i like what jesterladay does, keeping track of her hearts throughout the week in one album.
i also want to get back to doing re-RECs. i heart a lot of RECords during the week - there are many awesome and inspirational works posted here each week.
by keeping them together, i hope to be able to go through them easier at the end of the week for re-RECs :)

I wrote a dance song. So... Dance.
-------------------Lyrics--------------------------
I've got arms. I've got legs and I've got an ass that I can shake. shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake!
You got lips. You got hips. you got a really pretty face. shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake!
We got bodies. we got time and we're both really drunk on wine. Shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake!
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah BLAH blah blah! shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake!
I think this is the fastest I have ever written/recorded a song!
kouralilly challenged me to adapt one of her writings into a song...I was really inspired by her "...tiny story" piece, and I adapted the words into French.
So, kouralilly, I present to you...a tiny story about a broken heart <3
Thank you for inspiring me...it was like a flash of lightning!
La rue de l'amour // The street of love
Est plain de clotures // is full of fences
Pour trouver sees bras // and to find his arms
Il les faut surmonter // I have to overcome them
Mais le vent dans les arbres // but the wind in the trees
Peut cacher mon secret // can hide my secret
[Tu me manque // I miss you]
Je jeux pas outlier // I can't forget you
Sa voix comme l'eau // His voice, like water
Murmurait mon nom // whispered my name
J'attendait les echos // I awaited the echoes
Mais j'attendait en vain // but I waited in vain
Les larmes dans mes yeux // the tears in my eyes
A brouille ma mémoire // have clouded my memory
Et mon coeur, il meurt de chagrin // and my heart is broken and dying
La void dans ma tete // the voice in my head
Demande que je l'ecoute // begs me to listen
Mais la void de mon coeur // but the voice in my heart
Nie la vérité // denies the truth
Que toi mon amour // that you, my love,
Tu reviendras plus // will not come back
[Tu me manques // I miss you]
Et je te dois outlier // And I have to forget you
Tes bras sont le chemin // Your arms are the way
Pour trouver le soleil // to find the sun
Mais dans ces ombres // But in these shadows
Je dois habiter // I must live
Mais le vent dans les arbres // but the wind in the trees
Peut cacher mon secret // can hide my secret
[Tu me manque // I miss you]
Je peux pas oublier // I cannot forget
got inspired by the vintage title card design and i desided to animate it, what do you guys think?

TURN OFF YOUR SPEAKERS! (if you don't want to hear traffic noise, "atchoum" from me, "bêêêê" from the sheep, and music that came from the barn...)
This is your fire star, Kouralilly!
At the first shot, I took several pictures, but it blews a bit, so fire was going everywere and I wasn't able to capture the star shape. The one I use as icon is the best of 42 pictures I took. And I'm not a photograph... so I decided to take a video! And it allows you to see fire movements!
But I was perched at the top of a stool, without any tripod, so the image is moving... Maybe I should try it again and fix my camera if anyone would like to use it in accelerate for remix.
If anybody has new fire challenge for me, I'm ready for it!

I love this poem by wirrow (and I'm so happy he did his own voice over for it:) I had to put some music with it and this piece by megancarnes fit perfectly.
I'm going to work on a video for this, but I hope other people do as well. It lends itself PERFECTLY to visuals and I'm sure we have the REsources:)

Really love the text by kouralilly and decided to flesh out the tune brewing in my head. It's not exactly what I was thinking, but I don't think it's too bad. I don't know - it's just different.
I'm really looking for feedback because honestly? I can't be super obective right now. If anyone wants them, I can upload the stems, but it's just my ukulele, me and my viola. Nothing much.
and on my last listen, I noticed that the ending got messed up a bit with the timing. I'll fix that sometime.

Our new "Little Red Riding Hood" paper cutout book is almost ready to be published! I would like to include a section in the book that explicitly speaks to the feminsit thoughts and themes revolving around this fairy tale.
WRITERS: Write a brief statement (1-2 sentences, or a short paragraph) regarding the feminist themes found in LRRH. This statement can refer to either the original Brothers Grimm story or my adapted screnplay. JulesKD and hopiamanipopcorn both have RECords resourced below that are excellent examples of what I'm looking for.
You can focus your writing on how LRRH relates to the following:
* Being a girl
* Feminism
* Female sexuality
* Straying from "the path"
* Male-dominated society
VISUAL ARTISTS: Find a piece of writing regarding LRRH and visually interpret it with an illustration, a photo, or a combination of images.
I'm really stoked to see this book come together! We'll be sending it off to Iceland very soon to be published.
Thanks again!
<3

Ok, this version is copyright violation free. I hope everybody understands that I did not remix with an image that is a violation on purpose and as soon as it was brought to my attention I began to address it. I really love annejumps illustration of Red that I used in my previous remix, but I went a different way for this so that the wolf and Red went together. I couldnt find a wolf to go with Anne's Red.

I really loved JulesKD's piece and wanted to try something with it! :) Although, these articles in the papers usually irritate me and I never thought I would be making one myself. I can also imagine other columns in the Times to make it more like a newspaper: "Princess Refuses to Kiss Frog Despite Seven Hours of Friendship", "Heroic Prince Saves Chimneysweep By Proposing Marriage", "Woman Refuses to Clean Up After Dawarfs Despite Free Room and Board: When Will the Ungratefulness End?" etc. etc.

These run a little long, but I have a lot! Of! Feelings! (Also I was stuck in a hotel room and bored.)
And yes, I re-rec'd something that while I was editing, got featured, but I liked it and I discuss a slightly different version, though the same things I say apply to both versions, so whatever. Let's just pretend this all works.
EDIT: For those of you curious, the name of the cafe I refer to is called Roland Park Bagels. Their smoothies are delicious. I have ordered a muffin this morning, so reviews of that are pending.
