My buddy Bima said hello to about forty schoolkids on Saturday: he’s a little more outgoing than I am.

This August marked the one-year anniversary of my obviously stunning, critically-acclaimed appearance on KITV Hawai’i's “Community Minute” segment. To those among my beloved fans who have just been dying for another film clip of me making awkward faces at the camera and talking in my oh-so-impressive “professional Keely” voice–you’re in luck! While working at the Johnson’s “An Afternoon of Shadow Puppets” event on Saturday (a program focusing on the objects on view in the “Shadowlands” exhibit that my class curated last semester), I was approached by Daily Sun video staff members who were interested in filming the exhibit and the afternoon’s activities.

If you have a spare minute, you, too, can experience shadow puppets, sheet screens, and my very salmon pink sweater here: Indonesian Shadow Puppets at the Johnson Museum of Art.

Though I’m certainly less eloquent than my professor Kaja McGowan (seriously, how many times can I say “something” in the same sentence?), I’m glad I was able to contribute a student’s perspective to this exploration of the role Shadowlands has played at the museum.

Plus, it’s usually the case that these “Family Saturdays” aren’t often visited by Cornell students. In addition to the Sun staff, we had quite a number of “grown-up” attendees making shadow puppets and following our little maps around the building–pretty impressive for a Saturday afternoon!

(I also admire the Sun for posting not one but two Johnson-related videos in the past week. If only the actual “paper” itself could provide us with such good advertising…)

Edit: I just found out that you can now see my cameos in some career services videos (“Interviews” and “Networking”) as well. I volunteered as an actor for these short little “ads” over the summer: it was a ton of fun, and may have actually encouraged me to go check out Cornell’s various career-related resources…
