Uploaded by Ryanne Hodson of RyanEdit.Blogspot.com who writes in her original post:

"sometimes i feel a little crazy and i need to share it. do you feel crazy too? let's feel crazy together. we flew overnight from San Fran to NYC. haven't been here since we moved last year. it feels different because we're staying in a hotel and not in our apartment. so much happening all the time, i can barely keep up. sometimes i forget to do things i was supposed to do. talk of vloggercon happening again happened today. it's overwhelming and exciting. what comes next? i don't know, but can i get a witness? i need a witness and some company in the insanity that is just life. let's go."

Journey :: by Yuliya Lanina

Yuliya Lanina uploaded her stop-motion animated short, "Journey" to SpinXpress yesterday.

Yuliya writes:

"Stop-motion animation, 3 min. 43 sec. "Journey" is an allegory about one's journey through life. The protagonist, a little half-doll/half-bird character, strides through fantasy landscapes inhabited by fairy tale creatures. She sings a Russian children’s song about the importance of finding her kin. All characters and scenery created by hand. Entirely created by hand."
