The Internet: One can find so many ridiculous and entertaining things on it. Pictures of cats with captions, people blogging their odd everyday experience, and thousands upon thousands of assorted random videos. Since I currently lack the creative energy to comment upon something, I’d like to share with you some of things I have found on my Internet wanderings:
This video is titled The Sandman and was created by a gentleman called Paul Berry. It was created in 1992 and has won several film awards around the world. This one caught my eye because it was a retelling of a European folk tale. Its animation has a very creepy, but somewhat childish tone to it. If you can handle the creep factor, the short is quite well done and makes an excellent video to share with some friends on a slow night.
This website is a series of blog entries detailing the adventures of an American teaching English in the Japanese school system through a program called JET. He comments on his experience teaching Japanese children and being a foreigner in Japanese structured society. The entries are largely comic in nature, with nicknamed characters making reappearances through the entries. I’d recommending starting from the begin for such a reason.
Will It Blend? is a series of advertisement videos for Blendtec. The videos are short and are simple, consisting of an intro, some catchy music, and the host Tom Dickson dropping an item into a Blendtec blender. Its amazing to see what these blenders can do and the after effects of the blendings are usually amusing to watch. The short nature of the videos also makes them perfect to sneak in after a lunch break at work or during a slow day.
Well, I have quiz tomorrow on Buddhism, so studying must be done. Night folks!
