One Short Night, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals
It's way too late for me. Sundance movies tend to be shown really late, or really early. But when they change my perspective on life, it's all worth it. I loved tonight's documentaries and plan to blog about them.
But I digress. Here's the Readers Digest version about how you can view a full length Sundance documentary and its accompanying panel with the directors and subjects of the film:
"Life in a Day" will be broadcast in HD and streaming live Today (Jan 27, 2010) at 8 PM EST (6 PM MST)
From their press release,
" 'Life in a Day' is a user-generated feature-length documentary film, shot on a single day, July 24, 2010. Supported by YouTube, it enlisted the global community to capture a moment of their lives on camera. “Life in a Day” brings together the most compelling footage into a 90-minute film, crafted by Macdonald, Executive Producer Ridley Scott and their team, to offer a unique experience that shows, in beautiful and, at moments, harrowing honesty, what it is like to be alive on Earth today.
"

Human Nature, Michael Jackson
Here's an easy way to get your fix of the Sundance Film Festival without leaving your house. There are a lot of the competitors from the Short Film competition on Youtube or Vimeo.
First up is one of my favorites. I am mesmerized by the sharp and witty humor the creators used. It's pretty genius.

The Show Goes On, Lupe Fiasco
One of the best times of the year is coming up.
It's time forUtah Park City to get artsy. The 2011 Sundance Film Festival is almost here!
Sundance movies are not for everyone. Some of the content, or the way the movie is portrayed is not going to appeal to everyone. For me it's works of art, and an outlet for them. BUT if you look hard enough there are plenty of diamonds in the rough.
Some of the recent diamonds are: (500) Days of Summer, Napoleon Dynamite, An Education, Joan Rivers--A Piece of Work, Little Miss Sunshine, Man on Wire, American Teen
For my loyal blog readers, I want to share a little bit of the creative work with you! Surprisingly a lot of Sundance movies/shorts will be going viral this year. For example you can stream a full documentary and panel about how several people live for 24 hours. There's also a short that's full of shell-fully good charm that went viral in 2010.
In the coming days, I will post the where and how-tos on these!

Animal, Neon Trees
Can I let you in on a little confession?
I really love the Jazz bear. . When he walks onto the court my face lights up and my eyes follow him where ever he goes. I think it's hilarious that he can mess with people and we all just laugh, beacause HE is the BEAR!
Thanks to a friend I saw this today. It's pretty awesome, and offers a lesson to be learned; don't mess with the Utah Jazz Bear!
Body-check this minute viral video out:

Country Strong, Gwyneth Paltrow
Today two things bother me, and one just happens to to be one of the many bad offenses Ke$ha does daily.

| Bad questions look like this... |
I honestly hate when people preface a conversation with, "Sooo, I got a question..." WHO CARES IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, I RATHER BE ASKED WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW!
In addition to this, I have grown tired of indirect questions and answers. As a customer service representative I talk to a lot of people, trying to find out information. One of my pet peeves, is when I ask a simple question:
"Are we shipping the order to Address X?" Then comes the non-sensical flood.
"Well, I don't know. I think I want it to come to my home address but Trixie said we could ship it to her. Ship it wherever you want."
Usually I will ask the same question, "So we are shipping the order to Address X, correct?"
"Yeah that should be fine.."
IS IT SO AWFUL TO JUST TELL ME YES OR NO?
Also some questions are not even an inquiry and I feel bad for answering them.
"Just so you know, If you are in the area, Target has a great deal on cookie dough."
"…Are you asking if I should pick some up?"
"That's great thanks! I owe you!"
"…Are you asking if I should pick some up?"
"That's great thanks! I owe you!"
In the past, I have been guilty of these behaviors, but like a Tree-logger, I am choppin' this bad habit down from my life.
Let's become a bit bolder and grab a hold of the questions we ask and answer. Now I have some habit cutting to do, TIMBER…
