PLANK'D

What you see above is my WEDNESDAY PUDDLE PLANK and HOMEWORK STATION PLANK.  What is planking?  Well, let me tell you:






Australia knows how to start the party.  My good friend Mr. Stuart Weir and his pals at his house in La Mirada viewed this Australian video and took a look around the the US of A.  No planking to be seen.  Mr. Stuart Weir and his pals spread the disease, QUICK.  Before long, planking was all I was seeing/reading about on the facebook and pictures were popping up like Whack-A-Mole.  I think it's great, relatively safe, except for the gentleman that died planking (I guess it's only safe if you want it to be safe), and it's hilarious.  I stated earlier in the week that my first PLANK would be Wednesday.  Today is Wednesday. SO BEGINS.


In other news, Mawwiage Films (http://mawwiagefilms.com) has been busy!  I now introduce to you Matt & Emily Mongeon, tying the knot April 9, 2011 in San Diego, California.  Let me tell you, you're in for a treat.  This wedding was OUT OF CONTROL, so much energy, so much heart, so much FUN! I've never seen the dance floor erupt like it did at this fantastic wedding.

ENJOY!

And here's something: you may have seen last week our wedding video from Scotland (If not: mawwiagefilms.com/ichikawa).  Well now, I present to you, our Mawwiage Films documentary.  Throughout the trip, we took footage of anything and everything, documenting this trip in the fullest.  This is what came out of it.  WORD TO THE WISE: it's kind of long, almost 18 minutes.  Think of it this way: you'll be going from California to Scotland and back in less than 18 minutes.  That's flyin' folks.  Plus, our trip was NUTTY, so definitely worth the experience.

And that's it, friends.  Little writing, lots of watching.  I hope you enjoy it.  You may have already seen it, if that's the case, I'm pumped.  If you haven't? I'm pumped too because now you have the opportunity to see it.  You're the best.



Have a delightful morning tomorrow.

The Reds

Oh boy howdy, do times roll.  Day's are crazy, weeks are crazy, months are crazy, years are crazy.  You may ask "What are you talking about?" and I may answer "I don't really have a clue, I'm just kind of blabbering."  Let's just put it this way, life is flying at 1,000,001 miles an hour, it's wild.  Just recently, the Fall 2011 class list was released so naturally we all began sorting out our schedule for next semester.  Didn't this semester just start? Yes. So fast, so fast.  Next semester is bound to be an interesting one, I'm looking forward to it.  I'm also going to learn how to cook, like, well.  We're going to have a kitchen in our apartment, so we, the 4 of us, are going to become culinary chefs and make some foods.  Now we just have to see if we'll actually do it.  Top Ramen may replace us top chefs.  Perserverance.


So today I am spending most of the day sitting behind the computer.  It's okay.  That is what happens when you major in film and minor in graphic design.  I'm wearing sweats today for the comfortability factor.

As a segway, Mawwiage Films has been busy!  You know we went to Scotland two weeks ago and then last week we had the privilege of capturing the now Mr. and Mrs. Matt Mongeon wedding in beautiful La Jolla.  Great experience?  I'd say so.  Plus we had the pleasure of working with Nate Goins, a good friend from the Hume days.  Want a few teasers?  Well here you go, here's a few teasers:

There you have it.  Expect another one next week!  It's really been a blasting working with these couples, they are all so unique!



I've got a few videos for you know, hope you like music, music drives.  This first video is just simply incredible.  Don't know how long it took, don't know how they did it, the end result?  Beautiful.






That was beautiful.  Know what else is beautiful?  This video.  This is Eric Whitacre's "Sleep" performed by 2052 separate people throughout the world, performing via their webcams on youtube.  This video/song is INCREDIBLE.  I've listened to it 10 times at least in the last few days.  YESSS:






And here's Eric Whitacre himself talking about the project.  Incredible. Simply incredible.







And that's it.  Sorry if the content was kind of lacking today, video video video!  Nothing wrong with that, yeah? 



I hope you have a marvelous day.  Enjoy the sun, enjoy the wind, enjoy life, drink some water, hydrate.
