Gotta love

You have to love fabulous singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens. (Here is a link to his wiki if you need to know more information.) Take a listen to some new stuff:

Loooove. Although, creepily, my favorite is still John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (YouTube).

My life as a journalism student

Well, after a long time away due to other blogs, classes, and an internship in St. Louis this summer - I'm back! So happy to be back working on Images Repeating - way more enjoyable than other blogs I must complete for class. After a little redesign on the blog, I'm ready to share my random thoughts with you again.

I thought I would start off telling you a little bit about my life as a journalism student. As a convergence journalism student at the University of Missouri, I have a lot going on lately. I am in my senior capstone class, where you put all the skills you have ever learned in journalism and summarize/put them in use. My project, along with Drew Dumas and Amanda Heisey is mobile journalism. I have included a description of my project below.

I'm really excited to work with Vericorder Technology and put to use their mobile journalism tools. What I hope to get out of the project. Well.. I want to be a guinea pig and figure out the best practices for the device, but I really want to teach the device's nuances to other journalism students, make guides, and see if this is a plausible tool for journalism students throughout Mizzou. We will be working with Will Sullivan, a RJI fellow, and the interactive director of http://www.stltoday.com/.

I am also working at Newsy.com as an Online Audience Developer. We use word of mouth advertising to promote the videos that the start-up creates. It will be a valuable experience and something that will hopefully shine on my resume, come May when I am looking for a job.

I went to speak with my academic advisor the other day and I found out that I can graduate in December if I want, but I decided to stick around. There are a lot of other valuable classes I can take second semester to help round our my skills and talents.

Since it has been a long time since I have posted anything, I would like to restate my mission statement for Images Repeating.

• Post random architecture, art, music news, movie clips, photos, etc.. that interest me
• Tell you about my life, good or bad
• Share stories my friends have told me
• Basically... the random musings of me, Jennifer Elston

Sorry

Have to maintain a blog for class: http://siestasnooze.blogspot.com/ so I will be MIA for awhile.

Thanks for understanding.

Jen

omnomnomnom. that is all i have to say.

fav thing of the day... food

two amazing looking recipes

1. Peachy Crunchy Yumminess is the technical term

Steps

• Put a can of peaches in a cake pan
• Cover with dry yellow cake mix
  
• Cover with a stick of butter chopped into little pieces
• Cover with brown sugar
• Cover with chopped walnuts
• Bake @ 350 for 40 minutes

VOILA - Found on Bakerella

2. Nutella Cupcakes

You can either make your own cupcakes, or I would just use cupcake mix and add a dallop of nutella on top of the that. Stir around with a toothpick so they are mixed together and you have your frosting in the cupcake. DO WANT.
