Like Casey said, I started my first class at UCCS on Monday. The title of the class is Mass Media/Mass Culture. It’s a pretty interesting class so far, although a majority of the class (myself included) fell asleep during the documentary today. My instructor is from California and went to UCLA to film school. He has worked for Capitol Records, Paramount Studios, CBS, and various other companies, most notably Deep Space Nine. He offered to show us any props or scripts that he had from the show in his office. The class ends next Friday. The only things I have to do are: show up, write a six page research paper on a media topic of our interest, and take the final. It’s keeping my days pretty busy.
John has booked his hotel room for Vegas. Now all of the family that has shown interest are booked! Anyone else who is coming needs to book soon cause the rates are going up and it’s gonna be a lot of fun!
We just finished watching About Schmidt which was actually pretty good. Yesterday we rented Just Married (decent), Dude, Where’s My Car? (funny at times), About Schmidt, and Tears of the Sun (haven’t watched yet). Just Married wasn’t “just terrible” like I had heard BUT it was only OK. I wanted so much to like it more because of who was in it (Ashton & Brittany). I guess the only thing we’ll need to buy from Best Buy before the week is up is Narc. Our DVD purchasing has slowed for the most part. That’s all for now…
