Video of the Week: Earthquake Tragedy in Haiti
Eliza Leigh and Humanoid Translator | January 13, 2010 | 1:00 pm

Yesterday’s 7.0 earthquake was followed by aftershocks of smaller magnitude but the damage done to the region was catastrophic.  The earthquake struck 10 miles outside the capital of Haiti, causing incomprehensible destruction in the densely populated city while those in Santo Domingo rushed out of their homes during tremors.  With buildings flattened and more barely standing, the amount of people dead or injured is yet unclear but is estimated to be in the thousands.

According to an article on Live Science, there are reports of escaped inmates after the main prison in the capital collapsed today.  Another article from ABC talks about Disaster Relief.

Here is a PhotoEssay from today and yesterday.  Thinking of those effected by this disaster.

Video of the Week: Nota from Sing Off

Do I really need to say more?  They had so many great performances but ding-a-ling hitting those notes is not easy, especially a capella.  Believe me, as a gifted mutant ant even I struggle to- ahhh, stay alive!

“Why are you running away from me Eliza Leigh?  Come back it is only your medicine.”

*Update: Orginally I found a great clip of Nota on YouTube but then TheSingOff channel took them all down.  Waaa!  Ooh, but instead I found the jackpot uploaded from RickeyTVX aka Rickey.Org *

Someone shared this with us and now I want my human to put on a tutu and dance around the apartment singing this.  HA HA HA!

“You see what I have to put up with?  Anyone want to adopt a mutant ant?”

Video of the Week: Base Jumping in Norway
Eliza Leigh and Humanoid Translator | November 4, 2009 | 8:00 am

There were so many different verisons of this clip on YouTube, one even with the song Flying Horses (want to watch that one instead?) but here is any amazing excerpt from Seven Sunny Days.

The 2007 movie was put out by Matchstick Productions.  Have you tried it?

“I’ve stood on a base and jumped up and down does that count?”

Was that the same game your sandal flew off and you needed a knee brace all summer?  Then no that doesn’t count. Please.

Do you remember this show?  It kills me.  Watch the mini episode above. 
I don’t think that was a very good vet, kids don’t try that at home.  Especially if you have cows.

Video of the Week: Mad Men~ Sesame Street Style
Eliza Leigh and Humanoid Translator | October 13, 2009 | 9:00 am

I used to love this show growing up and it’s amazing that it is now into it’s 40th season!  So what’s new on the magical street home to Big Bird? 

A Mad Men spoof. I won’t lie, I still have yet to see the show but perhaps watching puppets mimic first will bring me one step closer!

New episodes of Sesame Street start next month and don’t forget to visit their YouTube channel too.

“Can you tell me how to get…”

Here’s another short clip of Chris Kattan-

“I missed Bollywood Hero.  D e v a s t a t e d.”

So was he when Wendy wouldn’t let him “fake” kiss her.
