I sort of realized that only a handful of people are on Facebook clicking my profile. And they’re probably in this video. So I’m posting it here to share. Right now Facebook seems to be a decent choice for uploading HD videos. Vimeo only allows one upload per week and it’s capped at 500 MB. Pro only gets you up to 2000 MB. I say “only” because the pro upgrade in Flickr takes you from 200 pictures to unlimited. But me complaining about free services isn’t exactly the most engaging topic, so here are some clip-by-clip notes about the video:
- Wally’s playing the piano in one of the California State University: San Marcos studios.
- Fork in the road to I-15 South.
- Wally shooting me shooting him. We sort of planned to do this for a while and in the original audio I say something like, “This isn’t as cool as I thought it’d be.”
- Karaoke spot. Don’t pick “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” as your song if you’re not prepared to say “Making love out of nothing at all” for the final two minutes of a six minute song. A bonus that night was some random white guy screaming “Mabuhay Tigers ’79!” at our group over and over.
- Daisuke, my favorite sushi chef. Sushi Diner, not shabby at all. In fact, it’s fantastic.
- I don’t know why I put this shot of the McDonald’s cup in here. There are a lot of two-second clips that are better than that. For instance, I was sort of focused on my camera shooting a Jack in the Box cube. It took me a while to realize that it was in front of apparently the biggest Jack in the Box ever. I asked the other guys why it was so huge and Wally says, “It’s the Jack in the Box where dreams become realities.”
- “I might be on vacation but the jumper doesn’t take a day off.” I was like 2 for 15 during this.
- Laura invited us to watch her group sing for the CSU:SM president. We were outside playing basketball beforehand (see above bullet) and basically everyone we saw walk into the building was in slacks and a tie or a dress. We had hoodies. So we were a little hesitant to go in.
- Wally eating noodles at Chopstix. Jason and Curt live a couple minutes away from what an Asian district. There are probably a few dozen restaurants packed into a couple blocks with a few dozen parking spots. Parking can get a little hairy, but it’s worth it.
- Jason ordering breakfast at Spice Diner. Not sure what’s with the name. It’s good, but the guys described it as twice as good as Denny’s. Isn’t that like saying someone’s twice as good as Brian Scalabrine?
- Jason playing the guitar.
- Wally playing DS.
- Me shaving Wally’s head.
- Jason fake-guitaring and Curt fake-pretend-guitaring.
- Jason hooked his iPhone to the car’s auxiliary connection so that we could listen to some songs he had on it, but then he has the sudden urge to demonstrate an app to us.
