Blog #8- LEO WINS!!!!

I watched the Oscars this year just to see Leo win an Oscar. I was disappointed that there were only 2 or 3 movies throughout the entire night that were not rated R (Inside Out, Bridge of Spies, 007 Spectre and probably some others that I don't remember).
So, I didn't see Leo's movie The Revenant but I was happy to see Leonardo DiCaprio finally win an Oscar!

 Also, I loved Lady Gaga's song supporting victims of sexual abuse. Good for her standing up for survivors, and making a stand!

Blog #7-Fear in the Media

When I was a little girl, I watched the movie "What Lies Beneath" with my brothers. I don't remember the plot or the story line at all, but I do remember a scene where the young woman is being attacked in the bath tub, and she is trying to unplug the tub by pulling the string attached to the plug with her toes!! She can't get a hold of it, and honestly, I don't even remember anything past that. 

This has stuck with me ever since, and each time I take a bath, I make sure that I can unplug the tub in case I get attacked. How crazy is that?! Never realized that is had that much of an impact until our last lecture. 

Any crazy stories for you guys?

Blog #6-Pandora

Recently, I began to listen to Pandora when I am cooking a meal. I have discovered several stations that have taken me back to my childhood, and I can remember all of the lyrics! This reminded me of our music lecture and how lyrics have such an impact on your behavior. I am grateful for this, because I am able to remember certain friends, places, and events that I attended and I can remember the music. It's amazing!!

What is your favorite pandora station?

Blog #4- If I were a song...

Last week's lecture about music and the media was extremely powerful to me. I thought about it, and 2 songs came to my mind.
#1-Little Moments by Brad Paisley
#2-That's the Good Stuff by Kenny Chesney
Even if you HATE country music, I recommend listening to one or both of these songs.
