Bat-mitzvah

For fear of offended someone, I'm not going to put any photos from tonight as my profile picture on facebook but I thought I'd give you guys a little taste of a religious party we had tonight.

Two of my friends, Olivia and Marie-Claire have been joking about having a bat-mitzvah all semester. I'm not sure why that joke started but alas it's been go

ing on quite a while. Well, since we have 28 days until we graduate we decided we better have it soon or we were never going to have it. So tonight we had a "bat-mitzvah" for them. In reality, it was just an excuse for everyone to dress up as a particular religious stereotype and bring a dessert or appetizer. I ended up filming the whole thing and interviewing people for my third film project for a class. We'll see how that goes but until then here are some pictures :)

The coming of age girls-- guests of honor

Achmed & Sanaa from Saudi Arabia

The Cruises (Tom, Katie, and little Suri)

The whole gang- Jim Jones, Mormons, Hindus, Wiccans, Salvationists, Amish, Zen Buddhists, Nihilist, New Age, a Jewish Bishop (not sure how that works), and a few Christians. We did well, if I do say so myself.

I love Asbury

I was starving at work and every ad on the computer kept being pictures of food. Cookies. Huge burgers. Smoothies. Ugh, I couldn't take it. A guy heard me talking to my computer about the delicious looking cookies and being hungry and came up and said something along the lines of, "I came up to find someone but couldn't find them. Do you want the cookie I was going to give them?" (is that even a question, yes and thank-you sooo much!)

Real life. I got a cookie when I least expected it from a guy I don't know that well. I love Asbury.

Throwing it back Old School

I should just be a secretary for the rest of my life. That's all I've done for the last 4 years at various places across campus. Anyways, my new gig is at the new media communications building helping out the professors. I really like it because I feel like I'm now friends with all of them so it makes it enjoyable helping them out with their various projects. The other day I got the opportunity to assemble a mannequin and dress him in the original Dean Jones jumpsuit from "Herbie the Lovebug". Dean Jones never graduated college but happen to go to Asbury for a short time so he gave us this suit from Disney. It was really cool. Disney even suggested what mannequin would be work the best

Fortunately, the corner where I work is surrounded by windows so when I had trouble getting him dressed, everyone could see me struggle getting the suit over his butt haha

The professor kept saying this should be my date for the night

There's props and costumes from all different movies, sports events, and shows in our new building usually from alums who have worked on the various sets. This is part of the Berlin Wall from 24 season 7. There's a lot of other cool stuff too.
