was editing an interview from thailand today and found this footage tacked onto the end of it. it was this little bunny pen at this place we stayed at for a few days. i was missing my kitties and became very attached to hanging out with the bunnies. they are so cute!!! i couldn't get enough, as you can see.

day 6 of NaVloPoMo, yeah!

Process: The Bathroom

Click To Play

when jay and i moved into the eco-village apartment, we painted the entire thing. my favorite room is the bathroom. i feel like the bathroom can be a little more experimental when it comes to color than any other room. it's small, it has a bunch of fixtures, you can get bold and not ruin a whole room. it also has a lot of light, so the dark walls don't make it feel like a cave. i had fun with this one. been meaning to post this for 6 months now!

as you can see this happened almost exactly 2 years ago. yes, it's taken me 2 years to post this. i'm glad NaVloPoMo, National Vlog Posting Month, has given me the motivation to do so. the weird thing about this video? that it was almost exactly 2 years ago AND i'm wearing the exact same shirt as i was on that day.

today is the first day of november, which is now NaVloPoMo or National Vlog Posting Month which is a riff off of National Blog Posting Month which originated as National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo. so, a bunch of us are posting a video a day for all of november. can we do it? YES. so can you! just start posting today (or tomorrow or the next day or whenever) and join the little ning group so we all know to encourage each other. post anything and everything. think of it not as a month of toil, but a month of FREEDOM!!

i think i'll be pulling things from my archive that i've been meaning to post for a while. this is good motivation for sure!
