In another episode of “Writing Fiction is Tough And Here’s How We Entertain Ourselves Rather Than Staring At The Monitor”, I decided to go No Impact Man one better on the subject of reusable cups, which I posted about below, and VIDEOBLOG an alternative to landfill fodder plastic cups, like for parties, which may not be a reusable alternative (though in version 2 of the video I say it is) and may not be aesthetically optimum but is still not plastic and involves making creative use of otherwise trash items at hand, and since it will be a while before everyone is carrying around their own Mason jars I thought, hey, who doesn’t love easy crafts and you can even enlist the help of partiers.
This presentation was done totally on the wing on a cheap digicam, not a videocam, so forgive the quality, the lack of light, the crappy sound (turn it up) and the entirely unscripted innocence.
As this is our first real attempt at videoblogging, and son H.o.p. liked the second version, while I liked the first, I present both videos below, however self-indulgent this may seem.
Update: If DailyMotion is slow loading in, the second video is also up at Youtube.
Disclaimer: We like green. I don’t think we’ve ever purchased a bag of plastic cups for personal use except for a birthday party for Marty a couple of years ago and my birthday party in June, so please go gentle on us for having a bag of leftover plastic cups in the kitchen. (Of course, all this may mean is that we don’t entertain much, and when we do it’s on a very small scale.)
