A mostly videoblog, sometimes photoblog where I post clips about everything under the sun. Music, movies, random daily moments, stuff about food I eat and hikes I go on.

I've been sick with strep throat lately - finally I can sit up again and try to make some posts. So here's a clip from a few months ago - my best friend Tracy is trying to understand why the pictures of her on my digital camera suck. It's true that they suck, and that all film pictures of her are always breathtaking...but I believe it's because of the sucky flash on my camera - not as she states "getting uglier".
We're rounding the bend into spring and I needed a little mich fix. PLUS, I've seen a few of these speedy-photo vlog posts lately and I wanted to try it.
The music is by Corner Tour, two of the members have cameos in this clip.
Photos are by me and also by Gretchen Phillips.

Well, the news just came in. As of 12:01 am my teachers, and all the college teachers in Ontario are on strike. I'm not sure if I really wanted this to happen or not - I'm having mixed feelings. Only time will tell how this pans out.
Might mean more time to post in the next few weeks, so that's a good thing.
My good friend Judith is one year older today, and this is a little birthday video just for her. Anyone else can look at it, but remember - it's for HER :)
Warning!!! - Use of fake blood, and some partial nudity! - Possibly not worksafe.
Well. I've been transfering some old VHS tapes that my mom sent me to deal with. Here's the first of many little gems that I've discovered.
This is most likely my first time in front of a video camera and near the end there's also my first time behind one. I'd like to point out that my shooting abilities have drastically improved in the past 16 years.
It's incredibly horrendous for me to see myself at that point in my life. My voice is high and annoys me, and I'm wearing that k.d. lang shirt which i loved but got me harassed at school by all the girls who were quick to point out that she was gay.
Being a teenager wasn't pretty and this footage isn't pretty to me either but I'm starting to feel like I have gotten enough distance between me and that time period to appreciate some aspects that weren't visible to me then. I like how this video captures my mom and I together having fun, laughing and sharing time. Also, the short elderly lady in the footage is the owner of the video camera - and the author of most of the footage I'm currently transfering - she's passed on now but as I watch her footage I see little signs of her creativity and attempts to do more than just document.
There's more where this came from, please bear with me while I dissect my past in little vlog posts.
A friend just sent me this link and after all my ranting and raving about the "Gay cowboy movie" I just had to repost....
