I was thinking about this earlier this evening when I was talking to Clover. E had pulled away a chair from in front of a draw, and pulled out a pen to take its cap off. I easily reached over and took it away from em. It occurred to me that e was capable of all those actions, and that I should learn to trust Clover. So I gave em back the pen, and verbally instructed em on putting it back in the drawer, closing it and moving the chair back in place.
Clover turns 18 months old in a week. I don’t want em to ever shut up and sit down. ^_^
As far as toddler obsessions go, this isn’t bad. Clover can watch it over and over and over and over… and over again. Susan is getting em hooked on all kinds of interesting things.
I am actually fine with it, I enjoy Susan Reed’s version. If you visit the comments for the YouTube video, you will find all these folks who know alternate verses. It is pretty cute.
I didn’t think I would get into children’s songs, but I can see why they are so enjoyable. ^_^
Whoo, been a long day! I almost didn’t make this post today, but it turns out like most World Order videos, it is the perfect way to decompress before resting.
This video starts out with some great shots of what looks like an area in Kyoto, kept up in a style from the past. Basically, where every highschool aged person goes to for festivals (in anime), and where every samurai rebellion happens (in anime, and sometimes for reals). I love it!
However, what really gets me about this video is that it is more tender and personal than the others, with the crew interacting differently than in past videos. Their hand movements and patterns, while still synchronized in a machine-precise way, are more intimate. I know, that sounds like a funny assessment, but I think it is part of the narrative. It could be that the robot salary men are becoming more human with each message. We’ll have to see how it develops. ^_^
Oh, and we got to see some ninja signing and techniques being done! Genki Sudo really held back, considering his background. That sequence was well done, especially considering how many times they had to perform it, in different locations.
Okay, next video in a couple of days, with a very interesting message, and their most intricate scene yet!
I actually heard about this on NPR, and I liked the song, but what really piqued my interest was the mention of an “invisible horse dance” that is going viral.
I love this video! It is so over the top, and is allegedlysocial commentary on the difference between the rich and poor in South Korea.
