I found out this evening one of my mentors, one of the people that taught me how to see film, and love it pasted way this weekend. Mark LaPore was one of the 4 film professors I had the honor to study under at Massachusetts College of Art. I’m still in a little shock about the phone call I received a few hours ago, and don’t really know what I want to say about him at this point. I do know that I owe a lot of they way I view things is due to him. I did want to post something, as a sort of memorial for him. His Faculty Bio on the Mass Art website reads:

This was only part of who he was. He was a teacher, a husband, and a father. He will be missed.

This is what happens when I am trapped in whoknowswhynot's place waiting for him to come home from work! I post a lot! A LOT!

It's only because I had good things to work with tonight. In regards to other good things. Tonight "WE" signed out rental agreement with our new Landladies! Can't really believe that we are going to be moving in together in a few weeks. Will be nice to have a place of our own, and a place to go home to (and not have to remember if he's coming to me or I'm coming to him)! These nights when he works I think I'll feel more inclined to do stuff, since I'll be around my own things. I'm looking forward to him coming home after I've had a quiet evening by myself.

whoknowswhynot tells me it's the first step in a long line of steps were taking together. I'm looking forward to what Smallville has in store for me! And most of all I'm happy he's the one holding my hand.

Current Mood: happy

I try to keep up with my Friends and their lives, but with all that is going on it's hard. I have 2 friends that have web sites, which I try to check often. Himmer (his name is Steve, but we call him Himmer since we have 2 Steve's in the group) has Onepotmeal which I enjoy popping in on. He's a writer and teaches at Emerson College in Boston.

I'm happy to say he recently won a "60 Second Story Competition". Check it out, it's short and sweet (being only 60 Seconds) ~ I made me smile.

I have been waiting so long for this. August 26th cannot come soon enough! The perfection that Gilliam places in his films...the amazing detail is what movie magic is all about!

Current Mood: excited

I was all excited when I saw the link for this one, but with no returning cast or the mastermind behind the first David E. Kelley I doubt it will be anything that even makes it into a film can!

Oh well!

Which Batman Villain Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I think all little girls grow up looking for their "Prince Charming". It's from all those story books, and disney movies. I've realize that I haven't been looking for my Prince, but for my Superman!

I'm not sure how, but I managed to find him. He doesn't live is Smallville, KS, but might as well be called that in someways. He is the only person to make me feel safe. He cares of me, loves me, and make each day we're together a little more amazing then the last. I found my Superman, now I just have to get him to tell me his secret!

Thank you Smallville, for everything you do for me. I love you!

Current Mood: loved

I would like to put out a general thank you, for all the Mother's out there. The ones that take the time to love, cherish, and nuture their children. You're the reason that there is hope for a better tomorrow, and happier future. Though today is your day, take a moment to remember that everything you do shapes the world of tomorrow, and your simple human touch to a child means can mean more then a thousand happy meals, trips to Toys-R-Us, and ice cream sandwiches.

To my Mother & Grandmother thank you for teaching me, and molding me into the woman I am.
