I’m sure the past couple of months have been trying for a lot of folks the world over; but I want to say that it has been especially taxing on those of us living in certain parts of the United States. As a resident of one of the areas heavily affected by these events; I just want to say I’m glad it’s mostly behind us and the we can all move forward with our daily lives in a (hopefully) constructive manner.
A personal physical foot injury has made me a little late in June’s update (could barely walk for a week!), but to be frank there hasn’t been a lot of “good” news to report of anything off the beaten path. When society tends to become a little more pessimistic overall, the usual “weird but harmless” news dies down a lot, and the people interested in the more abstract and artful way of life also get consumed by the same noise. So I’m going to take the time to get “retro” on you and recommend something that I have already done so for years over on The List which is Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. The reason I’m bringing this back up is because the staff over at that site have an excellent way of digging up really fascinating and wacky news events from around the world that are paranormal or just plain weird. I think we can all use this time to take a break from the ordinary and I highly suggest you visit the Coast to Coast Articles page and get lost in some rabbit holes you never thought you would go down.
The next YouTube recommendation really doesn’t need an introduction, but some of you out there might have been living under a rock for the past few years. His name is the Lock Picking Lawyer and he does the world a public service by showing you how inept and laughably bad most locks are constructed now-a-days that are meant to protect your valuables and bodies. A must watch if this is the first time you’ve heard of him, as his library of videos will make you question every purchase decision you ever made regarding security in a static form!
I’m also going to take this time to share some further love for Jake Williams over at BSF and his upcoming documentary “Closed for Storm”. I’ve been looking forward to the release of this for quite some time now but unfortunately due to the recent world events unfolding, the indie / theatrical release was indefinitely pushed back as Jake (the director of the film) had to look for alternative options in releasing it in digital format as a premiere. You can watch the trailer below.
I’m going to end the June update with another audio blog to round things out. It may seem a bit rambling so I apologize ahead in advance, but it’s been a bit tiring since the last update. Hopefully the rest of June until July will be more exciting and uplifting for all parties invovled. Have a cheerful summer Isabelle from Animal Crossing! (Artist is Kajjura)
