SPLAT Report

Okay, so I'm not sticking to the schedule! But I'm nervous about Halloween! And we're started! We've got some good ideas/pictures etc. - should be able to post a picture next week.

Next Wednesday - Death Note Jeopardy - the prize - a highly coveted Death Note card that we plucked from the 13th manga.

We'll continue designing our parade 'costumes', and I'll bring the 'noodles'!

More work on our GURPS, too. Today we watched a bit of Daedelus and Icarus. Sad story. More Gods and Goddesses next week.

And I am thrilled and delighted! New Septimus Heap is now being processed! Syren!!!

Off to a Great Start!

There's a Link list below the Schedule on the right. I figured out how to link to my playlist , so I'll do that for each SPLAT (they'll be listed by date). But that doesn't include some of the videos you showed us . . . It does include the face painting video I showed you to get you inspired to create for our NBC characters, plus another one featuring the same face painter. Your assignment: take a NBC character - NOT Ooogie, Sally, or Jack! - and design a face paint for it/him/her/them.

Congratulations to Hailey for her first video!

Good job on the WTQ Zeitgeist. Congratulation to the winning team: the Watchmen!

What we didn't get to: we didn't get to the trailers: for New Moon, Alice, Vampire's Assistant, Percy Jackson . . . and we didn't get to the Book Trailers for the same movies. They are on the playlist. Check them out. Good? Bad? Dumb? Interesting?

Next week: Gocks, Gurps and more . . .

New Colors

What do you think?? I think they go well with the new banner created for SPLAT by Hailey Ameling! (Thanks, Hailey!)

Schedule is Posted. Signs have been delivered to the schools, along with schedules. There will be more schedules available at SPLAT Wednesday.

I'm excited. We are going to have fun this year. We always have fun, every year!
