The Radio City Christmas Spectacular 2011
The last time I saw the Radio City Christmas Spectacular I was 12 years old.
Quite a lot has changed since then. This years show is called, The Rockettes Magical Journey and showcases an amazing new spin on the timeless holiday classic.
New 3D effects are incorporated into the show and coincide with spectacular dance numbers. Everyone in the audience gets a pair of 3D glasses so they can see the various 3D action sequences and participate in the live action adventure game. The company and product placement during the show was a bit shameless but great for a good chuckle.
Each sequence was perfectly timed and executed with the utmost precision. The "parade of wooden soldiers" scene was phenomenal and dates back to 1933. 18 dancers wobble across the stage with alarming accuracy while dressed as toy soldiers.
I was a bit perturbed by the live camels and the lonely looking donkey that were led across the stage. What caught me totally by surprise was the Hollywoodesque, sensationalized nativity scene at the end.
I was slightly saddened to see Christmas so blatantly packaged and commercialized with singing Santa's and glittering dancing girls but what else could you expect? This is New York.
Over all the show was great.

Quit Calling Me Squirrel
by: ksmcorbin
For my English composition class we had to create a video on Xtranormal.com.
Using two characters, we had to make them discuss one of the readings we discussed in class.
I picked, The Meanings of A Word, by Gloria Naylor.
This is my video....Enjoy!

I can see Your Halo Halo Halo
This past weekend I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
to see a new exhibit entitled, Heroic Africans.
It was a great exhibit showcasing various masks and iconic sculptures from
Angola, Nigeria, Ghana and Zambia, just to name a few.
What continues to perplex me is the no photography policy that some exhibits have.
I can understand the no flash photography rule.
The endless amounts of bright flashes damages the artwork.
But taking a picture with your cellphone should be allowed.
The quality is low, you can take off the flash so it does not
damage the work and you can have the phone silent.
Easy as pie!
Having MET security follow you around and give you the side eye is not the move.
Anyway, outside the museum was an ad for another exhibit that consisted of a beautiful mandala and was a perfect opportunity to take a GPOY.
