Picture Sunday

Hello, end of weekenders, and welcome to another round of Picture Sunday.

Business as usual this weekend, no Hackensaw Boys, no Community Band concerts, just clarinet duets and movies. And meat loaf and mashed potatoes. And it was good.

OK, we're going to go straight to the recipe du jour.

You know, my boy Sherman isn't just a layabout cartoon character. He goes to school. Well, home-school, taught by Mr Peabody. Last semester he built a bridge out of fudge. This year. Well, this year he did this.






















Yes, the marshmallow castle. The plans were apparently done by geometric equations, but they're all very hush-hush. All I know is that it took two bags of marshmallows and a lot of patience.

And now that that's done, an extra treat for you all. Sherman and I made a little documentation of the building of the marshmallow castle. It's crude, the camera moves, and the music's not in sync, but what the hey. You make a movie by taking 56 2-second mini-movies and editing them together. And we'll talk.




And don't think that's this week's Comfy Chair Cinema movie, it's not! See the Olympic Update for that.

Happy week.

Betland's Olympic Update:
* Yes, it is, a new movie up at the Comfy Chair Cinema. It's a retrospective, so bring your pencil and paper, because you might be asked about it in film class, if you decide to take one. And then maybe one day I'll take one.
