Surveillance Camera Log #1: Hal Eats Veggie Salami (Kitchen)

Posted by: Hal
Tags: hal, relationships, surveillance, documentary, exposure, favourite, diary, culture

So over at Doc HQ Sally and her team of Peep elves are busy trying to get the chaos of all the filming into some kind of usable order so they can start to assemble the documentary. Among other things, they have gone through the hundreds of hours of surveillance camera footage from the summer and logged it. I’ll be putting these logs up on the blog as they become available. This log is from the kitchen. There were, at the time, cameras in the kitchen, family room, basement and basement bathroom. Enjoy.

People I No Longer Talk To

Here’s my Peep Site of the moment:

People I No Longer Talk To

A blog redolent with regret, nostalgia, and bewilderment featuring the true stories of people who have fallen out with other people and no longer speak with them, often for no particular reason.

Here’s a short sample from a much longer post: “Phil. We met through a mutual high school friend. After college, and into our twenties, we became the best of friends. We saw each other often and talked on the phone. He was always involved in dysfunctional relationships, including a 16 year old girl that he started seeing when he was in his late 20s. He bought her breast implants and she dumped him…

The Sandwich

Last week, director Sally brought the film crew over the house to film a scene she’d come up with. The plan was to record me making a sandwich. No big deal for me. I’d already napped, urinated, played Scrabble, gotten drunk, wandered around half naked, made spaghetti and pretty much done everything else I normally do during the course of my life on camera for the Peep doc, so why not make a sandwich?

But of course the sandwich wasn’t the point at all. Sally promptly informed me of two little tidbits: First, I should gather the phone numbers of everyone I knew on the planet. Why? I asked. Because, she told me, you are going to call each and everyone one…

Hockey: Washington Capitals fake Twitter Accounts and Hal Gets Into Shape

So another hockey season is creeping up. Hockey is my sport. I’m not every good, admittedly, but that doesn’t stop me from lacing up the skates every chance I get. My beer league team’s first game is Sunday night. Unfortunately for me, a summer of travel and then a long vacation featuring a lot of haggis and scotch has left me in terrible shape. Ah well, all I can do is hit the ice and try to work it off.

I’m also a bit of a fanatic when it comes to following my favourite team The Washington Capitals. (I picked up the Caps bug when I lived in suburban DC as a kid.)

So here’s an…

Shit My Dad Says - hilarious Twitter Feed

Tags: relationships, documentary, favourite, cewebrity, personal, twitter

I’m back and I’m posting. Let’s start it off with a funny twitter feed called Shit My Dad Says by a 28 year old who lives with his 78 year old dad. Check this out, it’s my brand of humour. Here are a few samples:

  • “The dog don’t like you planting stuff there. It’s his backyard. If you’re the only one who shits in something, you own it. Remember that.”
  • “How the fuck should I know if it’s still good? Eat it. You get sick, it wasn’t good. You people, you think I got…
