Hunger Games Review!

Last Friday I went to go see The Hunger Games, and I have just been dying to review it for the blog! I believe that the movie did a pretty great job putting as much as they could from the book into the movie. The characters were exactly how I pictured them and so were the scenes! I thought that Katniss was exactly how she should be for the movie. She had the right attitude and determination for her role and she did an amazing job. Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) has always been one of my favorite actors! he was in Bridge to Teribithia when he was little!

Ergonomics!

Ergonomics are the study of how people uses their work space and equiptment.  A bad habit of mine is I slump when I sit and stand. My posture is all around terrible! I don't believe this environment is ergonomically sound because we can not control the height of our chairs, and there aren't any armrests. While working at a computer you should be sitting all the way back, eyes should level to the top of the computer monitor, the home row of the key board she be at the same level as your elbows.

Blurs on Google Maps

 Do you think it's justified that some images are blurred on Google Maps? Have you ever noticed anything mysterious on the site?

I think that it is justified for some images to be blurred because everyone has a right to have privacy and Google Maps does kind of take away from that. The government buildings have a lot of importance to them and it does not necessarily need to be shown off to the world. I believe that if you really have the want and need to see it and it is blocked on Google Maps, then just go see it in person. Otherwise, it's really not a big deal! I've never noticed anything mysterious either, just let people have their privacy!!!

Twinkies!

I love twinkies soooooooooooo much! Unfortunately, they are VERY unhealthy! Which makes me sad because I don't want to be unhealthy, but I don't want to stop eating twinkies either! Have you ever heard of fried twinkies???? Well, if you haven't now you have! I have never tried one, though I've heard they are delicious! So, the bottom line is I LOVE twinkies, and if you don't there is something extremely wrong with you!

Best Part of Class!

The best part of class this quarter in my opinion was the stop motion project. It was really fun for me because you got to see how each individual picture ends up being a part of a movie. After you have it all put together you have a feeling of accomplishment that you made it all look good. I also liked getting to listen to music while I worked. For some reason music just makes me work faster, but I'm a very musical person anyway. Unfortunately, my computer buddy Taylor won't be in here next quarter, which makes me sad. We will always have the memories we made this quarter though!
