Friday evening is probably not the wisest time to post a new ep…We’ve been having a little too much fun around here with the holidays and all.
In any case, I hope you like this weird dreamish episode… Mario and I certainly enjoyed the Fantasy of Lights in New Haven… people drive for hours to see these giant light people… and I must say it was worth the 10 bucks and the half hour car ride.
Happy New Years to all of you. While 2006 has been an incredible year for me, I sure am excited to greet 2007 in Montreal with the Galacticast kids! I have a real good feeling about ‘07. What about you?
xxoo… and may you all stick to whatever it is you resolve to do.

trippy episode. And yeah I was going to start doing the daily self portrait thing too in 07. Should be fun. Keep up the good work you two.

Your resolution should be to remember to take your car keys out of the ignition the next time you go talk with giant Christmas figures…hehe.
One of those guys could’ve easily stolen your Volvo!

I loved:
- “not in Oxmour anymore” gag
- The camera 2 joke
- Mario’s voices
- The “crowd” cheering at the end
I look forward to seeing your daily photos!

Haha, light displays giving out advice on life, Very “L.A. Story”. I like it.

Amanda in Wonderland! With all those things all those people have been saying. Wowee!! Wonderful. And me along for the ride. I wish you and Mario and crew the finest of New Years and thank you kindly for taking me (and all of us) along for the ride!
Brandon - 12/30/2006 18:07:34
I loved the lights….. I really wish we had something like that around here. However I do agree with Gary, I’ve heard Giant Christmas figures love Volovos!:) Anyway Have a Happy New Year!

I think Amanda is turning into Zippy…
Word of advice: Stay away from muffler men!
Michael - 12/30/2006 22:01:40
See, now *this* is how I like seeing Amanda. I really enjoyed this (and all the tight t shirts over the years) ;p
Happy New Year.
Anthony - 12/30/2006 23:10:08
Sweetness. So the new years resolution is taking pictures of yourself everyday or just of cool things you see? I have a a flickr friend taking pictures of herself everyday and well I started off cool but now on day 215 it seems it bit narcissistic. -Although she isn’t wearing tight t-shirts in them. Happy New Year Amanda & Mario.

Hi Anthony,
The idea is just to take a picture a day… of anything… we’ll see if any of them turn out cool– I hope some do! Really.. I just want to see if I can do it. There is nothing I do every single day right now– aside from eating, I guess, and breathing.

Amanda,
That was great!
Tim - 12/31/2006 04:43:41
In the past month, you committed to a videoblog a week for ABC, launched another one here, and kept the other projects going to boot… as far as I’m concerned, you made your resolutions early. And kept em. Congrats and happy new year Oxmour crew! Thanks for a great 2006.
Michael T - 12/31/2006 06:43:25
An innovative way to talk to your critics. Really wierd. But memorable.

Now this is a good one. Independent is good.

You and Mario just keep getting more edgy and more creative. Bravo for “Amanda in Wonderland ” (thanks d henry), complete with goblins and bad guys. But Amanda exits the tunnel of light calm, peaceful and whole, looking forward the the future with relish.
Good metaphor for us all.
Best to all in the New Year.

Wow I love this vid so much. OMG the Volvo 240 is back w00t w00t. What was that black SUV (looked like a Lexus RX) you was driving in that ABC show? Love the lights having voices and they are mean. Fuck them haters you rock. 
J.J. - 12/31/2006 23:31:24
Happy New Years !1!1 I love how the light figures were personify the critics. It was cool to see your Volvo. I thought you got rid of it or something because in that ABC vid you had a black SUV. Fuck them haters you rock …

They should have had a train made from lights. I like trains.

You sure do some interesting and unusual Video Blogs Amanda. I like your resolution, very much, be great to see that one happen for sure. Happy New Years to you and all. This 2007 is going to be the best 2007 ever.
Bob - 01/02/2007 03:43:03
Nice vlog, Amanda. Very enjoyable.
I am not much on resolutions myself, but like the idea of a photograph-a-day. I look forward to that. Y’know, now that you posted it, you are committed to it.
Jerry - 01/02/2007 04:59:31
Amanda,
It would appear you ended up in Sandy Point Park? If so, the dragon is Chessie, the mythical sea monster of the Chesapeake Bay made popular in one of the Volvo Ocean Races by the entry, Chessy Racing. The boat was privately financed (a huge deal and difficult to do), and they raised money and awareness for the Living Classroom Foundation, an organization dedicated to educating kids using non-traditional settings and methods. Anyway, cool video.
Later,
jerry

[...] Oh, if you haven’t see this week’s Starring… yes I will be taking a picture every day… not a self-portrait… just any picture. The idea is to commit myself to anything, daily, 7 days a week. [...]

You are an inspiration! Very clever. Keep up the great work!!

Wow, I guess I was the only one bored out of my mind.
James from rainy Wales - 01/06/2007 00:58:11
You are my inspiration to start videoblogging this year!
I hope to do one every 2 weeks!
Take care and have a fab 2007.
xxxxx

Wow! … This was classic. We loved it. So now we truly know who invented the camera number two thing.
This is one of the best things you’ve done, in my opinion, and you’ve done some very cool things.
Looking forward to more!
… Richard
