Tag: hometasking

I hid in the T.V. and then popped out to say hi to my Dad.

These past few days and weeks (maybe even months who knows) have been pretty uneventful. All I do is sit around with my family, do work, play video games, and sleep. Every day. Same schedule. So, I saw my suitcase laying around and decided I’d make my camouflage side quest a bit metaphorical. Sometimes I dream about purchasing the first flight I see, no matter where to, and gloriously leaving my house to actually do something interesting. I do know, though, that there are people who have it worse than me, so I’m also trying to make the best out of my quarantine experience. I hope you enjoy my video.

I accidentally recorded this in portrait mode instead of landscape because I hadn’t checked the side quest yet, but I think I was able to better capture the scene I am hidden in. My dogs were very enthusiastic to be involved in my camouflage journey.

For my third hometasking assignment, I turned into a baseball cap! In my front closet my family keeps all our outdoor clothing including winter gloves, ski caps, and hats. On both doors, a cap rack hangs down which has all the caps my dad collects from the golf tournaments he attends and the sponsorships he gets for his local radio show. I took the bottom cap off of the shelf and curled up into a ball so only the cap would be shown initially. My dad started from the top of the rack and lowered the camera until it got to me where I revealed myself. This was the first time I got help from my dad on one of these assignments and he was intrigued by the concept of these hometasks to say the least. He got really into it and given how creative he is he was able to help my plan come to fruition. The challenge of figuring out an idea to do made this the most fun hometask yet because it felt rewarding to watch the final product.

My first plan and second plan have failed. This was my third plan. This video uses a somewhat similar idea from the first video. If you can find me in the first try, you should be a detective. The challenge I faced for this task was that I failed my other plans, so it actually took me three hours to do this assignment, excluding the time I spent to think about the idea. For this time, I did not see videos on twitter, so someone might have already uploaded a similar one. Again, I appreciate my mother for taking a video and giving me the idea of using the technology again.

Wednesday was a magical day, on which all the classes decided to set assignment and test deadlines. This is why my bathroom transformation is late. I don’t truly want a night out now, I’d prefer a break for a movie or some video games. Also, a break from worrying about where to find toilet paper rolls. Even the convenience store near Clairmont has closed for some reason. The chips and “energy drinks” were just intended symbols, not something I would actually consume. Filming myself was the harder part, since I’m alone in my room.

So here, is my idea of going out. Yeah, it seems a bit boring, but honestly I would not want to “go out” any other way. Who said that going out required having a party or being extra? No one!! In fact, I hate going out so actually being anywhere outdoors wouldn’t be “great” for me… so let’s explore this venue.

So, this venue represents the movies…at my bestfriend’s house. She has a big flatscreen TV which we tend to watch a bunch of Netflix movies on (as indicated by the laptop) and the millions of snack and food that my bestfriend’s house has to offer (which I tend to overeat).

So yes, this is my great night out. I’m not in my own house and I am spending the time with the people I adore most. I mean, what better way to spend your time than to be with your bestfriend? Sounds like an amazing night to me, especially for the homebodies!!

Side note: for this assignment, I originally wanted to use the jacuzzi setting on my parent’s bathtub to create a hot-tub party, but things went quite awry. I rarely use their bathtub and I hadn’t used the jacuzzi setting in years, so little did I know what would happen. I filled the tub up to the jacuzzi jet line, and when I pressed the button, the water came surging out at crazy speeds, splashing the water all around the tub: on the ground, sink, mirrors. It scared the daylight out of me and I turned it off almost immediately. It also flung a ton of dirt into the water making it completely unsuitable to bathe. So, one important lesson I learned from this assignment: don’t use the jacuzzi setting! Thankfully I wasn’t in the tub at the time, or else it would have been a disaster.

I later redid this assignment, albeit with a much less unique premise. I brought a boombox (out of commission unfortunately, but a good atmosphere nonetheless), a dart board, and a monster energy drink to make for a fun basement bathroom party. Also, of course, including a roll of toilet paper and hand sanitizer as part of my state-mandated coronacation.
