Funkadelic Mad Libs

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

This afternoon in creative writing we did something wayyyyy out of the box: mad libs! Melina and I took about 30 minutes to type up a little paragraph about a topic. Then we proceeded to slash out words we thought unnecessary so they would become filled with any word our clever little minds could think of. We both chortled at the silly things that these paragraphs turned into. So, I hope you enjoy my mad lib, with all the randomness compliments of Melina.

Melina Going Psychedelic

As you know, next quarter we will be traveling to an elfin destination. Chile, a country full of baby toys and air fresheners, is the grandest thing our eyeball will ever behold. The waterfalls we will be paddling off of will give your triple-shot latte such a rush. The volcanoes that will be all around us make me snooze. What if they diagnose?! I know I’m very pancake stack to be amist the Chilean culture. I can’t wait to have taste of the best camel-shape Christmas ornament they have to offer. I hear during register dietitian’s class we will have to excite through the streets, trying to find different tree houses. I hope I won’t speed walk over my words when I’m trying to speak dentures with the people. Being there with the punch-drunk group is what going to make it exceptional pain. All of us in and airport traveling to this turquoise place is going to be an experience in its own. I bet the people in the airport will give us such weird unicorns when they see our toasty marshmallows. Surely we understand a kayak isn’t something you see every shopping cart. But, a school like this isn’t something you see every brand new red dress either.

Signs, Color, and Texture of Pichilemu

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

This was a project that the New River Academy photography class did while in the sunny beach town of Pichilemu, Chile. The project required us to take photos of bright colorful signs or posters throughout the city. Also, we were told to take texture photos, that make you want to reach out and touch the object in the picture. Here are the photos that I took:

Many buildings were covered in dust and sand swept up from the dirt roads and beaches by the wind. Photo by Palmer Miller
