Friday Silliness

I think Maneka once mentioned to me about the girl who paid lots of cashmoney to make a hot pop hit for her birthday. Then at the Oberlin reunion, this Oberlin Friday parody version was playing all over the place and I got the annoying song stuck in my head! However, it wasn't until this very morning that I watched the real video and realized how ridiculously, hilariously close Dan Schloss' Oberlin version is to the real thing. And that is beautiful.

Crate Magazine

I spent a really long time over spring break editing and laying out this little magazine. Sophie can vouch for me sitting at her really awesome drafting table, trying to figure out all the tedious, annoying details of page layout. Anyway, it turned out really well and I'm quite proud of its beauty. The magazine features 4 pieces of fiction that I liked enough to edit myself and you should probably own one: Crate site.

School's OUT

Hence, Sam(antha Lamph) and I felt the need to produce some videos inspired by the beauty, freedom and wonkiness of summer.

Water Inspired

My dear friend Heather gave me an alligator who grew from very tiny to impressively large while submersed in a bowl of water for a few days. During this time, I noticed that the bowl of water, in which the toy was placed, sometimes caught the sunlight and made a cool pattern on the wall. Then, when Robyn and I were recording our podcast, I realized that the sound effects in Garageband would be very cool to use to alter my vocals and make some water-related music. On this rainy afternoon, I put the two together and made a little video ditty:

My Valentine, Tina Fey

In celebration of Valentine's Day, I treated myself to a lovely article in the New Yorker, by my greatest love, Tina Fey. I saved it to read over breakfast this morning. It made my day super. Thank you, Tina Fey. I think you can get sort of an idea of it here.

A Video for Poetry Class

I also made this for poetry class. It may have a good idea in it somewhere. I once, long ago, gave Amy an assignment to walk around in Chicago doing her normal routine and take video footage of her feet walking, so that's where the audio is from. It also stars my sister, Maneka, who, after showing this video in my poetry class, was deemed a budding star by a woman in my class.
