nut shell

my day in a nut shell.... went to school, threw some music and a baton at some kids, wore my sweater inside out for most of the day, almost finished about a boy, taught a lesson, came home, taught another double lesson...which is what you get to listen to above....went out with friends.....
we went to the okc art museum theatre (yes, oklahoma does have an art museum : )...we saw Academy Award Nominated Shorts....and really they were all really good, but i'll give you the low down....

Gopher Broke....a animated short by Jeff Fowler...this was funny, it was about a gopher trying to get food and always losing....he ends up getting squashed by a cow...trust me its funny...

Two Cars, One Night...Taika Waititi & Ainsley Gardiner....This one was about three kids being left in cars outside of a motel....a lot of it i couldn't understand and most of the time i was thinking, who would go into a motel and party why their kids are sitting in the car....hum....well anyway one of the boys and the girl become friendly....

Birthday Boy...Sejong Park....This one almost made me cry, it is animated, you mainly watch a little korean kid playing war....when he gets home there is a package on the front porch that has his dad dog tags and a boat and his dads wallet....the little boy didn' t have a clue that his dad wasn't coming back....very sad

Little Terrorist....Ashvin Kumar....This was just reminded me that everyone is equal...i can't really explain it....it has a lot to do with different cultures coming together, and you just are reminded that even though you are different, you are still a human....

Ryan....Chris Landreth....this one was about Ryan Larkin, who was a Canadian Animator....this one was in my top two.....it was animated telling the life of Ryan, and how lifes problems can consume you and make you no longer human....and sometime you just can't get out of it....this is one that i would really like to see again.....i need to read up on Ryan Larkin.....

7:35 in the Morning....Nacho Vigalondo....this one was great...it is about a lady who comes into the same restaurant each morning....she has an admirer....when she comes in one morning everything is different....there are two people by the restroom one has a guitar and the other a keyboard....everyone is staring at her and acting weird....all the sudden from behind a poll, a man break into song and starting singing about her....everyone in the restaurant has their lines to sing and even dance ...later we find out he has a bomb attached to himself, the police end up coming and he ends up blowing up....but trust me this is funny and worth seeing, even if you know the ending....where does one find these films...

Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher....Alex Woo....from WooHoo films : ).....this is animated about an american super guy who goes around killing nazis....it was really funny...

Wasp...Andrea Arnold....this one is about at 23 year old who has 4 kids, can't feed them, can't bath them, and she meets an old flame and leave them outside a bar why she is trying to hook up with this guy...the whole film i'm sitting there thinking that something is going to happen to one of the kids and i was going to be pissed....i was already pissed that they didn't have food....i have a real problem with child neglect...when making out with the guy in the car she hears one of her daughters yelling and runs to them...the baby had a wasp in his mouth....everything worked out and the guy she was trying to hook up with fed her kids....that made everything a little better... : )

I hope everyone enjoyed my over view of the movies : ) Go see them if you can : )



This is from Ryan... it was very cool....
