.

Oh yes, of course. Fans have done some pretty elaborate animations with them. I’m just astounded this will be the very first official production using the format 8D

For what I’ve heard, the trick is that it will have CGI too, not only stop motion.

Let’s see how the thing comes out.

I’m happy because I get tomorrow off.

I need to take some screenshots tomorrow.

I made a Fanfiction account. WNot sure if I’ll use it a lot.

I joined the official Led Zeppelin forum.

My next logo will be from the film adaptation of a previous one I did.

That’s cool! I didn’t know they had one.

Yeah, I don’t think people need to know the exact date things happened, unless you’re a Social Studies major, but at least know the century/decade depending on the event.

The only years and events people should have memorized in American History are 1492 and 1776. Like those are the big important ones.

I shouldn’t talk though, bc there’s a lot of basic science stuff I don’t understand. But history wise I’m good!

I didn’t know they had one, either! 8D

As a reward for doing well in school I might get to pick out a CD or something today :smiley:

I just got a new avatar and signature. :smiley:

Awesome! Do you have one in mind?

Kinda hungry for pizza but we don’t have any.

I’m having Taco Johns tonight!

Yes, there has been one for quite some time.

I might watch Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii today.
