This may not be the dream of living out Josh Baskin's job in Big but damn if it isn't close. The CRI has been producing a show for children called "Kids Show." Up until this week I've played a pretty minor role in the show; producing songs that my coworker AJ and I perform as "PB & AJ," but I've finally stepped up to the plate and started solely producing a segment called "Big Stuff." At first I was a little hesitant because I wasn't exactly sure how to tackle it but after just deciding to shoot something and just do it I think it may be the coolest thing about my job. Check out the first segment of Big Stuff: Snow Plow. I shot, edited, voiced, animated, scored, and did everything and anything involved with this segment (Well I did have a bunch of coworkers help me yell big stuff a few times...) I'm pretty stoked about doing this thing. I think I'll do wind turbines for the next segment. Anyone got any ideas what else I shou...

So a couples weeks ago Marieta and I were having some Jimmy John's in Valley West Mall when this mother pushed her stroller up to us and started dressing her baby for going outside. It reminded me of A Christmas Story where the main character's little brother is wearing so many layers he can't put his arms down. Anywho! I kept thinking how funny little babies are and it's weird how I was once that small. After pondering that for a couple seconds I got to thinking why do people stop growing? Seems like poor planning. If people continued growing throughout their lives I think elders would be respected much more. Who is revered the most? Really tall people. You just kind of respect that this person is so huge they could crush you if they wanted to. With the way the world is set up right now kids often grow taller than their parents, and without physically looking up at someone I think respect and admiration is kind of lost in the process. I mean imagine if your 18 years ol...

Buy a snow blower-well, if you live in the midwest that is. What stupid luck. We move back to Iowa, buy a house, and within our first month of home-ownership the state sees the worst snow fall in my lifetime combine with blizzard winds. Not fun. By my count I have shoveled out 7 driveways and the street (thanks living in a new neighborhood) all within the past 4 days. Good times. I may sound like a whiny little girl but when it's all said & done... I kind of enjoy the shoveling, I hate the sitting at home. Driving to work from Des Moines to Oskaloosa is pretty dangerous when the state can barely keep the streets clean. The streets should be clean by tomorrow, which means I'm back on the clock. Let's hope Sunday forecast of freezing rain is unfounded.

We are coming up on the Film Review special at work and Jacob had mentioned that he was considering putting together a "Best of the Decade" since they are popping up around the interweb. Initially I was against it because the decade truly ends in 2011... however including 2000 allows me to drop in some of my favorite films and I love lists (who doesn't?) First things first; this list will probably change in like 5 years when I finally see all the flicks I've missed over the last two or three years. Now... chow on this: P@'s Top Ten Films of the 00's 1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) 2) Almost Famous (2000) 3) DiG! (2004) 4) Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) 5) Once (2008) 6) Lost in Translation (2005) 7) Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) 8) Inglorious Basterds (2009) 9) Snatch (2000) 10) Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
