Sound Bit

Sounds of Maturity



Youtube has to process this first... so forthcomming

Joe, its the night before everything is due and I was going through my blog and noticed that Youtube made my sound bit unavailable. I'm not entirely sure why. What I did for the sound bit was read my Yoko Ono poem and then reverse the sound track. =( I'm not sure what I can do about it this late in the game.

Alaskan Polling

Political polling was mostly accurate, except in Alaska. Palin's presence drew Alaskans to the booths the would have normally not voted in this election. Alaska's turnout decreased significantly from last election to this election.

Car Ride

I think the three different perspectives given from the car ride were telling of the concept of the everyday. The first time around, one could not understand what the woman was saying, and so we were allowed to let more mundane aspects of the film grab our attention (sounds of the city, appearances of the woman and driver, etc.) It allowed us to analyze their everyday as they probably did not see it (as they were somewhat unaware of their surroundings due to being occupied with more immediate concerns). This reminds us of the everyday; the things we miss about our own car rides.

On the second and third trips we were allowed to peer into the woman's and driver's immediate worlds, respectively. This gives contrast to the first trip where our attention was on forgotten, typically-unnoticed things.

When I drive I'm totally submerged in my own thoughts, usually. Or, when the radio is playing a good song I pay attention to that.. maybe sing along a little bit. This film makes me wonder what I'm missing when I drive. Are there things worth noticing that are normally under my radar?
