Two things:
Lauren’s “Video ideas for NaVloPoMo” is a great idea in itself.
You can see Valdez‘s attic here. You have been warned. I am not responsible for any night terrors or low self-esteem.
For contrast, see David Howell’s attic, posted on Day 1 of NaVloPoMo. But although that’s comforting in its chaos, it’s disturbing for entirely different reasons.
More! More workspaces! Feed me!

Don’t tell me I don’t know how to have fun on a Friday night. After 12 hours of editing in my pajamas, what I really wanted to do was get dressed and take my bad skin and hair out into a brightly lit depersonalized future retail experience. Utopian or Dystopian? You decide.

Finally, I think I’ve pushed through my period of panic and uncertainty and unhappiness with my work.
I wanted to find a way to balance money-earning work and uncommercial creative work better – and to make good money from my skills and talents without having to do the same thing week in, week out. I’m easily bored and am much happier working on new ideas and completing projects quickly.
So: stop the simple cheap websites for people – start making more online video for slightly larger companies doing good things who need video to tell their stories better.
Short, well-paid, achievable projects, and no guilt for spending time working on personal video projects (self-development).
It seems obvious, but JESUS it’s taken me a long time to work it out.
Thank you Katie for putting up with me through these recent Black Dog days and helping me see the light.

Billy: Jules, y’know, honey… this isn’t real. You know what it is? It’s St. Elmo’s Fire. Electric flashes of light that appear in dark skies out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them… there was no fire. There wasn’t even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got tough, just like you’re making up all of this. We’re all going through this. It’s our time at the edge.
Friday night is fish and chip night – this is the chippie at the end of our road.

Yesterday evening, on the way home over London Bridge in rush hour, listening to my iPod, I was overwhelmed by the urge to flip open my phone and record this for the VlogDeathmath.com Drunk Underwear Karaoke Challenge.
It’s not for the win, just something silly I did in one shot last night to get the ball rolling, because nobody else had posted on yet. And to show people that they don’t need to get too freaked out by any issues of quality, production values, nakedness or anything else. You just need to cut loose.
So it’s not on the scale of Anarchy in the UK, but it was fun to do anyway.
The rules of the latest Deathmatch are to use any or all of the words Drunk Underwear Karaoke as a basis for your video.
I wasn’t drunk, or in my underwear (i was tempted) but yesterday was my last day of work before a month-long holiday in Canada, so I *was* totally lightheaded with joy. Or maybe it was that I’d lost my wallet and hadn’t eaten anything all day.
Turns out that the challenge was designed to attract non-videobloggers to the Pioneer Two Boots movie theater in New York where these entries will be screened on 11 August. If I’d known it was going to be shown to an audience on a big screen when I recorded it, I would have done it at twice the resolution. And I would have done it in my underwear. And I definitely would have done it drunk.
So – videobloggers – come and join the party. You’ll get your videos shown on a big screen in New York. What are you waiting for? Get drunk, get naked, get down…

I was quite excited. Can you tell? The whole thing – before, during and after – was pretty intense.
I’d almost forgotten how incredible he is, what an amazing performer and musician… and how many hits he’s had.

Oh, and then scroll down to see all the songs he’s written for other people.
He plays guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, saxaphone. And composes, arranges, produces, performs everything at high levels of perfectionism.
AND HE ROCKS
