TV shows

I don't know if this is just me who feels this, but when I watch a TV show and a lot of the episodes in continued order I feel like I get into the show way more than I should. Before the start of the semester, I started a show and when I first started watching it, I thought about it a lot and couldn't wait to watch the next episode. Now that I'm pretty far into the series I still watch it, but it's not as much. It's so interesting to me how TV shows, especially those ones on Netflix, can just get you hooked. Even though I love netflix and it's so convenient to have all the seasons and episodes sometimes there's a downside to it because every episode you want to watch more and more.

Happy

My friend and I have a thing where if we hear a really good song that we love and think the other will like it, we share it with each other. This past week, my friend sent me an email with a new song to listen to. I fell in love with it! It's called Happy and it's by Pherrell. It's such a happy song and just makes you want to get up and dance around! I have listened to it so many times already and I don't think you'll be disappointed if you listen to it too! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM

Perspectives

I read an article today about a mom who has six kids and the reasons why it was great to have six kids. I thought this article was so cool and I enjoyed reading about her opinion about having that amount of children. One thing about media that is so cool is it's open to everyone's perspective and opinions. Some of these things we can learn from and some of these things can be bad but I think it's really cool that there is just so many things out there that we can learn from. I enjoyed reading this article because this mom is talking about something that is different from the way of life these days. People don't have more than 3 kids. It was cool to see how she feels about having 6 kids and I really liked reading her article about the positive things about having 6 children. It made my perspective change. http://www.modernmom.com/bc7d2082-3b35-11e3-be8a-bc764e04a41e.html

Music in TV shows and Movies

This past week I have been realizing how important music is in tv and movie shows. There are certain songs that are played that provide the exact emotion that is needed for each scene. I have been watching a TV show this past week and have been listening to the words of the songs in the background and I have never realized how many songs are related to the scene that is playing out. It made me realize how much time goes into choosing the music and how creative it is. Music is so important in movies and tv shows and if it wasn't included than those things wouldn't be the same.
