Aug. 28th, 2007 11:03 amSo, I ended up returning the rainboots I ordered as part of a late night, sleep-deprived episode, even though they were a little bit awesome. They also weren't what I expected, and I'm (droning tone of horrible practicality) Not Sure I Would Ever Wear Them. For people who were not aware, some big name designer was making "fashion rainboots" and Target launched a knockoff line on what appears to be the website only. Dozens of styles. You want houndstooth, tye dye, striped or polka dot rainboots? Punked out or asian looking? They tantalize me, truly, and if I were still in high school I think I would NEED 3 or 4 different pairs - plus I'd have nothing else to spend the money from my part time job on. As it is, I can pass this link on and tell the rest of you to view them here - really, behold the glory that torments me. Oh, copious money to burn on dumb shit, how you elude me.
Returning them in store earned me a $21 giftcard to go shop online again with, and at Target you can *do something* with $21, and there I was shopping for myself again. Now I'm waiting for a kickass bag (I'm never going to start liking the word "purse") AND the earrings from my previous order that I was warned would take weeks. I'm starting to feel WAY too much like this chick**. Packages, how I love thee.
Grant and Shaun were filming over the weekend. They made two short videos that I think are pretty damned hilarious. My sense of humor is off key, though. I'm like a piano that's fallen down stairs where funny is concerned.
Project #1 -
Project #2 -
My personal critique goes;
-the first one should be a tiny bit shorter
-it should be easier to find when you search youtube for "pogo tricks"
-the second one should be black and white
-Shaun, you weren't obvious enough about being freaked out that people stole your stuff, or that your stuff was being stolen. I only understood what was going on there because I heard you talking about it beforehand - the fact that it's all you also makes it seem confusing. The "thieves" should sneak around in an obvious way and you should be more obviously exasperated...Exaggerated movements, it's pantomime!
-I don't like the hoohaw at the end with the words. And you said, "and" where you should have said "an"
But, again, I still laugh riotously about it all.
If anyone is looking for some slightly more professional and more mainstream humor on YouTube, I think this pretty much rocks -
There's a sequel that's similarly entertaining here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGrTvNzGCZE
Speaking of pianos being dropped down stairs, we watched the movie, "The Science of Sleep" Sunday night. I think it was worthwhile for watching. It was funny and interesting and unique and NOT Hollywood, even though it was also one of Those Movies that goes along art house quirky until it just stops, without any real resolution...I'm still glad I saw it.
