I wish I knew what you were searching for.

I’ve been searching for this my whole life and never knew it. This kids chorus singing the Church—so awesome!

Check out the choir’s blog for more videos and info, including a Phoenix song.

Or visit their youtube channel for more videos.

One for Tawnya!

Holy cow! I keep editing and adding on to this post as I discover more stuff they’ve done. Here they are performing WITH Crowded House!

More on their youtube channel.

A video blog.

I was too lazy to take pictures or scan stuff and write everything out about this. Instead I rambled on in front of a webcam.

Watch out for that rock

Photography, Youtube

Yesterday Nathaniel and I tried our hand at some stop-motion movie making. His idea with the rocks.

Song is Modest Mouse - March Into the Sea.

It was a lot of work for only 21 seconds of video. But it was his idea to use big rocks! He did all the rock positioning. I stood and clicked the shutter on the camera. :)

Christmas Day Kickball

Youtube

On Christmas Day we went to a nearby elementary school and played kickball. Our version of kickball, anyway, which means we kick the ball but don’t run bases. Maybe if we had more people playing we’d do the bases. Because like Elijah said, the funnest part is throwing the ball at people to tag them out.

When Elijah was smaller he wanted to grow up to be a professional kickball player.

Here is our kickball game, speeded up to about 4 minutes:

The video was longer but youtube cut it off for some reason. And it cut off the funniest parts. We were acting goofy because we knew we were going to speed the video up. The song is by Boards of Canada.

Daniel’s playlist

Music, Photography, Youtube

Playlist

My parents asked what they could get Daniel for Christmas, so I suggested a portable satellite radio. This particular kind also lets you play mp3s. I had to take a picture of the music my husband has loaded on it so far. He’s one of the few people I’ve ever known who has as diverse taste in music as I do.

Merry Christmas from us!

Photography, Youtube

Merry Christmas from us.

We went to a park on Christmas Day and played kickball. Our version of kickball, anyway. We took video which I’ll post when it’s online.

On Christmas Eve, Nathaniel, his friend Dillon, Cat and I went to the Santa Ana River bike trail and Nathaniel filmed our bike ride. Here it is, sped up and condensed into four minutes.

Nathaniel was hand-holding the camera so it’s a bit jerky, primarily at the beginning. Cat’s in blue and later red (she sheds her jacket off-screen in the middle). I’m in brown and Dillon’s on the skateboard being goofy. It was fun.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

My brother got me a Lomo Fisheye camera for Christmas. Cool, huh?

Why are alcohol commercials so funny and creative?

Youtube

Because they aren’t allowed to show people drinking alcohol, so they have to get creative.

Plus they must have endless amounts of money to toss at an ad agency.

Have you seen these “most interesting man” commercials for the Beer Dos Equis? I think they’re pretty funny.

I also find this sock commercial really amusing:

My finger got caught in this box!

This made me laugh really hard, even the second time I saw it. Totally goes to show you how stupid movies can be.
