So during last weekend's camping trip, after dinner* we were singing annoying songs at each other, as one does. And someone succeeded at annoying all too well. I STILL haven't gotten "On the Good Ship Lollypop" out of my head.
By way of attempted distractions, various short movies:
Lotte Time Lapse: from newborn to twelve years old in under three minutes using weekly video snippets instead of stills, which as many have noted adds an interesting animated quality to the progression. (via)
An asteroid flyby.
Shakespeare sonnets as pretty good modern pop songs played on period instruments, with streaming examples. (via)
* Feel free to imagine this was around a campfire, the usual setting for this sort of thing. However, comma, we've heavy restrictions on open fires these days -- instead, it was over Uno, which is almost the same thing only with fewer marshmellows.
