Hiya...
I knew I said I would post the day after classes start and here we are a week afterward, but I got so busy that I just sort of didn't bother. lol. I had work to do and I had to go to work and so on and so forth. Not a big deal.
So with one week of college under my belt I feel pretty good admittedly. I like my English Comp class. It's hard and a challange, but I feel I'm up to it. My TV Production class has been interesting, but my professor made a mistake in movie history and you know me, I know my movie shit. He claimed that movies were just beginning to be colorized in the 50s so TV had to keep up when in actuallity movies were being filmed in color since 1939 with films such as Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Robin Hood, Leave Her to Heaven, The Secret Garden, It Happened in Brooklyn, Anchors Aweigh among others. Plus, movies had been partially colorized since the mid thirties.
Of course it would be an easy misconception that Gone With The Wind and The Wizard of Oz were the only ones, because the 40s was the Noir period in which most movies were black and white for effect, which was, in a sense, the entire Noir movement.
In actuallity TV got into color to compete with movies, correct, but not because of the movies just getting color, but because the movie theaters were beginning to show action epics such as Ben-Her, King Solomon's Mines among others. Long movies and adventure tecni-color adventure films that nobody would ever want to see in a TV because it was too big and colorful for a small home television set. THAT is why TV decided to try color, not for the reason my professor said.
I so wanted to raise my hand, but I didn't.
My Photography class is interesting too. I go again tonight. I had off yesterday for Labor Day and I took off of work today. I go back Thursday-Sunday. I work the whole weekend, but only once and a while. It doesn't bother me.
Kamelot postponed their concert. *Sad face* Their lead singer got sick and innitially they were going to go on, but decided today that they had better wait for Roy to get back so they can give us the real experience of the band. While I'm partially grateful, because Roy is my main reason for loving Kamelot, I did so want to go. Now I'll just have to wait and get tickets for the rescheduled show when it's announced, hopefully in a time I don't have to miss a class to see them at at the same venue.
That's about all. Bye!
