Good thing we're recording ourselves shaving your beard

Yesterday Vunner and I were going to shoot a time lapse movie of him trimming and eventually shaving his beard. We needed a room with a plain background that wouldn't be in the way of his housemates, so we ended up shooting the time lapse movie in the bathroom in the basement of his house.

This resulted in Vunner sitting on the toilet in his tiny bathroom with his Macbook sitting on top of two boxes in front of him while I occasionally leaned over with a pair of scissors and cut a little bit of his beard hair.

'Ya know,' I said a few minutes into filming, 'this would be a lot creepier if we weren't recording everything.'
'Yeah,' he agreed. 'then we'd just be two guys in a small bathroom shaving a beard. The camera makes this an art project. Without it, you'd just be trimming my beard while I sit on the toilet and use my laptop.'
'This scene is more normal because your laptop has a built-in camera.'

(work.)

Somewhere, the same thing is happening but with a small change:
A roommate walks by two guys in the bathroom.  One guy is sitting on the toilet and shaving his face in front a laptop while the other guy appears to be helping him.  The roommate asks,
"Hey guys, does that laptop have a camera?"
"No."
"Fags."

Thanksgiving time-lapse movie

How was my Thanksgiving, you ask?



I remember it happening very quickly.

Video courtesy of Dad.

(Saturday.)

If you're looking for me in the video, I'm the guy toward the middle of the frame sitting next to a lady (girlfriend Amy) and a younger dude (cousin Andy). This video showed me that I look goonish even in fast forward.

My buddy Ryan was kind enough to point out that shortly after the video was posted, the Youtube recommendations were:
  1. Hobbit reversed wind technique
  2. EAT SHIT MOTHERFUCKER! (sadly, this video isn't up anymore, but I'm sure it was charming)
  3. cat running into a wall
