Video of the Week: Summer Time Stress

Eliza Leigh and Humanoid Translator — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 13:40:09 +0000

All right now before you watch this video, which is almost 5 minutes long but pay close attention around the minute mark, put yourself into the boy’s shoes… err swim trunks… just pretend you’re him okay! Then after you are afraid you’re going to fall to your death from the lifeguard’s stoop-

“Hey it is a steep drop.”

I bet you’ve gotten stuck on a chair before too human, in your short case probably the one in the kitchen. But back to the video, ask yourself if you were his dad would you have been so patient with him? Or if you were the mother after almost five minutes would you have got up there and coaxed him down with a gentle pat on the back?

“I think you’d be cackling Eliza.”

No someone else is already doing that.

Have you ever gotten up somewhere but were afraid to come back down? This boy overcomes his fear with the help of his loving parents…Enjoy.

Video of the Week: Earthquake Tragedy in Haiti

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 *

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 — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:00:00 +0000

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…”

How you doin?

“Great, thanks for asking.”

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.
