Four
days before Valentine's Day. Yay? Nay? Who cares? Should we
care? Wait, why am I mentioning this? Whatever. The weather has been
annoying where I am lately with these biting cold
days, and then there was a day with freezing
rain that left the sidewalks full of slippery ice! Much of it has
been salted by now, but now it's snowing quite plentifully. Oh,
Canada! God keep our land safe! Anyways, let's discuss the following
videos: Henry
Hudson Senior Public School - Walk around,
Heather Heights Junior Public School - Walk around, and
Ellesmere
Evening Walk And Random Detour. Let's
start chatting!
I
don't know what to talk about. I'm sorry, but I have to be real and
honest here. Kind of makes you wonder why bother even doing an entry
then? Well, because I can think about what I should discuss, and then
transfer it from my brain to the keyboard as my fingers dance
gracefully across the board. A heavy snow shovelling truck just
passed my house as I type this – alright
let's get serious here! So, this school was covered rather quickly,
and I because I didn't bother wandering
down the street or out into some fields or something, I decided to
just toss a whole heap of pictures into the video to give it more
“meat”. How was the exploration? Pretty boring to be honest.
That's why I honestly had to think about what I'm going to discuss
here, because there really wasn't much I have
to say about this boring walk around. And to add insult
to injury, it was a nippy -7°C which made my finger tips
uncomfortably cold. So cold, that I had to let my
hands warm up before wandering across Heather Heights Park to film
the namesake school, Heather Heights. Would've helped to wear warmer
gloves, but they don't feel as flexible as my lighter leather gloves.
Despite
being a supposedly smaller building, this school was more interesting
to film than its middle school counterpart, Henry
Hudson.
There was just more interesting things to point out, film and
photograph, making the walk around a lot more fun. What wasn't fun,
was the decision to axe the original audio and dub it with studio
commentary. As I explained in the video, I felt it was the right
thing to do. I personally found the constant weird whistle, hissing,
and rubber sounds annoying, thus
I had to
choose between chatting or copyright-free music. There's been a few
cases where I just left the video silent altogether, and
some I where I went with music. It
was late, didn't feel like searching up songs, so I just went with
chatting since it was the quickest, easiest thing to do. Went well.
And to answer a question that came in the video, the school is
located on Slan Avenue. Now we know. Let's
talk about that Ellesmere walk now.
So
after successfully filming and photographing
Henry Hudson and Heather Heights (kind of sounds like they could be a
couple, eh?) I went for a stroll on Ellesmere. No deer to be seen
this time, but as the title states,
I made a random right turn off into the woods. Who was with me? What
happened? When? Where did this happen? And most importantly, why the
hecklersnappers did I did this?! Well, because I felt like
it. Seriously, I wanted to “spice it up” a bit, so I decided to
go
over the divider and entered the forest which happened to be a part
of Morningside Park. So what did I discover in there? Nothing super
special. Just got to satisfy my curiousity and walked through some
woods, which is something I haven't done since mid-January.
While getting in there wasn't overly challenging, getting out was due
to the risk of sliding back down the slope into the woods again! The
entry that I took had a lot of frost-dried plants that helped with
traction, but coming back up for some reason was a challenge.
Actually, the real challenge was finding the exit..... When I
u-turned I thought I would've returned back to the same spot, only to
realize that I ended up coming out onto Morningside instead of
Ellesmere! Mamma mia! What a wild, silly trip! Got out safely, and
went home that day with 3 outdoors videos for YouTube. Score! I know
how much y'all love the outdoor photographs on Instagram,
so you'll be pleased to know that you'll have lots to see soon. Not
so much from this particular video, but plenty from the other two.
I
am not pleased with myself this
week
for such poor time management and procrastination. Believe it or not,
I had intentions to get two
commentary
videos done, and perhaps a gaming video. Did that happen? Nope!
Instead I ended up editing these outdoors videos yesterday, when they
were supposed to be finished on Monday!
And now here I am typing this entry here on Friday, which is fine,
but there would've been 5, maybe even 6 videos to talk about, if I
wasn't so slack and unorganized this week! Argh! Better
luck next week, though the 2nd
topic I wanted to do will be irrelevant by then, but I can always do
something else... Need to get it together and be organized, hard
working, focused,
and
consistent.
