Ugh.
This is hilarious (due to his reactions and voice) but also really depressing. And kind of disgusting.
Factorial Factory
BOOSH
As some of the comments say, a number of these could be really useful in understanding/expressing series. Unfortunately, I’ve never heard of any of these being explicitly taught.
Good lord, what is this
Welcome to the experimental film stylings of Young Claudia.
I have no idea how old I was when I made this, but that looks like the house on Borah, so maybe 5th or 6th grade?
Either way, I was freaking Spielberg.
Freaking Baseball, Man.
The Mets traded Canha. I knew they were going to, but I’m still sad.
I freaking LOVE Canha, yo. He was easily one of my favorite Mets (basically him and McNeil).
Edit:
At least he’s with the Brewers, so there’s a chance he’ll get to the playoffs.
The Grandpa Twins Redux
So I posted about The Grandpa Twins a while back, but now that we’ve got the tapes actually professionally pulled into digital format instead of me recording them with my camcorder by pointing it at the TV, here is an updated video with all of the episodes on it. Timestamps in the comments, for anyone who remotely cares.
Wacky Peter
Yo! So let’s continue the home movie marathon, shall we?
So around the time of my last year of high school, I came up with this Lego character I called “Wacky Peter.” He had all these misadventures and was always dying. Mr. Bill-type stuff.
During 12th grade and the summer between graduating and going to college, I made a whole bunch of stop-motion Wacky Peter videos. Just like when I was a kid, I LOVED recording stuff and making my own movies and the like, so this was sort of the end of that era of my life before I went to college.
(I did this instead of having friends, which is a pretty common pattern for me, haha.)
(I also had my Cape Cod Radio Mystery episodes playing in the background as I worked/filmed, so that’s what all the noise/talking is.)
So here are all the episodes condensed into one video. There are timestamps for each episode in the comments in case anyone actually cares.
r/place 2023
Because I posted a timelapse of last year’s.
Needs full screen mode.
Welcome to Hell!
In other words, welcome to several weeks of home videos and other nonsense that no one else cares about!
First up: Hamlet performed by Legos. I made this sometime in 12th grade and my 12th grade English teacher let me show it to the class near the end of the year. They freaking loved it and a bunch of people mentioned it when they signed my yearbook, haha.
It’s actually crap, but so is the taste of 12th graders, apparently.
Anyway.
I NEED PROZZAK
So I’m 100% addicted to this band now, haha. All of their songs are ridiculously catchy. Plus, most of them have a cute little animated music video with Simon and Milo. Here are some examples:
How have I never heard of this band before I found http://www.nevergetoveryou the other day?
Roon
All true. Especially the toenail one.
And like one of the comments said, it’s good to know that “some days the legs don’t show up” is a universal thing and occurs seemingly independently of how much you’ve trained.
Final
Dude, this is a super interesting little retrospective of the first three Final Destination movies.
That highway scene at the start of the second movie is amazing and terrifying. I saw it on TV once without knowing what Final Destination was and I was like NOPE NEVER GETTING INTO A CAR AGAIN.
MMMBOP
Um, what?
Hanson released an Mmmbop 2.0?
You can really hear their harmonizing in the chorus in this one, much more than in the original.
I like it.
Badding Break
It’s summer, so for whatever reason, that means I’m back into watching my aviation documentaries.
It’s a tradition, yo.
Anyway, today I watched a video about the 1986 mid-air collision of Aeromexico Flight 498 and a small aircraft over California, and I was immediately reminded of the similarities between its story and the mid-air collision depicted in (*looks it up*) season 2 of Breaking Bad. The one where the air traffic controller is distressed over the loss of his daughter and makes an error, causing two planes to collide and the debris to fall on Walter White’s town.
Like…watch the documentary. If you remember the scenario in Breaking Bad, they are freakishly similar. The actual air traffic controller’s name was Walter White.
Believe it or not, though, it sounds like the creator of Breaking Bad didn’t know about this incident. I don’t know if I completely buy it. I notice in my own life that there are a lot of things I think of or create seemingly out of the blue and then later, upon reflection, realize how many little bits and pieces are actually derivatives of things I’ve seen in the past.
So maybe that’s it. It’s almost too big of a coincidence to NOT be that.
Calgary Marathon!
I finally did my first official marathon!
It was the virtual version, sure, but I did it on the same day as the in-person marathon and ran next to the marathoners during a part of it, so it counts, right?
My mom also walked the (virtual) Calgary Half Marathon, so we’re both too cool for school.
Pics!
(I was really slow because it was hot, haha)
The medals have the Calgary Central Library on them, which is one of the prettiest buildings ever.
Woo!
Edit: stupid freaking COVID, this looks so fun:
Safari
So was this anyone else’s elementary school “treat” that the teacher let you play with if you were good?
We had a yellow GeoSafari in elementary school and we all LOVED it, haha.
I am DISGUSTING. This is DISGUSTING.
Remember those early 2000s (?) commercials for that toenail fungus medicine where the little animated fungus lifted up a toenail and crawled underneath?
Edit: LAMISIL! Yeah, this son of a bitch:
Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you…my toenail can basically pull this same move now. OBSERVE!
THIS IS WHAT DISTANCE DOES TO YOU
The internet has broken me
Why, you ask?
Because I found a Euro just off the sidewalk this afternoon and the first thing that popped into my head was this thing:
I am a wounded soul.
What the dink is that noise?
I’m sorry, but this is the only acceptable “The Little Mermaid” remake that will ever exist.
I say “seven vaganyas” in my head more than I care to admit.
Google Knows
Google ALWAYS knows.
It’s fire season and I’m terrified of it, so guess what YouTube recommended for me?
Yup.
55
Pretty sure we had this guy at the drive-thru at Wendy’s back when I worked there.
More Sticky Drama
Oh, Scherzer.
Running: The Ultimate Drug
Hahahaha, this is hilarious.
“CHOP THE LEG!”
Johannes Brahms?!?!?!?!
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, oh my god.
“It’s good?!?!?!”
