In Which Steff has an interesting Month

Steff — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 12:17:01 +0000

Okay, so, obviously I am the worst at my New Year’s resolution to be an active blogger.

In my defense, it has been an epic month.

For better or worse, my attention has been severely divided. March only seems as though it will be more intense. It seems as though the Gods of Irony are back in full swing now that the dregs of winter appear to be on the outs officially. (Perhaps the cold does not suit their tastes).

Either way, I am still here.

In Which Rupert Graves is Still Strikingly Handsome

Well, 2012 is off to a striking start.

Vacation has been wonderful. I’ve been working a lot at the Children’s Museum, watching lots of films and reading. (I’ve actually just picked up Mistress of the Vatican by Eleanor Herman (author of the fantastic Sex with Kings and Sex with the Queen!) Fantastic.

I recently returned from a trip home for the holidays. It was excellent. (Sidenote, while I was home I cut my hair by about 18 inches.)

Also, I can’t stop listening/dancing/tapping my feet to this song:

Computer issues solved and the semester is over.

I’ve got a new project that I’m working on with my friend Chris. We’re going to pick it up again after the holiday, but here’s a preview:

Searching For Sammy Intro (ROUGH CUT) from steff sanchez on Vimeo.

Also, I found this and got nostalgic. I had a pink one, and it was awesome. (Sidenote: maybe childhood obesity would be less of a problem if these were still cool.)

In Which Steff Writes Her 100th Post

Well, this is officially the 100th post of my blog! It only took two odd years, but huzzah!

So, there has been loads of radio silence on my end. Unfortunately, my hard drive recently self-destructed so I’ve been without a computer for about two weeks. (Thank goodness Matt could lend me a spare laptop!) Hopefully, I’ll be able to get a new drive soon.

Here’s a video that I made for my film form class. It’s just an editing exercise. Everyone in the class was given the same footage and told to edit it however we wanted. This is mine. (Note: I don’t own the footage or the music, it’s just for class, so okay):

In Which Steff is Building a Spiricom

Hello! Yay! I have finally, finally, finally managed to catch up with all of my homework in lieu of my crazy work/school schedule. Midterms are finally over and I’m now in the eye of the storm before finals. Project proposals have been submitted, let the intensity begin!

To celebrate my brief window of a breath, here is some more Feminist Ryan Gosling:

Yay for Joss Whedon and his use of non-heteronormative characters!!

YES

On another strange note, for my Dark Media final I will be creating a soundscape of communications from the beyOoOoOoOoOnd using found Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) recordings and ones that I record myself. Spooky ghosts!

Whoa. I just looked at the clock and have a rogue half an hour. UKELELE TIME!
