A confession of sorts

Ii might as well admit that I haven't been posting videos lately. After all, it's not like it's a secret.

BUT I HAVE AN EXCUSE

And here it is : I've been super busy lately because of school and everything that I do for school. So has the cameraperson. So we haven't had time to film videos, I haven't had time to edit them,post them, and so forth.

I have therefore decided to not post any videos for another six weeks, which will hopefully give me time to work at my backlog and let school become a bit less hectic. Because, you know, that's a thing.

Also, I really can't be bothered to go on Facebook, which is probably why I've so recently gotten an account.

See you in six weeks then!

Episode 19 : a very short video that I still think is worth watching

As said in the title, this video is very short. however, I think this issue s important and should be considered more often in pop culture.

Episode 18 : Horror movies. The other kind. Well ... one of them

Do you like scary movies?
If you don't, it won't matter that much, cause the horror movies I'll be talking about aren't that scary.
They do have specific tropes, if not cliches, that they follow, though.

If you liked this video, you might want to check out this blog, my facebook page (here) or follow me on twitter ( @fromankyra ) you don't have to, of course. It is entirely and totally your choice. But you might find my ramblings and complaints about things 'm watching, reading, and learning amusing.

Also, I now have a twitter account, @fromankyra , which sound weird now I think it out loud, where I say random things and comment on pop culture among other things.

Episode 15

I'm sorry I'm late. Unfortunately, unavoidable circumstances can rarely be avoided. This isn't a joke. So remember fish don't grow on trees.

Maybe a dillemma?

Episode 13 : Bah! Peanuts!

While one might debate the faithfulness and cuteness of dogs, we all know of a certain beagle that could capture all of our hearts.

This is not a video about him.
This video is about the ohsomuchcooler Linus.

In a dark time of year with no movies and tv shows on break, only one thing can save us from absolute boredom : Joss Whedon shows.

So if you're coming home from a hard day or at home because of the snow like me - yay!- why don't you relax and watch some Buffy

Episode 11 : a non-seasonal episode

Being the person I am, instead of posting something nice and festive to greet you into the new year, I post this.

Happy New Year!

episode 10 : the inevitable christmas episode

While I was making this episode, the cameraperson asked some questions that you might yourself ask . among them were :
 - If you don't have much time to film, why are you wasting time telling us?
 - Why are you filming a Christmas episode on Christmas eve?
 - Why are you filming this in literally the only - seriously, only - room in your house that has no Christmas stuff?
 - Why is your password "guess" ?

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to these questions. If I did, maybe I wouldn't be sat here writing this post on Christmas Eve.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

Episode 9 : Shoes and Ballgowns

I'm sorry I'm late, but you have to admit that there is a certain irony to the fact that I'm late posting a video about Cinderella.
If you watch this before midnight ...

actually, don't get your hopes up. nothing particular will happen. It'll just be kinda nice.
Do I really need to say it?  The password is "guess".

Also, I don't think a christmas video will be possible. :)

Episode 8 : books and movies

I'm so so so sorry I'm late.
Internet problems.

Episode 7 : More and more doctor who

If I'm ever allowed to be emotional or any other word for it, it's about Doctor Who.

Back in a Flash!
(Bit anticlimactic I guess, plus a lie, but hey, I just watched the latest episode of the Flash, so ... )

Episode 6 : A rant that you can agree or disagree with

This is an opinion. A fairly strong one. Please don't kill me if you disagree.

Oh, and also ; in the video, I say millions of people murder me. I'm not being pretentious, just using a hyperbole as a figure of speech. And before you ask, a hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech. Look it up. I'm trying not to be a hypocrite.

Not exactly a christmas episode

Two things :

First, I know it's November, but still, when your nearby shopping center is playing tinny versions of Christmas carols you love and amazon is bombarding your inbox with black friday and Christmas deals, it tends to get annoying pretty quickly.

Second : it is stirrup Sunday this weekend, so a video about Christmas traditions ... Why not ?

And a merry not yet Christmas season to everyone.

Episode 4 : Horror movies and surviving them

It's not Halloween. I should really get better at timing these videos.
Gotta go, the phones ringing.
Oh, and the password is "guess", like usual.

Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, have a *spooky* day.


This won't work. I can't do the cheesy *spooky* thing, let aone on writing.  Just ignore that last line, it didn't work. Which begs the question as to why I don't just backspace it.
Hey ...

Why world wars alliteration something or other.

Remember Remember
 the fifth of November
Gunpowder, Treason and ... Not.

So in todays video, there is no Guy Fawkes, no V for Vendetta, no Paddington Bear and no Doctor Who adventure games.
I didn't forget Guy Fawkes night as such, just made this video a long time ago so didn't realise that it would get published today. So no fireworks.
The password is, as always, "guess"

Happy fifth of november. Remember to burn those Guys!

Episode 2 : go check the video for the title

I guess this is where I make some Halloween related puns, or quote a horror film or something. Oh wait, I got it : once you watch this video, you have seven days to share it with someone or something really funny won't happen. Dunno what this thing is though.

The password is "guess".

episode 2 : the reason why some characters shouldn't be killed off. Also, happy halloween. from ThegirlfromAnkyra on Vimeo.


I know : On the day of the dead, when the year too dies,
                 Must the youngest open the oldest hills
                 Though the door of the birds where the breeze breaks
                 There fire shall fly from the raven boy
                 And the silver eyes that see the wind
                 And light shall have the harp of gold.

Take that as you will : A warning, an interesting story, or a great book quote for Halloween.
