Fueling my Soul

10 Jul

I wanted a really loaded bowl of oatmeal this morning. Something comforting that would get me going on the last day of the work week.

This is a strange combination of blueberries, almond and some cherry/orange granola we bought at the Co-op. Even though it was a lot of flavors, they worked well together.

Now this is a crowded party.

Some days I just need a bowl of oatmeal that will fuel my soul.

Last night, Bill and I worked on a component of my independent study book project. I’m collaborating with Bill’s band to make a “CD” book (quotes because this in no way will be traditional). The band consists of three guys, and each one of them in is in a different state (PA, NC, DC). Below is our take on how they collaborate through distance.

The CD-book project will consist of several types of media. This is one example.

If you wouldn’t mind watching and giving feedback, I would really appreciate it! What are your thoughts after viewing?

    loaded oatmeal is just the way to go sometimes ;) you just have to throw stuff in and hope it all goes together! although I don’t think there’s much that wouldn’t be good in oatmeal.

    I love the video! what a cool idea!

    i think it’s a great video! it’s neat how they can practice in a non-conventional way.

    on a side note, i think i’ll have that song in my head for the rest of the day!

    I’m diggin the song! :) I just don’t get why there is that second computer screen? LOL – I’m pretty simple when it comes to artsty stuff though, so maybe that’s my fault! :)

    I think you should ALL come to Cleveland, and the boys can do a show here – sound good? Okay! :)

    I think that oatmeal looks delicious! It’s so pretty and vibrant.

    Cool video! That’s such a great idea. It’s amazing what you can do with technology these days!

    Hey Rose! I think your breakfast looks great! Fun combination of al the different fruits, grains and nuts. SUCH a cool video- I like how they make it work despite the distance. I also love how you made it very personal yet fun!

    really really interesting concept. i would love to see the other types of media you’ll be involving! i almost wonder if you need the intro? the idea of how they’re collaborating sneaks up on you as soon as the music starts, and it makes for a really nice moment. but that’s just me, take it with a grain of salt. :) rose, this is a wonderful project. i can’t wait to see all the pieces!

    Is the guy in the second computer screen supposed to sing? Or am I just not gettin it?

    I love granola on oatmeal! I should get more creative with it :)

    happy weekend!

    hahahaha….

    Love the video, such a shame that Dave is not participating. But I kind of dig the picture of him with his goofy smile and guitar. Not sure others get it though from the comments… I think I just know the story behind it which makes it enjoyable for me.

    Love that they’re still able to collaborate.
