Inside My Head Podcast number 3.12 for NaPodPoMo 2009.

I hate road construction! I especially hate road construction that happens right in front of my house. The mobile home complex we live in has decided to re-do all the little streets in here. They did this same thing about a year ago. I cannot imagine this is necessary to do all over again, so soon.

I happen to have allergies to dust, all kinds of dust. It causes me to wheeze, and potentially have an asthma attack. Needless to say, I am not at all pleased with the dust clouds produced by the construction workers right now. I am going to be sick all day, thanks to them. Not fair!

I filmed the first part of this video while standing on my front porch. The second part was filmed through my window, as I stood inside and looked out. By then, the dust was too bad for me to have safely gone out there.

Welcome to my nightmare.

Inside My Head Vidcast 6

Not too long ago, I was coming home from work, and driving through the maze of orange cones the construction crew had set up. They are still working on my street, (and very likely will be until sometime in November). When I got home, and parked my car, this video is what I saw on the street right outside my house.

The construction crew is getting used to me. As soon as I got out there, I heard one guy yell : “Hey! She’s taping! She’s taping” Another guy waved “hello” as he passed by. A third guy yelled : “Hey! Can we get a copy of that!” I, of course, nodded my head and yelled back : “It’ll be on Youtube”. It is the third guy you see waving at the camera at the start of this video.

It has taken me a while to get around to putting together this video. I decided that today was an appropriate time to get it done for a few reasons. I just had another round of dental work done on Thursday, (a few days ago), and I figured out when Shawno and I recorded the newest episode of Hyper Nonsense earlier that it hurt to talk. So, I didn’t really think I had the energy to do a regular Inside My Head podcast episode tonight. Also, I was putting this video together on the Fourth of July. Nothing says “summer” and “America” more than road work, right?

Enjoy.

The construction crew that has basically taken up residency in my street is back again. This time around they have moved closer to my front door, and blocked off my access point to the street. Nice!

Inside My Head Videocast number one

This is my very first video ever.
My inspiration comes from the endless construction work that has been going on since February on the street where I live, and the incredibly angry mood I have been in lately.

Note the gigantic clouds of dirt and dust kicked up by the construction equiptment. Yummy! Oh, so healthy for me.

Music by:
All That Remains, with a song called “The Air That I Breathe”.

Inside My Head show number Fifty!

Instead of doing what I usually do in a typical Inside My Head Show, I decided to mix things up a little. This show contains a “soundscape” of the damned Construction workers, and all their noisemaking, dust creating, hole digging equipment that annoyed me and Shawno, greatly, overnight one night. Yes, they started working at night, and stayed on through until morning. Fun, fun, fun!

Listen as we try and discover answers to important questions, such as:
*What are they hoping to find under the street?
*What is so special about whatever is under the street that compels them to create more and more big holes?
*How many construction workers does it take to use a shovel?
and
*Just how many times are they going to move that blue pipe from one end of the street to the other?

You can actually hear my breathing get worse as the recording goes on. Fun!
