Thoughts on Short Stories englishmajorstalking 2012-06-17 | Where I fail to look at the camera, and also meditate on the process and pieces of short stories. For example, here is the short story version of how we met:Introduction: Kelle had decided to go to UW-L for college, despite the many warnings she had received about the unfriendly feelings the students had towards Liberal Arts majors. It was there that she met Chris, a former hip-hop instructor to the Irish mafia, who had decided to turn his life around by getting an education in English writing.Rising action: It was a dark and stormy night on uwl's campus. The science majors were hearding the liberal arts majors to the clock tower for a ritual sacrifice. The science folks were lighting the fires, and Chris and Kelle were trying to find a way out. They introduced themselves and shared escape ideas. It was creative brilliance at first sight.Climax: They found the weak point. The scientist had left a biologist (who happened to be double majoring in musical theater) in charge of the gate. The convinced him to see the error in his science driven ways and led all the Artists to freedom, slaughtering all the scientists in their path.Falling Action/Closing: Due to the Liberal Arts Uprising of 2008, the ritual sacrifice has forever been banned, and the science department has been struggling ever since.Also, Tumblr link: http://kelleennolan.tumblr.com

Punishment (for everyone). Enjoy! englishmajorstalking 2012-03-14 | I hope you enjoy the video--I had a lot of fun making it. I realize some of the shots are rather...strange. Forgive me, the camera is weird, I have no way to center it, and after a while, I got sick of reshooting.Also, the video apparently cut out. Hmm. That sucks. Stupid Windows Media Player. Oh well.The ending was funny. Trust me. :)
New Strings englishmajorstalking 2012-02-19 | Breathing new life into an old guitar, and hopefully, my video-making ambitions. You may recall that I mentioned having a script already written; this is not that script. That script, if it does get used, will require heavy editing which is why I didn't want use it yet. Then I wrote a second script, which this also isn't. At a certain point I needed to stop planning and just hit record. Also, most of what you saw turned out to be an exercise in futility, because the strings are the incorrect type for the guitar and I'm going to have to do the whole thing all over again.
