New Videos

Here are 3 new videos I've produced in the past month.

2 are for the FiestaMovement and a little short I made because I thought of it when I was brushing my teeth and then couldn't sleep. Lol. Enjoy! :) Rate it and comment if you fancy. :)

Fiesta Mission 5!

Sorry This has taken so long to post! I have been mad busy trying to get my life together since moving back from CA and then work, being sick, and then getting ready to move back to CA in the winter for USC SCA!!! :)

Anyway- personal stuff aside, here is my latest fiesta mission. Hope you enjoy it!

Fiesta Post It XC Trip

Be ready to vote starting September 12th for my Post It video. Hopefully I'll make it to the voting round because Carol and I worked really hard at making the fiesta POST-ITrific.

Fiesta Mission 4

Sorry this has taken me so long to post!

Here is the video from Fiesta Movment Mission 4!

I went to a pre-school in Santa Barbara, Storyteller Children's Center, and volunteered my time and Ford's money. It was such a fun and eye opening experience. Be sure to click on the SCC link and check out how to help them! :)

FiestaTune UP

My buddy Julia and I ran some errands today--she got a blue lollypop from the bank. Excitement!

Today was a strange day for the Fiesta. It was kind of a strange day for me as well. Not strange in a bad way, strange in a way that is like an out of body experience. Not the kind you might have if the anesthesiologist doesn't do the meds the right way and you're present for your surgery, the kind where you're like--is this my life?

Okay-- Now I'll explain.

Yesterday, I didn't realize it was Thursday until it was too late. I didn't sleep well Wed. night. I had something on my mind, but couldn't really pin point it.

Thursday, at about 12 pm, I realized what had been keeping me up all night: the 10am appointment to have the Fiesta worked on (3000/ 3mos check up). GREAT JOB ALEXIS.

Andrew, my "Mission Control" dude, helped me out. He scheduled a tune up for this morning at 9am. This worked out perfectly.

When I went out to get into the Fiesta, there was something in the window. A card. Someone had left a card in the window regarding "alter-eko" an alternative fuel-eco friendly company. The card has a note and a phone number. Though I'm pretty certain I cannot use their fuel, actually I'm 100% sure, it is pretty cool and pretty weird to have a card waiting in the driveway on my car. I feel slightly violated--but in a good way.

Now I have to tell you about the Perry Ford guys in Santa Barbara.

Want to feel like a goddess? Drive a Fiesta into Perry Ford on Hitchcock Way in Santa Barbara CA. I'm going to give the dudes there MAJOR props. They treated me like I OWNED Ford. Actually they treated me better than that--like I was the daughter of the person who owns Ford. You don't fuck around with the daughter of someone who owns anything, she knows the ropes and how to manipulate them. (Any daughter does for that matter.) The guys at the Ford Service department were über excited to have the 2010 Fiesta drive into their station.

Dean Severson, the Service Advisor was amazing. He and Dennis Cummins took care of me and the Fiesta. Thanks you guys, you did a great job and made getting a tune up incredibly easy!

(So many play on words--insert a "that's what she said" where ever you want.)

FIESTA MISSION 3! :)

This is Fiesta Mission 3: Fashion and Style of Santa Barbara CA! :)

This video is a little different than what I've done before. I tried some new techniques and held some interviews. I did the whole thing on my webbie and one shot with my mac camera. I need to get some sound equipment!! Probably should find a better camera too...but this is HD so w/e!

Hope you enjoy! Let me know if you like it! :)



Please visit my video at howcast.com as well! I need views and thumbs ups! HELP ME WIN CASH FOR COLLEGE! I'll explain my tuition thing laterrrr... for now... FIESTA!!!

Green Scene

Jeff and I are in Nebraska, or as the radio refers to it " 'Braska."

This place is FLLLLLLAT. I've never seen so much land around me. It's like when you're out on open water. You know where you are but you feel so small and vulnerable that you feel lost. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it.

I like urban.

We stopped off in Iowa to see Byron and Des Moines, a city which was surprisingly modern and pretty cool. It was nice to see him and a good break in the trip. We then drove through Iowa and halfway through Nebraska into the night.

Things that I was impressed with:

• Windmills for miles (generating clean electricity)
• Jeff's manual transmission abilities and improvements (didn't stall, woot!)
• My phone's ability not to die.
• My ability to drive even when we're both at the breaking point--we reached North Platte anyway.
• Jeff and my singing abilities--we ROCK!

Things I am unimpressed by:

• People who stare at the Fiesta but won't wave back (pull that stick out of your butt!)
• Iowa radio
• My iPod cord's suicide (R.I.P., but why'd you have to do it in 'Braska?)
• My cigarette lighter's suicide (will rise from the dead in SB)
• The purple marker in the Dora the Explorer marker set on which I spent $1.99 at the gas station-- it was dried--wtf?!
• Jeff and My knowledge of the Dora the Explorer characters-- what are the lizzard, the little yellow puffball thing and the bull's names!?
• My ability to know what the hell Jeffrey is pointing at when he says "look!" and I say "what? where? Huh?"

So I'm done for now, we are headed to Steamboat Springs to see my other half, Carol, today. I CANNOT WAIT!!! I haven't seen her since Christmas and things are going to get CRAZY!

I will be sure to upload pictures soon and be sure to follow on Twitter! : Me ( @alexis_morrell), Jeff (@ysoyrebelde), Byron (@LordByron42) and Adi--plug!-- (@yoprice) for more road trip stuff and fun!

Jeff LOVES the Midwest

Jeffrey doesn't like the Midwest.

Everything but Baltimore and Chicago (on our trip so far) has been farmland and it wasn't the most exciting landscape. We still had an amazing time and Chicago is BEAUTIFUL! We just had martinis and a cheese plate at "Dirty Martini's."

Thing that have happened-

My power source in the Fiesta has decided to quit on the job. I will be getting it fixed in Santa Barbara.

My entire family has called me-- I'm okay guys! Love you.

Michael Jackson has been heard and honored as well as mocked.

We are now translating "Americana" --it's a language used in the United States by some, it's a regional dialect.

Jeff asked me about his computer and all I heard was "Did you savagely blast my puter?"

That's not what he said-- but it's pretty f-ing funny.

I'm tired so I'm going to bed.

:)
