Mr. Kicky

We could all use a laugh, or at least a smile, so here is a video of Malcolm, aka Mr. Kicky, abusing his three men in a boat.

Today I love ...

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. They are an ongoing adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, through Lizzie Bennet's video diaries on YouTube. Here is the first one - go watch them all!

A Month in 18 seconds

Here it is - a time lapse video of our garden in 18 seconds. The camera was up for just about 1 month, pointed at the vegetable beds. It got jostled a couple of times, so the frame shifts a bit, but not too bad otherwise for a first attempt!

The batteries died at the end of the month span, which is why the video isn't longer. I might put it up again later in the summer, or wait for fall. I haven't decided yet. When I do put it back up, I am going to choose a different location, one a little closer to the garden. The camera is really made to do close up shots, like a time lapse of a flower opening, so the focus doesn't work as well so far away. And the different lighting conditions every day made the pictures all very different - most of them were taken at 11 or noon (can't remember at the moment which), but have the look of very different times of day.

I got something!

I have actual content for this week, I promise, but first, since this blog is titled "An Archivist's Miscellania," I had to share this hilarious and oh-so-true little video with you. Without further ado: Why you shouldn't become an archivist.

Sex with Ducks music video - awesome!

Because it is Friday and I am feeling lazy, you get another video today. Enjoy! Via Amanda, via Neil. Thanks!

Vote for Ginger!

It is too late for the presidential election, but I thought we could all use a laugh today. Vote for Ginger in your next state election!
