just spent an hour or so watching home movies from 89/90…it was weird. we were looking for the video footage of pennsylvania. i think i’ll stop there in describing what they were about, because well…a bunch of people could suddenly come under suspicion of the CIA… lol. we couldn’t find the footage we wanted though, of the car on fire…
but we did find video of (woah this guy on tv had nipple rings, yum) my 10th birthday party…it was weird. there was this girl carrie there…i was friends with her in elementary school, then she turned into miss cheerleader, so of course i wasn’t “allowed” to be friends with her anymore really…but in this video we’re having a dance party on my deck and she’s just standing in the back, all shy… and then she turns into a slut. lol…very strange to see.
there was also footage of me and neighbors bowling. HAHA it’s so funny. i’m the only one who can actually hold the ball and throw it the right way, the other girls were doing the under the legs bit…gutter balls every time. almost every time. so i guess i do bowl better now than i did when i was a kid.
there was also video of me and ex bestfriend angela playing barbies in my room, and angela goes and waves a naked barbie doll in front of the camera and goes “naked barbie!!!” lol…there is alot of footage of me and angela doing various things….she was my best friend for 11 years. there is footage of us on one tape dancing in the living room to Paula Abdul. lol.
but apparantly our videos were boring my uncle, who wanted to see them to begin with. so we stopped. gonna watch more tomorrow when they leave. there’s all kind of tape of me in chorus in 4th and 5th grade, my solos.. etc…hehe.. i’m talented!
there is something about overexposed black and white images that i really love….
watching mtv’s 100 greatest vids ever made…down to the last 10 now. i was also trying to read about mental retardation, but haha that’s not happening. i turned it on randomly cuz i was tired of watching vh1’s all hiphop day, and it was INXS’s “need you tonight/mediate” video…these kinds of countdowns suck, cuz all the videos are good LOL and it makes me want to watch. even songs i hate by people i hate (ie missy eliot) i watch, cuz they are good… oh shit did i miss the best part of this vid? 2pac dancing on the platform? (it’s california love video hehe i love this song)…nope, was just on, hehe. i used to know all the words to this song hahah…anyway…madonna’s “express yourself” video is so metropolis inspired…of course never noticed before, since i hadn’t heard of the movie then…she dances on the M machine… i think it’s the M machine…no wait, it’s not.. no wait, it is… the M machine before it blows up and becomes Moloch and eats people…and the steam whistle is in the vid alot too…and shots of the town with the trains and airplanes around….of course its not AS inspired by Metropolis as Queen’s “radio ga-ga”…that vid is like PURE metropolis…they even ride in a train going around the city with a background of what the city would look like from that persepective. it’s great. i actually had a metropolis-eque dream last night… that i was looking at geneseo, and it was a big city, and buildings were moving, and i looked very metropolis like…
and speaking of metropolis, theatres in Toronto are playing the movie with scenes not in most releases… dunno if its the Georgio Moroder version or not…i’m thinking it’s not…so it would be silent…i wanna go see it, but yeah, that’s not going to happen…wish i lived in a city where cool stuff like that happened.
i really don’t see what is so great about the beastie boys’ “sabotage” video….it’s dumb i think.
some politician stopped over about an hour ago. i answered the door in my pjs, wrapped in a blanket, hair all messy. he wanted to talk to my mom, introduce himself. she’s not here. apparantly he didn’t think i was of legal voting age, since he didn’t talk to me about him running for whatever…cuz i’m not 21…and voting age isnt 18… ok well one less vote for you buddy!
