David’s Ramblings

Recently, I made my first journey into real internet where people other than my close friends see my work…

That journey was “Touched By His Noodly Appendage”, the documentary we made for Campus MovieFest. I sent a link to the movie to Bobby Henderson, the person who started the FSM rage. He posted in on his website for all of the other Pastafarians to see. Overall, the feedback was quite nice. It probably got over 1000 hits. I can’t tell exactly, I’m just going by the dent it made in our hosting transfer limit (almost .1%, considering how much transfer Dreamhost gives us).

It’s nice to get comments back on your work from the general public.

Bless your noddle ridden souls. That was one of the most inspiring documentary’s I have seen to date. Congratulations on a job well done, thank-you for the inspiration.

Captain Noodulous Silicate TBHNA-

Brilliant.
.
They really caught the spirituality of the experience.
It was like I was watching myself on the screen it was so accurate.
.
The Oscars are soon, this must be nominated for best short film about a starch based deity.
.
The music, the editing, the visual effects were all brilliant.
Clearly there was no acting and this was all genuine footagge.
.
When is it available on DVD?
Is there going to be a feature length version?
I think they should cast Russell Crowe as the Pastafarian.
Or George Clooney. Or Russell Crowe and George Clooney and Kevin Spacey.
.
Please please keep Kevin Kostner out of it. He sucks.
.
RAmen.

Needless to say, this reception is more important than the possibility of going on to the Atlanta MovieFest finale. We have been accepted by the Church. That’s what is most important.

The Limp Noodle Documentary

Living in college can be tough. Tests, assignments, late nights finishing papers… It can all be quite stressful. It doesn’t help when you have to put up with the cramped space of your dorm room and share a bathroom with forty guys.

You can’t change everything, but you can build yourself a better life in your dorm room. You can find a place to put all that junk you almost definitely need in your dorm room. And more importantly, you can do it on the cheap. Enter the primary building materials of the college student: duct tape/painter’s tape and card board.

For this project we also use pieces of a destroyed bookcase. The shelves of the destroyed bookcase make for an excellent table top once they are duct taped together.

After that’s done, you can duct tape the top to a box, creating a table. Since the box is hollow, it also can double as a secret storage unit for all the things you’re not supposed to have, especially the flammable stuff.

Drop a table cloth or anything else handy you may have on top and you’ve got yourself a small table.

Other good ways to improve your room can include a futon, especially one you salvage from the back of a van.

You can also build shelves out of cardboard boxes, simply stacking them on top of things. With proper furniture configuration, you can milk a little more space out of the room. Eventually you may be able to to fit 13 computers in the room… like us.

The future of the oscars.
