Generation Why: A Damn Good Night

I recently shot some footage at a party and then slapped a trailer together using a new feature in iMovie that requires little effort and guarantees the cliche-est trailer possible. Some of the best stuff I couldn't fit in because the segments were longer than would make sense in a trailer. Maybe I'll find a use for them someday.

Either I don't know what I'm doing or Blogspot has an inability to embed videos without cutting off the ends, so here's a link: Generation Why: A Damn Good Night

Bison Bookend

I added a shelf on my wall a little while ago so I'd have a place to put the rest of my books, but I quickly realized I needed a bookend to actually keep those books up.


I got a couple pieces of scrap wood that I thought would make a good bookend from Arts and Scraps and just nailed them together. I then added a bison from Learning Express Toys in Ann Arbor just to make it rule a little harder.


The shelf was recycled from an earlier shelf I had in a closet in Chicago, having cut it in half for this, the wood was free for helping clean up from the car that ran into Arts and Scraps' building, and I got the bison at cost since I used to work at Learning Express Toys and still have an "in" with the manager. This made the total expense for shelf and bookend three dollars.
