Lumiere 6: Apple Juice

Click To Play

it's been tough keeping up with navlopomo. being in rural virginia and trying to find wifi and keep my camera charged and then getting a head cold has not been good for posting video. i have been taping every day, so i'm going to back date some...i write my own rules here. drink plenty of apple juice when you get sick. i ordered this and the waitress said do you have a cold? yes, yes i do.

Laptop Shot

my sister was hanging out in california at the end of sustainable route. this was what it was like to hang out with us. two laptops, two pairs of headphones...did you say something? dorks.

i taped this while working in the country on jay's dad's building and decided to turn it into a RyanIsHungry post as well. double post action!

Sleeping

Click To Play

a while back, jay thought it would be ok to post a video of me sleeping...without first asking me. i was pretty mad. we made a pact to ask each other first if we could post more sensitive moments. jay told me to tape him snoring, because he didn't believe that he actually did it. well, he does! battle cat too!

Thanksgiving

Click To Play

this is the first thanksgiving ever that i have not spent at my mother's house. will be the same for christmas. thought i'd make it feel like i was home with a "pumpkin pie" with whipped cream from scratch. that's my mom's favorite (along with green jello and cream cheese mold, needless to say, i skipped that one!). check out our spread! jay and i cooked for his family. it was fun and they were pretty much beside themselves that we could cook, esp jay, because after all, the men are supposed to stay out of the kitchen right?

Screaming Silently: The Ranch

Click To Play

this is a survey for my own personal uses as well as to share the insanity. i'm starting to feel a little crazy looking at the rust colored wall to wall carpet, the textured walls/ceilings and the fake, walnut, wood panels. not sure jay's dad is feeling the 'let's paint this entire house' vibe that we're putting out. he will...oh he will! sigh.

No You Didn't

Click To Play

jay and i are in the country. rural virginia at his dad's little house on the prairie. the house we're staying was built circa 1978-1982. it got decorated then and stayed that way. we're thinking of maybe spending more time here, living on both coasts. and, as many of you know of me, i need things to be refinished if they are looking shabby. day one- i tackle the tiny details like light switches and outlet covers that are coated in wall paper. oh no you didn't do that! and look what they used to adhere the paper to the plastic! it's like a horror film. tomorrow you get a tour. and my obsessive thoughts on how to improve the space. these things make me feel better about the world.

Virgin America: Airline Geekery

Click To Play

we flew an overnight flight on the fancy new virgin america from SFO to DC. i must say it was an extremely pleasant experience. i usually don't give a fuck about hyped up corporations trying to be hip or geeky but seriously the simple fact that we could plug our laptops in to work and watch stuff made the 5 hour flight go by fast. and they have their interactive entertainment computers running on linux. nice! soon they will have satellite wifi or so they say. too bad oil is going to run out and no one will be able to afford (economically as well as environmentally) to fly...ah the hey days of humanity....

Winnies DIY Trophies

Click To Play

if you come to the winnies and you RSVP'd beforehand and you produce video for the web, YOU WIN! just bring an old trophy to give out because this is like a secret santa thing were you are are assigned another person to give your trophy to. so hit the salvation army (or your mantel if you won a vloggie last year) and bring it on! i'll be setting up a DIY, crafty table so you can decorate your thrifty trophies too!

Show In A Box Hackathon

Click To Play

this happened back in september and i realized i never posted any of it. a whole bunch of us got together, several people flew out, to spend the weekend hacking wordpress into a kick ass videoblogging platform. we're all busy folks, but we're still hacking away, trying to make it a really creative and slick platform for creators to showcase their work. make wordpress more than a text blog with video thrown on it. i love these people!
