Shadow Sculpture

As promised, here is a description of Seth's shadow sculpture.

Step 1: Enroll in a Teachings of Isaiah class at BYU. Have a large final project as part of the syllabus.

Step 2: Set up the light and what the shadow should look like.

Step 3: Wear sunglasses so as not to damage your eyeballs

Step 4: Start adding stuff to the sculpture to fill in the shadow.

Step 5: Throw on some Hebrew letters for symbolism. (Isaiah would have approved.)

Step 6: Finish.

Step 7: Write a paper detailing the symbolism between your project and the book of Isaiah. (As in, the jumbled hot glued pile of popsicle sticks represents the confusing writings of Isaiah, the light represents the Spirit, the hidden shadow image represents the message of Christ's Atonement that is the core of Isaiah's writings. It's neat-o.) (Written with help by Seth.)

Step 8: Turn it in. Have your wife write a blog about it. Have everyone think it's exceptionally creative and cool except for her annoying twin sister. 

The End.

My Brain Just Exploded.

Here is the sentence I just read in my assigned reading:

Accordingly, acts of play may be defined as those which are modeled on acts that are "not play," but which are understood not to communicate what would be communicated by these acts if they were performed unplayfully."

Whaaaa???

Sorry for all the short, lame posts I've been doing.

All of my energies are being sucked up by school work.

Wait a couple more weeks, it'll get better. I promise.

And no, even with the context that sentence still doesn't make sense.

Compliment

Seth just complimented me by saying this:

"You're as cute as a warlord."

I'm such a lucky wife.

Seth's Superb Skills at Shadow Sculpting

The Hoover Dam

Seth and I drove down to Arizona last week for Spring Break. 

We brought our camera along but the only time we remembered to get it out was when we stopped at the Hoover Dam.

Luckily, our Spring Break was extremely uneventful, so this is not a big loss. 

Here we are looking nice and grungy.

This doesn't seem so big in a picture, but the height is dizzying.

Seth contemplated riding a bicycle down the side of it.

The other side. The white stripe on the rocks shows where the water level used to be. 

All I have to say about that is: yikes.

Panorama Shot. Isn't that bridge sweet? (Click the picture to make it bigger)

Hopefully they finish it soon so there's much less traffic through Hoover Dam.

And that was the most exciting event of our Spring Break!

Except for possibly our shopping excursion to Target. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but Seth was forced to try on several pairs of pants for a good hour or so. (I made him, because he is currently wearing jeans and shorts that have been duct taped together.) 

He was exhausted when we got home.
