Life By Lindsey Rae

This is my highly recommended video for this week. It does involve a picture of a nasty, ugly moth...which is unfortunate, because, as a lot of people know, I am deathly terrified of them. But, it is also funny enough that I am willing to overlook that this one time. As you will see, the guy in the video also overlooks it.

Haha. I guess you have to be a Napoleon Dynamite fan to think this is funny. I thought it was.

A kid imitates Napoleon Dynamite in a Spelling Bee and the response from the commentator is great: "Was that a secret message?"

In the past, I wrote a bunch about the animal paintings at the Nashville Zoo that we bid on at the silent auction. I first saw them a few years ago and elephant paintings were the first thing that I saw that got me hooked on animal paintings. (We don't have an elephant painting yet...just the meerkat one. Although we did get one for Jerrod's aunt for Christmas).
But, anyway, most of them that I have seen are mostly just random brush strokes of colors...more abstract, that sometimes turns out to look like something recognizable.

I just saw this video on YouTube of an elephant doing a painting, and it is amazing. This elephant can draw better than a lot of people can. You must watch this!

Ok, so my computer is rebuilt and back to me. (Jerrod put XP back on it instead of Vista, to speed things up, but I'm not quite sure how I feel about that yet...)

Anyway, on Saturday, I tried made a little video and this is the first chance I had to post it. I'm going to have to play around with the settings and editing more on the camera, I think, but this is my start.

It's a couple days after the fact, but here it is anyway.

Today I got a prize in the mail. A present from Jerrod, actually. He recently bought me a camcorder and it came today. I got a Canon ZR950. I spent awhile trying to figure out what would be the best for me to get and it was difficult, because since this is my first one, I'm not sure what my use will really be with it. I didn't want to spend too much because of that. But, at the same time, I want something that will have good enough quality videos. So, hopefully this will be a start.
So, I might start making a few video blogs now.

Jerrod, of course, doesn't like his picture taken. He thinks that I may have a lack of subjects to record and so, being he is the only one around, is afraid that I may come after him with it. I told him I may need a pug dog to go with my new camcorder so I have something to record!

Last week, my sister, Shara, sent me an audio clip of a live broadcast of a game that our brother, Darcy, played in on January 18th. This clip features a goal that Darcy got for the Olds Grizzlys, who he was playing as a guest with this night. Closer to the end there is a short interview with the team's assistant coach, who talks about Darcy after the goal. I thought I would add some pictures to the audio and make it into a video and put it on youtube so that it would be easier to listen to without having to download the file she sent. The pictures are just a few random shots of Darcy playing, not from this game in particular. The rotate rather slowly, because I only had a limited number of pictures to use, as Darcy said he didn't know how to upload pictures to the computer to give me more. (I think we might need to get him into some computer classes in his spare time).

I heard about this video on TV and had to go find it on youtube. I never knew I could be so easily entertained. It's so funny.
