Review: Week 13

This week, I couldn't choose between my two favorite elements from the announcements, so I'm going with two.

The first, up above, comes from Saturday's announcements; it's such a clever way of playing on words and perspective, and an encouraging reminder besides that.

My second pick comes from Sunday's announcements:

It's crazy enough to look back at how things have changed in a relatively short amount of time, but it's even crazier to actually sit and watch them change. Kind of exciting, and kind of sad, too.

Week 12 Review: Lake Monsters

Even though I've been watching the announcements this week to plan for this post, I dropped my other choice of favorite announcement feature once I saw this chart today of Lake Monsters of America. If something involves monsters, legends, or unsolved mysteries in any way, there's a pretty good chance I'm going to love it: Supernatural and The X-Files are some of my favorite stories ever, and I also dig the heck out of the Buzzfeed Blue YouTube series "Unsolved Mysteries."

I've never been to Lake Thunderbird, but I love the idea of a "Giant Killer Octopus" chilling out at the lakebed there, and the other monsters on the chart look like a ton of fun, too.

Except for the Goat Man in Lake Worth, Texas. I might pass on that one.

Week 10 Review: Interior Spring Cleaning

This week, my favorite tidbit actually came from today’s announcements, and I’d actually saved it to my computer before I decided to do this assignment and realized I’d need to hunt it down again. I’ve loved everything I’ve seen so far by Grant Snider, because the way he playfully mixes metaphor and reality is really amusing; this cartoon is no different. At this point in the semester, classes are also crazier and messier for me than any others have ever been, so the tidying up of the interior life was an especially timely reminder.
