MOVED—NEW LOCATION

Hi Everyone,

Since I stopped using this blog, I had opened up two others on Blogger; however, I've recently discovered Tumblr. I'm absolutely in love with the simplicity of tumblelogs. It is much easier to use and to manipulate so I can change the layout. I'm not one to microblog though, so I blog as I would normally. It will serve as my personal blog, and eventually link to my photography, writing, and web portfolio, and more.
Here is the link: janeman.tumblr.com

I'm excited for all that's to come.
Come visit & please update your bookmarks or RSS feeds!

xoxo,
Jane

new blog? renew blog?

I wanted to create a new blog tonight with the name simplehearted because I wanted to write. I wanted to write and start fresh on a blank canvas so I can keep this one untouched and preserved. The Blogger subdomain is taken. But of course. It's rare for subdomains to be free so many years after the inauguration of Blogger. I can barely recall the year I created my first blog. That was a long time ago and that blog has long been removed from the World Wide Web.

What should I do?

Should I start a new blog?
Or just draft these previous entries into hiding?

Help.

why film editing programs were invented

...so that stars like Jessica Biel should not have to embarrass herself in front of the camera. ET featured her and her family's initiative called Make The Difference Network (MTDN) and interviewed them on a children's hospital party that they hosted recently. I found out about this through an e-newsletter about Alex Band about his recent performance at said party. A link was provided about an ET article that interviewed Jessica Biel, so I thought I'd check it out. Never did anyone any harm to learn more about helpful organizations around the world.

Within the first ten seconds of the interview, Jessica Biel talks about a young boy that she kept in contact with every month. He had faxed her family and said he would rather meet her than walk again. They spoke once a month, yet she could not remember what disease/disorder he had. I'm sorry, what? How do you not remember?

They would've done great to cut the clip and re-film her (seemingly) minor mistake, no?

This interview makes their family seem like a typical, generous, wealthy L.A. family, yet discredits them for their care and awareness in the little things that matter. They just come off as pretentious and their interview seem staged.

Her dad seems over-tanned, though I'm sure that's just his natural skin colour, or something.
