Full House

This week’s episode of Full House started out with Jesse and his band. They were trying to rehearse but the Tanner family had many problems to interrupt them with. First the twins were playing with the drums, and then Danny told Jesse that he has to walk the dog. The band members decided to vote Jesse out of the band.

Jesse was still trying to find a way to perform over the weekend without a band. While he is on the phone with the owner of the club that they are supposed to play at, Michelle asks him to walk Comet, the dog. He tells her to do it herself without really thinking about.

Michelle takes Comet out and he tries to run away. Michelle is not strong enough to hold him back. She called his name and he wouldn’t come back. Michelle is upset and doesn’t know what to do. Stephanie finds her crying on a street corner and asks what happened. Michelle explained the situation, but the two girls really couldn’t do anything about it.

They went home and got there Dad to help them. They went all around the city and didn’t find Comet. Danny yelled at Jesse for letting Michelle walk the dog all by herself because she is too little.

Jesse has a talk with Michelle, apologizing for letting her walk Comet by herself. He explains to her that a good uncle would not have let her put her life in danger walking the dog all by herself. They have a good discussion about thinking of others before yourself. Comet came running into the backyard. Michelle was happy and forgave her Uncle Jesse for what he had done.

Reality TV

I don't really watch reality TV, but I guess I don't really have time to watch TV. So I have never really thought into how reality TV relates to real life. In the reading Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs the author explains how every person that he meets is in one of the seven types that are displayed on MTV's The Real World. I don't really agree with this because I can't think of anyone from the Real World that would relate to me. I'm not gay, I don't start fights at any chance that I get, I'm not crazy, I'm not a sheltered\spoiled brat, I'm not a whore, and I don't always have to have my way. All of those characteristics describe various girls on the Real World and I am not any of those things.

The one thing that I do agree with the author is that the Real World chooses the cast to make seven particular personalities in the house. These personalities are repeated throughout all of the seasons. This kind of takes away a part of reality on the so called reality program.

Full House

This weeks episode of Full House was about revenge. At Stephanie's school, the class bully tells everyone that she likes the new boy. He asks Stephanie out on a date for Friday night and she says yes. Gia, the school bully, is angry at Stephanie and tells her that if she doesn't cancel the date that she will end Stephanie's life. Stephanie decides not to let Gia run her life and does not cancel the date.

The next day, Stephanie walks in to school and everyone laughs at her. When she gets to her locker she sees a sign that says, "Need money? Date Stephanie!". Gia had told the whole school that Stephanie paid her date to go out with her. Stephanie's date decides that he wants to cancel the date because everyone is talking about him.

The next day Stephanie and her friend steel Gia's school record and hang her report card on the wall for everyone to see that she is failing all of her classes. Gia gets really upset, starts crying and leaves. The new boy asks Stephanie if she still wants to go on a date and Stephanie agrees.

Stephanie prepares herself for the date all afternoon. DJ and Steve go to the same pizza place as Stephanie does. Stephanie decides that she would rather sit with DJ and Steve so that she can follow DJ's lead and have the best first date ever. Everything is going horribly.

When they return home, DJ kisses Steve goodnight and Stephanie thinks that she has to kiss her date too. When she kissed him, he said "what was that for?" and wiped it off. Stephanie runs into her room and says that she is never leaving again.

My experience writing the adobiography

Writing this paper was different than any other paper that I have written. Usually papers that have been assigned to me are research papers or opinion type essays. Writing about my life the way advertisers see me was a little bit challenging. It was hard to find a place to start, but once I got started writing, the paper was not that bad. I thought it was fun to look for the ads, I don't usually have time to look through magazines. I thought that it was fun to relate what advertisers are selling to my actual life. It was awesome to find out that advertisers think that I am fat, ugly, and incapable of singing. Overall, I would much rather write a paper like this one as oppose to boring research papers or any other papers that i have been assigned in the past.

This weeks readings

I thought that the Cool Hunt essay was pretty interesting. I guess that I never thought about how designers knew what was "cool". I never realized that people actually make a job out of following people around and stealing their fashion ideas. I think that it is funny that Reebok changed their DMX RXT shoe from women’s to men’s because of kids on the street who liked it. I guess I have always assumed that producers and designers make products that they think will sell and if they don't, they take them off the market. I guess I was wrong, considering they follow the "cool" people around and take their ideas.

I also liked the interchapter essay on Reading and Writing about Images. It is true that interpreting images is the same as reading a text. I thought that it was cool how they compared the sets of pictures to each other. Looking at just one of the single pictures I probably wouldn't be able to tell so many things about it as when they compare two some what alike pictures. This essay showed an interesting way to see how many different things a picture can say without any words.
