Broken laptop and some photography shots

I haven't been posting as much lately because my laptop has been in the repair shop. It's odd because I didn't realize how much I actually relied on it until it was gone. Now I can't watch Netflix or post things--except for occasionally on a small phone screen. But alas, my weeks have been filled with school work and this weekend, a bit of fun which consisted of sore legs from dancing too much, full stomachs, and Oz The Great and Powerful.

In my personal opinion the movie was nothing like I thought it would be. It wasn't particularly shocking or adventurous. Instead, it was cheesy and the wicked witch of the west was lame. Perhaps I was expecting to enter a theater with fear and excitement, instead I entered the world of children. Which isn't usually bad, but I mean it in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Firstly, there were children there, but they were younger than I expected. One child was two years old and screaming within the first few minutes and the rest were loud and apparently did not learn how to act in public. One father brought seven children with him and one of them was the screaming baby. He left the theater to console his crying baby, but left his other 6 children (the oldest being  around 7 years old). These children continued to run around the theater yelling that they had to go to the bathroom or that they wanted more candy. To be honest, I was on the verge of flipping out. I paid 15 bucks to see this movie in 3D and I couldn't hear a thing. But when I could focus what was on the screen was not that much better. Mila Kunis as the the wicked witch was not appealing and definitely not believable. As for James Franco aka "Oz," he was cheesy and lame. Zach Braff was the only lovable character in the entire film as the odd little monkey side kick. I rate the movie a 5.5 out of 10.

Also for my photo class my recent project was close up shots and this was my favorite:

I will blog more once my laptop is back in a week.

Cheers!
