we stopped in virginia before we headed up to new england for a couple weeks. i took jay's dad's dogs for a little walk, or rather they took me...

we made it to nelson's house.

as we finish moving cross country, i am starting to go through my stuff at my mom's house which she is also moving out of. all this moving... it's really strange reading old journals and seeing old photos and videos. keep some, throw most away. p.s. don't my mom's cats look like some alternate reality version of battle cat and white baby? p.p.s it's videobloggging week 2008. go get 'em!

i was laughing my ass off when verdi and jay picked up the wii. i've never actually seen anyone use this, oddly, and i thought it was so funny. also this is one of the only clips i recorded during our trip on my xacti. i just never picked it up. jay took lots of photos though. have a lot of stuff for ryanishungry on tapes though! i think that was enough for me. videoblogging week 2008 starts tomorrow. time to video things for real!

we left california 14 days ago. can't believe it's been 2 weeks already. and we're only half way across the US in missouri at richard and maureen's house. we've been taking our time and staying with people for a few days at a time. have not actually been taping a lot, except for a few ryanishungry shoots (soon to come).

our last week in SF, we took the train to and from the city to work on a video shoot. SF is a beautiful place to ride the train for sure.

as we prepared to leave SF, we decided to do some things like go to the beach. what there is a beach 10 miles away? i like that people before us made a little see-saw bridge and wrote in the sand.

we visited this radical squat-community called can masdeu in barcelona. they have these amazing gardens on this beautiful land over looking barcelona and out to the sea. their story is really interesting- they took over the abandoned building in 2001 by just staging a sit in (ok it was a little more dramatic than that). this footage is sound-less again.

Warning: This video has no sound! our camera was totally broken by the end of the trip. well at least it took images! barcelona was awesome. i'll have a wee bit more footage of this farm/squat/coop we visited too. ah europe, good times!!

the eiffel tower made my hands sweat. i'm not good with heights, esp open air heights. yikes! but it was definitely worth it.
