So What's DI, Anyway?

DI is an after school program I do that is very similar to OM (Odyssey of the Mind). In fact, according to web sources, the two evolved out of one big Odyssey of the Mind program!
DI stands for Destination Imagination. You are given a scientific, mathematical, or theater related problem you must solve with a few twists. For example, last year our skit about superstitions had to include a two- person costume. Working together with a team in your age group and coaches, you figure out the solution. You get a lot of time, it lasts from October to March.
Later in March, you present the solution to the problem at a school somewhere in VA. There will be judges there who score how well you solved it. After going to Spontaneous, where you get scored on solving an improv-related problem, there will be an award ceremony. The winners move to the next stage on competition!

Even though it's not tournament time yet, I know most of this from OM last year. We made it all the way to State Finals but didn't go to World Finals. (I know! They actually have World Finals, where there are teams from other countries!) I don't know how far they go in DI, though...

Sorry for the confusing post.


BLOG YA LATER!

Why Haven't I Been Blogging...... Long Story

FRIDAY: Yay! A weekend of kicking back and watching the Olympics. Dad and I went to McDonalds.
SATURDAY: Watched the Opening Ceremonies, which we had Tivoed . Sat on the couch for the whole day watching some cool sports.
SUNDAY: Valentine's Day! We ate heart shaped pizza and watched even MORE Olympics. I ended up doing my laundry while watching Nordic Combined.
MONDAY: Had that ever- creative after-school program, DI.

There!

Belated Movies

Cousin Studios, on a recent (December) trip to New Jersey, did A LOT of filming. We shot 4 advertisements, 4 Behind The Scenes, 8 bloopers, 23 videos, and 1 feature film: Animals Got Talent! A take on the other popular game show, 7 Littlest Pet Shop animals from around the world compete for fame, glory, and a trophy that's bigger than them! Starring the Abominable Snowman as a judge, this video has lots of commercials and is 37 minutes long- the longest flick we've made yet! Hilarious!
P.S. This is cute: One of the young cousins voiced all the animals, and they all sang about their gender or species!
