Today, I mowed my lawn for the first time since we moved into the new house. We’ve been here for almost four months, but our grass is pretty scrubby. It was thick in places, but I felt like I was mostly cutting weeds.
There are two things here that are potentially interesting:
1. I haven’t cut grass since I lived with my parents in high school about 15 years ago. I’ve been an apartment dweller in those years and haven’t had to worry about a lawn.
2. My parents were gracious enough to buy us a lawnmower as a house warming present. Thing is, it’s a corded electric mower. It’s what I wanted, but it takes some getting used to, having to mind the cord. So every time I have cord issues, I think to myself I could be having gas issues or starter issues or destroying the environment issues. And then I’m happy with my cord, even though I got some strange looks from people driving by.
Caught this video on the YouTube front page the other day, and I thought it was really well done. The song fits the images very well. I can’t tell if they took a ton of still shots and edited them together or if they took small video clips and removed frames to get the herky-jerky feel. But whatever they did, I like it.
I already posted this on April Fool’s Day on my new tumblelog, but I think it’s good enough to post twice. The guy who directed this video has produced a bunch of great re-enactments of scenes from famous movies. He’s my favorite YouTuber by a long shot. Hope you enjoy.
