films

Rebecca spent most of this week programming and finishing her project at the last possible minute. It was especially tricky because she had mutual on Wednesday evening. For mutual, they did a "cultural heritage" night and each girl brought in something that related to thier cultural heritage. Rebecca decided to bring in a buttercreme cake and talk about Germany. The cake was a huge success (one of the girls wanted the recipe) and I only got a piece by luck.

Friday night, we went to BYU's student film festival "Final Cut". This is our last year that we are able to go. Again, most of the films were horrible but you don't go to see a lot of good films, you go to try and find the few gems that might be there. I have decided that the film students are really good at what they do here. The actors in the films aren't so great. But where the films really break down is the writing. The screenwriters are absolutely horrible and their dialogue never flows...I groaned through most of the films.

But a couple of them are really quite ingenious.

We have learned that our cat is scared silly of the noise our heater makes. She knows when the heater is about to come on [a small noise right before the big rushing noise of air] and races to hide under the bed. However, since we usually shut our door when we leave, she's had to find other places to hide, which aren't as good as under the bed. [Like under a chair. Not quite as good cover, but she thinks it is safer there from the heater monster.]

Yesterday, we drove out to Lincoln Point (on Utah Lake) to put up another variation on a sculpture project we've been working on. I got wet and nasty in the water and Rebecca was cold, but we had a lot of fun. We came home, watched a couple of movies [while working on homework in the living room] and then went to bed. Nothing terribly exciting. But as this semester starts to come to a close (is it already that time?!), we'll become more and more busy with school. [no one told me it was going to get MORE busy!! Oh dear... - beck]

Have a good week!
