Written by a kid

We haven't had cable for a while now and I must say after getting over the whole idea of not having junk tv at my fingertips at any given time its sort of refreshing now. Not only am I choosing more interesting and creative television to explore I've discovered the genius of You Tube episodes. Short, sweet and too the point. One of my favorite channels is Geek & Sundry, totally geeky, somehow fascinating. Who knew I would ever enjoy watching someone play a board game let alone find myself buying said game and totally getting into it at home. And that's when I came across Written by a Kid. Exactly what it sounds like, stories told by kids and brought to life by adults. Its amazing what kids will come up with, my favorite so far is La Munkya, a story about a feisty horse made of paper told by a 6 year old. I've always loved to hear children tell stories and these shorts really bring their quirky stories to life.

Uli in dream land

Yesterday during lunch, the husband and I were sitting listening to iTunes and Peloto by Hyperpotamus came on.  After realizing we both had the same idea thanks to the beat, we set off on our bikes with a tripod and bike pump. (the husbands bike has a nice big thorn in the front tire and was totally flat).  Anyway, a few hours later and a bit of figuring out the new version of editing software, we came up with this, our very first stop motion like video. Enjoy.

Hipster hump day, New Soul

So you have probably heard this song a million times, but didn't know who it was right?  Yeah, me too.  After doing a little digging, I am so happy I found the video for New Soul by Yael Naim.  Not only is the song lovely to listen to, its one cool video.  I just love when videos get a little artsy.  Oh how I would love her collection of frames!  Enjoy.
