00:00:01

this video i'm going to be living in

00:00:03

1952 for a week that's right we're

00:00:05

giving time travel a try basically this

00:00:07

means i can't use my phone i can't use

00:00:09

my computer i can't use anything that

00:00:11

would be considered modern obviously

00:00:13

i'll only be taking that so far because

00:00:14

if i was living in 1952 i would have an

00:00:17

oven i wouldn't have the same oven that

00:00:19

i actually have in my house but i would

00:00:21

have a oven so i'm allowed to use the

00:00:22

oven this also means that i can't read

00:00:24

books or listen to music that came out

00:00:26

after 1952. obviously one place where i

00:00:28

will be breaking the rule is that i'll

00:00:30

be using the camera so that i can film

00:00:32

this because otherwise it wouldn't be a

00:00:34

youtube video i will technically be

00:00:35

starting this tomorrow because i have

00:00:37

some preparation to do one of the things

00:00:38

on my list of to do's is to figure out

00:00:40

some sort of vintage radio program i

00:00:43

have a vintage radio over there but i

00:00:45

can't just like turn it on and have it

00:00:48

play modern music i want to be able to

00:00:50

listen to the radio though but it can

00:00:51

only be vintage stuff i'd like to avoid

00:00:53

needing to use a spotify playlist partly

00:00:55

because then i'd actually have to like

00:00:57

turn on my phone or computer and go onto

00:00:58

spotify which would kind of be cheating

00:01:00

but also because if i was living in 1952

00:01:03

and i turned on the radio i wouldn't be

00:01:04

able to decide what songs come on even

00:01:06

if i put a playlist on shuffle i would

00:01:08

still be the one who created the

00:01:10

playlist you know there's a satellite

00:01:12

radio channel called 40s junction that

00:01:14

only plays 40s music and i would

00:01:16

normally have to pay a subscription

00:01:17

except for they have like a four month

00:01:19

free trial thing so i think i might try

00:01:21

that a few other places where this is

00:01:23

going to be affecting my lifestyle one

00:01:25

laundry i'm gonna try and do my own

00:01:27

laundry in a relatively historically

00:01:29

accurate to the 1950s kind of way by the

00:01:31

early 50s there were a fair amount of

00:01:33

middle-class people who had a washing

00:01:35

machine but it was fairly likely that

00:01:36

you would have a washing machine and not

00:01:38

a dryer so i'm going to be using my

00:01:39

washing machine but then air drying my

00:01:41

clothing on a clothes line in the

00:01:43

backyard

00:01:45

excuse my phone that by the way is one

00:01:48

thing that i can use because that is

00:01:49

like an actual vintage phone i'm going

00:01:51

to be doing this for a five day week

00:01:53

instead of seven because i think that my

00:01:55

dad would probably be very upset with me

00:01:57

if i held off on watching the 70s show

00:02:00

with him for more than five days largely

00:02:02

because i'd like to have a decent amount

00:02:03

of time left to edit this throughout

00:02:05

this week if i have any kinds of

00:02:07

questions like if i can do something or

00:02:09

if a book for example was published

00:02:10

before 1952 i need to ask somebody else

00:02:13

to look it up for me so i'm gonna go

00:02:15

start doing some preparation i'm gonna

00:02:16

go on my computer and see if i can get

00:02:18

that 1940s radio channels working on my

00:02:20

radio and i'm also going to write down

00:02:22

all of my contacts phone numbers since i

00:02:24

won't be able to just look them up in my

00:02:26

contacts inconveniently the website of

00:02:28

the satellite radio channel that i

00:02:29

talked about was crash so i couldn't

00:02:31

sign up for the free trial but i found a

00:02:32

different free one and i will link it in

00:02:34

the description because it was

00:02:35

incredibly enjoyable for the whole week

00:02:38

then i wrote down my contacts and let my

00:02:40

friends and family know that i'd be

00:02:41

offline for the week

00:02:44

without further ado let's time travel

00:02:47

[Music]

00:03:14

[Applause]

00:03:20

hello i've woken up it is day one of

00:03:22

time traveling september 8 1952. last

00:03:25

night i was trying to think like i need

00:03:27

some sort of alarm clock to wake me up

00:03:29

and i obviously can't use my phone and i

00:03:30

have two alarm clocks however there was

00:03:32

a problem this alarm clock i can

00:03:34

actually change the time and make it be

00:03:36

correct but the alarm doesn't work this

00:03:38

one

00:03:39

the alarm works but i can't change the

00:03:41

time for some reason so i set them both

00:03:44

this one i set so that it would actually

00:03:45

tell me the time this one i figured out

00:03:47

how many hours from the time it was

00:03:49

already set to i would need it to wake

00:03:50

me up and set the alarm accordingly also

00:03:53

this one makes a cute ticking sound so

00:03:55

that's fun first thing when i woke up i

00:03:57

wanted to go and check my phone um so

00:03:59

it's really weird that i couldn't do

00:04:01

that that's just kind of normally the

00:04:02

thing i do first thing in the morning so

00:04:05

i am going to make my bed and do my hair

00:04:08

and all that jazz

00:04:14

[Music]

00:04:27

i cannot quite brush my hair out yet

00:04:29

because this foam roller right here i

00:04:31

realized that that curl was not quite

00:04:33

dried properly so i had to stick it back

00:04:35

in i'll let it dry a little bit take it

00:04:37

out and then we can do the brush out i

00:04:38

might

00:04:39

use a blow dryer lately i've been

00:04:41

setting my hair with sugar water instead

00:04:43

of regular water because i heard that

00:04:44

ladies in the 40s would frequently use

00:04:47

sugar water as hairspray because it was

00:04:49

more accessible than actual hairspray

00:04:51

and it turns out that if i set my hair

00:04:53

with sugar water it stays just like ages

00:04:55

but it's still all nice and soft at the

00:04:57

ends it gets a little bit like hairspray

00:04:59

feeling up top here but down below the

00:05:02

curls are all like nice and soft this

00:05:04

does however mean that my foam rollers

00:05:06

and all of their pieces get sugar water

00:05:08

on them and they get all a little bit

00:05:09

tacky so after every one or two uses i

00:05:11

need to wash them so i think i'll

00:05:12

probably do that today but while this

00:05:14

curl is drying i am going to go and pick

00:05:16

out an outfit

00:05:18

[Music]

00:05:30

while my hair is cooling i have it

00:05:31

scrunched up into this little cap while

00:05:33

i'm waiting on this i'm gonna go and get

00:05:34

some breakfast started so at first i was

00:05:37

gonna make something for breakfast but

00:05:38

then i remember that i had pumpkin pie

00:05:40

in the fridge and so i just had that

00:05:41

instead and let me tell you it was

00:05:43

scrumptious

00:05:44

[Music]

00:05:45

all right it's time to try brushing out

00:05:47

my curls

00:05:53

[Music]

00:06:01

once my hair and makeup was done i

00:06:03

washed my foam rollers to get the sugar

00:06:05

stickiness off

00:06:06

[Music]

00:06:18

now that i can't just go onto youtube or

00:06:20

go scrolling through instagram i will

00:06:22

finally do some of those little things

00:06:23

that it would normally take me forever

00:06:24

to get around to one being dyeing this

00:06:27

sweater i recently got the sweater from

00:06:28

a secondhand boutique and it is

00:06:30

polyester so i don't know how well it's

00:06:32

going to die especially because i'm

00:06:33

using natural dyes i'm going to try

00:06:36

using avocado pits to dye this more pink

00:06:39

because it's not quite as pink as i want

00:06:40

it to be of course i only have one

00:06:42

avocado pit at the moment so that's

00:06:43

boiling on the stove right now but i

00:06:45

will also add some cranberry juice into

00:06:47

that to intensify the pinkness which i

00:06:49

already have in the fridge so there's a

00:06:50

very good chance this won't take being

00:06:52

that it's a synthetic material but it's

00:06:53

not like i'm wasting an avocado pit it

00:06:55

would be thrown away anyways so

00:06:57

let's give it a try okay so this has

00:06:59

been boiling for a bit and i'm not

00:07:01

seeing any pinkness

00:07:03

in the liquid so

00:07:05

we may just be seeing what we can do

00:07:07

with cranberry juice

00:07:09

i guess we'll see

00:07:10

[Music]

00:07:15

while my sweater is sitting in the

00:07:16

cranberry juice i am going to go and

00:07:18

walk to my mom's shop she has a

00:07:20

sustainable cleaning product shop and

00:07:22

it's very close so i am going to take my

00:07:24

dog for a little walk there

00:07:29

[Music]

00:07:36

i am back from my mom's shop and i

00:07:38

didn't film much because i wasn't there

00:07:39

for very long now that i'm home i'm

00:07:41

going to take my sweater out of the

00:07:42

cranberry juice and just pray

00:07:45

that anything happened

00:07:47

[Music]

00:07:59

it doesn't really look like anything

00:08:00

happened to the sweater but oh well

00:08:02

while the light is still nice outside

00:08:04

i'm going to go and do a little tending

00:08:05

to my garden it needs some watering and

00:08:07

possibly a little weeding then i'm going

00:08:09

to come inside and do a little bit of

00:08:10

sewing i have a big stack of clothes

00:08:12

behind my bed that only different like

00:08:14

alterations and fixes so that's the plan

00:08:20

we have something quite fun happening in

00:08:21

my garden i planted this oregano maybe

00:08:23

like a week ago and it's spreading

00:08:26

like crazy look at all these tiny little

00:08:28

baby oreganos

00:08:31

[Music]

00:08:37

one of the pieces of clothing behind my

00:08:38

bed was a jacket that had elbow patches

00:08:40

that didn't actually line up with my

00:08:42

elbows so i spent a little bit cutting

00:08:44

them off and sewing them back on in the

00:08:45

right place

00:08:50

[Music]

00:08:59

i finished fixing the elbow patches on

00:09:01

that jacket and now i'm going to put on

00:09:03

some pants and go for a little bike ride

00:09:05

to a local farmer's market and see if i

00:09:07

can find any pumpkins because it is now

00:09:10

september and i need something

00:09:13

in the spooky realm to fill the spooky

00:09:15

void in my soul and of course because

00:09:16

i'm me i will probably paint them pink

00:09:18

and or blue if i can find any

00:09:21

[Music]

00:09:23

the farmers market did have some

00:09:24

pumpkins but none were small enough for

00:09:26

me to carry home in my bike basket so i

00:09:28

didn't get any but i did get a cup of

00:09:29

corn to have for dinner

00:09:31

[Music]

00:09:35

when i got home i started making dinner

00:09:36

for myself i fried up some bits of

00:09:38

sausage with some rice as well as

00:09:39

boiling the corn

00:09:41

[Music]

00:09:43

then my mom and i decided that we wanted

00:09:45

to make some cookies but the recipe

00:09:46

called for some applesauce which we

00:09:48

didn't have so we decided to make some

00:09:49

applesauce using some not so good apples

00:09:51

we had in the fridge

00:09:53

okay so it is about 11 o'clock now and i

00:09:56

made myself some dinner and then me and

00:09:58

my mom started making some applesauce

00:10:00

and we used some of the applesauce to

00:10:01

make some cookies and then i started

00:10:04

cleaning the kitchen with her

00:10:05

and i wiped down all the counters and

00:10:07

the cupboards and everything so started

00:10:10

getting into a bit of a cleaning mode

00:10:12

does that ever happen to any of you

00:10:13

where like

00:10:14

you

00:10:15

notice something grimy and then suddenly

00:10:18

you just like

00:10:19

suddenly your vision sees everything

00:10:21

that is gross and you just have to fix

00:10:23

all of the dirty and clean everything i

00:10:25

was having a bit of that so there was a

00:10:27

lot of kitchen cleaning earlier my hair

00:10:29

today did not turn out quite as well as

00:10:31

it has in the past few days because the

00:10:33

foam rollers were a little bit damp for

00:10:34

me cleaning them so they were just a

00:10:36

little bit too wet to be as dry as they

00:10:38

needed to be by the time i woke up and

00:10:40

took them out so i think that these will

00:10:41

be able to last until tomorrow but the

00:10:43

day after i will need to reset them so

00:10:45

i'm going to start getting ready for bed

00:10:47

i'm going to put my pajamas on and all

00:10:48

that stuff and then i think i'm going to

00:10:50

start reading the wizard of oz because i

00:10:52

have loved the 1939 wizard of oz movie

00:10:55

since i was a very small child and yet i

00:10:57

have never read the book so i think that

00:10:58

that needs to change a little bit of a

00:11:00

reflection so far on day one i was very

00:11:03

very productive today not being able to

00:11:06

just like go and mindlessly scroll

00:11:07

through instagram has saved me so much

00:11:10

time i've done so much stuff today i did

00:11:12

some dusting in my room i vacuumed i

00:11:15

attempted to dye my sweater it didn't

00:11:17

work but you know i finally gave it a

00:11:18

try at least fixed the elbow patches on

00:11:20

my jacket went for a bike ride to the

00:11:22

farmer's market then i came home and

00:11:24

made some applesauce and i made some

00:11:25

cookies and i made some dinner for

00:11:27

myself i also attended to my garden so

00:11:29

yeah a very successful day one i feel

00:11:31

very refreshed so yeah it's been a very

00:11:34

successful day one of this time

00:11:35

traveling adventure and i will see you

00:11:37

tomorrow on september 9 1952

00:11:43

[Music]

00:11:58

yes

00:12:05

[Music]

00:12:17

it is now day two of this time travel

00:12:19

mission and today i think i'd like to

00:12:21

try and get my room really clean some

00:12:23

tidying up but also some dusting and

00:12:26

some scrubbing possibly some window

00:12:28

washing and i think

00:12:30

i might consider recovering my cushion

00:12:33

so yeah i'm gonna turn the radio back on

00:12:34

and get some cleaning going

00:12:38

[Applause]

00:12:39

[Music]

00:12:43

[Applause]

00:12:55

[Music]

00:12:59

oh

00:13:22

um

00:13:29

[Applause]

00:13:36

[Music]

00:13:52

it's now maybe four o'clock and i have

00:13:54

cleaned my room very thoroughly and it

00:13:56

feels so satisfying there are still a

00:13:58

few things that need to be done in this

00:14:00

room for one thing most of my furniture

00:14:02

does need repainting but that's a

00:14:04

project for another time the other thing

00:14:05

is my windows they may look relatively

00:14:07

clean on camera but the outside of the

00:14:09

windows is quite disgusting my room is

00:14:12

on the upstairs floor of this house and

00:14:13

so if i want to access the outside of

00:14:15

the windows then i need to get a ladder

00:14:17

and i've been procrastinating this for a

00:14:19

very long time so maybe today is the day

00:14:22

i've had some lunch and i think i'm

00:14:23

gonna go and get the ladder and see if

00:14:26

it allows me to reach the outside of my

00:14:27

window and another thing that i also

00:14:29

would like to do is clean while i have

00:14:32

like this little mat here that i would

00:14:33

like to clean but most importantly my

00:14:35

cap that i put over top of my foam

00:14:37

rollers when i'm curling my hair it has

00:14:39

a slightly sticky sugary residue on it

00:14:42

from the sugar water so i think it does

00:14:44

definitely need a clean so before i go

00:14:46

outside to start cleaning the windows

00:14:47

i'm going to put this into some sort of

00:14:49

dish with soap and water to let it sit

00:14:51

for a while

00:14:53

[Music]

00:15:05

[Applause]

00:15:06

[Music]

00:15:08

i finished cleaning my window and it has

00:15:10

never been cleaner i also took my head

00:15:12

cap and my mat out of that bowl that had

00:15:14

the soap and water rinsed them out and

00:15:16

put them on the clothes line now a

00:15:18

couple more things to do i have plenty

00:15:21

of throw pillows on my bed but i'm not

00:15:23

exactly pleased with the fabric that is

00:15:24

covering all of them my color theme is

00:15:26

pink and blue but this is

00:15:28

a little bit too intense for my liking

00:15:30

in this particular room and this is not

00:15:32

exactly the shade of blue that i'd like

00:15:34

so i'm gonna go and take a look at my

00:15:36

fabric stash and see what i have to

00:15:37

recover these cushions

00:15:43

[Music]

00:16:02

it is now around 8 30 ish and i have

00:16:04

recovered three of the pillows i have a

00:16:07

light pink one a light blue one and this

00:16:09

beautiful rosy one i absolutely love

00:16:11

this fabric i am going to have a shower

00:16:13

to get the sugar water and the set of my

00:16:15

hair so that i can reset it last night i

00:16:17

read around the first third of the

00:16:19

wizard of oz and i am very much enjoying

00:16:21

it after my shower i think i'm going to

00:16:23

continue reading the wizard of oz and

00:16:24

let my hair naturally dry a little bit

00:16:27

and then i'll finish drying it with a

00:16:28

blow

00:16:30

[Music]

00:16:35

was dryer like it before and i don't

00:16:38

care there will be anymore

00:16:43

[Music]

00:16:49

all right it is very very late but i

00:16:51

finished reading the wizard of oz while

00:16:52

i was setting my hair and i very much

00:16:54

enjoyed it and i'm definitely going to

00:16:56

start reading the sequel tomorrow so i

00:16:59

guess a bit of a recap of the day i very

00:17:01

thoroughly cleaned my room went through

00:17:03

the drawers in my desk got rid of all of

00:17:05

those clothes that needed like mending

00:17:07

and washing and stuff from behind my bed

00:17:10

they're no longer chilling back there

00:17:12

which is good also cleaned my window and

00:17:14

watered my garden the cleaning took most

00:17:16

of my day but i consider that to be an

00:17:18

incredibly productive day because my

00:17:19

room is so incredibly clean right now

00:17:21

it's so satisfying so yeah tomorrow is

00:17:23

day three and we'll start doing the

00:17:24

laundry the 1950s way i have one piece

00:17:27

of clothing that was behind my bed that

00:17:29

still needs mending specifically it's a

00:17:31

blue dress sitting on my desk right now

00:17:33

and i will mend that tomorrow today was

00:17:35

another very successful day of our time

00:17:36

traveling mission and i will see you

00:17:38

tomorrow on day three september 10th

00:17:40

1952

00:17:42

[Music]

00:17:47

it is day three and i have been greatly

00:17:50

procrastinating properly starting my day

00:17:52

um because i started my period today and

00:17:55

i do not feel particularly good but

00:17:57

i have been procrastinating by starting

00:18:00

to read the sequel of the wizard of oz

00:18:01

and it is incredibly weird and i am

00:18:03

sincerely enjoying it but it is already

00:18:05

the afternoon

00:18:07

and i still haven't even like gotten

00:18:09

dressed and done my hair so i'm gonna do

00:18:10

that and the laundry still needs to be

00:18:12

done so i'm going to make my bed and

00:18:13

start getting ready

00:18:17

[Music]

00:18:20

[Applause]

00:18:22

[Music]

00:18:28

[Music]

00:18:37

so i don't actually have that much

00:18:38

laundry i just have this basket here um

00:18:41

and it includes some laundry that is not

00:18:43

mine because i needed to pat it up a

00:18:44

little so i'm not exactly doing this out

00:18:46

of necessity i'm doing it because i want

00:18:48

to have the experience of doing laundry

00:18:50

the way it would have been done in the

00:18:52

50s because i do have a relatively small

00:18:54

amount i think i'm just going gonna wash

00:18:55

it all by hand it feels like a bit of a

00:18:57

waste to just put this small amount of

00:18:59

laundry in the washing machine by the

00:19:01

50s a lot of people would have a washing

00:19:03

machine they wouldn't be like the

00:19:04

washing machines we have today they're

00:19:06

much more simplistic but a lot of people

00:19:08

would not have a washer and dryer so

00:19:10

plenty of people would wash their

00:19:12

clothes in the washing machine and then

00:19:13

air dry it so i'm going to divide this

00:19:15

basket of clothes between darks and

00:19:17

lights and then wash them in a tub and

00:19:19

then rinse them twice then wring them

00:19:21

out really well and hang them on the

00:19:23

line

00:19:24

[Music]

00:19:31

[Music]

00:19:41

once i had the laundry hanging to dry i

00:19:43

read the sequel to the wizard of oz for

00:19:45

a little while then i started mending

00:19:47

that blue dress that was sitting on my

00:19:48

desk

00:19:52

i originally made this dress to wear to

00:19:54

a winter formal that was happening at my

00:19:55

high school but then because of the

00:19:57

plague it was cancelled so i never

00:19:59

finished doing the last alteration

00:20:02

by that time the laundry was dry and i

00:20:04

took it down to fold the clothes that

00:20:05

didn't need ironing

00:20:11

it's starting to get quite dim out but

00:20:13

there is still some light so i'd like to

00:20:14

go and get some apples from my apple

00:20:16

tree in the backyard and perhaps make an

00:20:18

apple pie

00:20:21

[Applause] [Music]

00:20:39

it's now about 10 45 and i finished

00:20:41

making the apple pie the crust is not

00:20:43

particularly delicious because i had to

00:20:45

make my own rice flour because i didn't

00:20:47

have enough of store-bought stuff and it

00:20:49

tastes like i ground up rice and turn it

00:20:52

into a crust it's not great but the

00:20:53

filling of the pie is

00:20:55

so i shall still eat it anyways i'm

00:20:57

going to put some pajamas on and wrap up

00:20:59

my curls then i think i'm going to write

00:21:01

a to-do list for tomorrow and then i

00:21:04

will read a little bit of the sequel to

00:21:06

the wizard of oz before i go to bed and

00:21:08

that will conclude day three of this

00:21:09

time travel mission and i can't believe

00:21:11

we're already more than halfway through

00:21:12

i think it's been another very

00:21:14

successful and productive day and i'm

00:21:16

excited for day four

00:21:18

[Music]

00:21:40

all right it is september 11th 1952 and

00:21:43

today i'd like to do a little more work

00:21:45

on my bedroom you see those two picture

00:21:48

frames up there i would like to paint

00:21:50

them both white so that they match my

00:21:52

furniture and the trim the black one

00:21:54

right there

00:21:55

is made of metal so i don't know how

00:21:57

well the paint is going to stick to it

00:21:58

but i'm going to try my best

00:22:03

[Music]

00:22:13

okay i went to the thrift store a minute

00:22:15

ago and i didn't get anything but it's

00:22:17

raining outside and i couldn't find my

00:22:18

umbrella so my hair is ruined oh well

00:22:21

now i would like to do another painting

00:22:22

related thing this cabinet here this

00:22:25

lining

00:22:26

that is like behind the windows i put

00:22:28

that in a long long time ago when i had

00:22:31

some of this wallpaper on my accent wall

00:22:34

um but i don't anymore so it doesn't

00:22:36

actually like tie the room together so i

00:22:38

would like to paint some brown paper

00:22:40

using the same colors that i used on my

00:22:43

wall

00:22:44

to line those

00:22:45

so that's what i'm gonna do

00:22:48

[Music]

00:23:05

while we

00:23:13

it's now gotten dark out it's about 8 30

00:23:15

and i would like to get out my ironing

00:23:17

board and iron these two garments from

00:23:19

yesterday most of the clothes didn't

00:23:21

actually need ironing they were already

00:23:22

fine but these two are a little bit

00:23:24

wrinkly then once i've done that i'm

00:23:25

going to start reading the third wizard

00:23:27

of oz book osma of oz and then i will

00:23:30

start setting my hair whilst i read this

00:23:32

can we just talk for a second about

00:23:34

how beautiful

00:23:36

this artwork is this is such a gorgeous

00:23:38

book my dad has i believe all of the

00:23:40

wizard of oz books and most of them

00:23:42

belonged to i think my great great aunt

00:23:46

then after that they were given to my

00:23:47

grandma and my grandma as a child

00:23:50

colored in all the pictures then they

00:23:52

were given to my dad and now i get to

00:23:54

read them this particular book and i

00:23:55

believe most of them were printed

00:23:57

sometime in the 1910s anyways enough

00:24:00

ranting about these beautiful books but

00:24:01

i am very excited to continue reading

00:24:03

them now let's iron some clothes very

00:24:05

quickly

00:24:10

and he calls me baby

00:24:16

[Music]

00:24:22

all right i'm just about to go to bed

00:24:24

and tomorrow is the last day that is

00:24:26

very weird it feels like it's been a lot

00:24:28

longer than that but at the same time

00:24:30

i can't believe it's already been four

00:24:32

days it has once again been a relatively

00:24:34

productive day maybe not quite as much

00:24:36

as the previous days but i'm very happy

00:24:37

with the small alterations to my room

00:24:40

there you can kind of see the lining in

00:24:42

my corner cabinet i think it really ties

00:24:45

everything together with my accent wall

00:24:46

and stuff so yeah i will see you

00:24:48

tomorrow on september 12 1952 the final

00:24:51

day

00:24:53

[Music]

00:25:04

[Applause]

00:25:12

[Music]

00:25:26

it is the final day of living in 1952. i

00:25:29

must say i am very eager to see my

00:25:31

notifications on my phone and computer

00:25:34

because if i was living in 1952

00:25:37

more people would be like

00:25:40

you know dropping by or sending me

00:25:42

letters or calling me on the phone

00:25:44

people don't really do that these days

00:25:46

so i've not had much contact with people

00:25:49

i know outside of this household so as

00:25:51

far as what i want to do today i'm

00:25:53

considering going to the thrift store

00:25:55

i'm not totally sure something that does

00:25:57

need doing but i really don't want to do

00:25:59

because it's a lot of work is scrubbing

00:26:01

my bike my bike is actually from the

00:26:04

1940s and something has happened to the

00:26:06

paint it's black um so that it kind of

00:26:09

like

00:26:10

comes off in like this black grime onto

00:26:13

your clothes if you touch it so every

00:26:15

time i want to ride my bike um if i'm

00:26:17

wearing a skirt it has to be my painting

00:26:19

skirt so that when it like gets all over

00:26:21

the bike it will get grimy and i won't

00:26:23

care as much otherwise i wear my pants

00:26:26

of which i only have one pair and i

00:26:27

would really like to not need to worry

00:26:30

about that and just wear whatever i

00:26:31

wanted while i rode my bike but

00:26:33

it's so much work to scrub this bike

00:26:35

down i'd have to take like a bristled

00:26:37

brush and give it a really good

00:26:39

scrubbing and it seems like a lot of

00:26:41

work but i might just need to do that

00:26:43

today so far i have been

00:26:46

largely just sitting and listening to

00:26:47

the radio quite honestly because vintage

00:26:49

music is just such a wonderful thing

00:26:52

another thing that needs doing is the

00:26:54

bathroom floor at least needs a sweep

00:26:56

ideally an actual washing so i think

00:26:59

right now i'm gonna go and sweep it

00:27:00

because that'll only take a second and

00:27:02

then i guess we'll see so i scrubbed the

00:27:04

bathroom floor and then because i

00:27:06

already had like the scrub brush and

00:27:07

everything out i thought why don't i

00:27:08

scrub the kitchen floor and so i did

00:27:10

and now i am most definitely not going

00:27:12

to scrub my bike because holy

00:27:15

all of that scrubbing was very tiring

00:27:17

then i was going to go to the thrift

00:27:18

store but then it occurred to me that

00:27:20

it's sunday so the thrift stores are

00:27:21

closed so i think that i'm going to just

00:27:24

sit back and read my wizard of oz book

00:27:25

because i'm almost done i read way too

00:27:28

much of it last night and stayed up

00:27:29

really late but it's very good so i

00:27:31

would like to finish it

00:27:35

well i have finished reading osmo of oz

00:27:38

if you have not read any of the wizard

00:27:39

of oz books which many people have not i

00:27:41

highly recommend that you do

00:27:42

interestingly enough much of the writing

00:27:44

is not like that good like there's a few

00:27:47

actual like places where it's like man

00:27:49

you kind of chose the wrong grammatical

00:27:51

word there for the sentence to properly

00:27:53

make sense like there's some mistakes

00:27:54

but the story and the concept is so good

00:27:57

and whimsical that i just you need to

00:28:00

read them they're amazing now i would

00:28:01

like to go to the grocery store to buy

00:28:03

some candy because

00:28:05

there's no candy in the house and i want

00:28:07

some candy it's quite simple also

00:28:08

there's an adorable vintage candy dish

00:28:10

on my desk and i think it deserves to be

00:28:12

filled with candy i'm gonna see if i can

00:28:13

try and find some pink and blue candy to

00:28:15

match my bedroom just for the heck of it

00:28:17

so yeah i will see you with some candy

00:28:20

apparently it's incredibly difficult to

00:28:22

find pink and blue candies so wine gums

00:28:25

will have to do they're delicious

00:28:26

anyways i also went for a little walk

00:28:28

and picked these beautiful purple

00:28:29

flowers

00:28:30

i think i'm going to trim the stems and

00:28:31

then put them on my bedside table oh

00:28:33

these big ones smell amazing it's been a

00:28:35

relatively chill day which i'm very

00:28:37

happy with so

00:28:39

i think that now i will just

00:28:41

probably feed the dog and then sit and

00:28:44

listen to the radio for a while

00:28:46

[Music]

00:28:54

it's now around 8 o'clock and i decided

00:28:56

to go to my dad's office um it's one of

00:28:59

his employees birthdays tomorrow so we

00:29:00

decided to decorate the office so that's

00:29:02

how i've spent like around the last hour

00:29:04

and a balloon blew up in my face and my

00:29:07

right ear went fuzzy for a bit it's

00:29:09

still not entirely back to normal but

00:29:11

yeah that was fun and i think i will

00:29:13

probably start reading the fourth wizard

00:29:16

of oz book i can't believe how many oz

00:29:17

books i've managed to read in the past

00:29:19

five days i am also a little bit hungry

00:29:21

so i think that i'll make myself some

00:29:22

porridge and then i'll sit down and read

00:29:32

[Music]

00:29:42

i just finished getting ready for bed

00:29:43

and i also just finished reading the

00:29:45

fourth oz book it was very enjoyable

00:29:47

there were one or two parts where i

00:29:48

noticed a bit of inconsistency with the

00:29:50

previous books but it was still very fun

00:29:52

to read and that brings us to the end of

00:29:53

the last day tomorrow i will check my

00:29:55

notifications and re-enter the modern

00:29:57

world and once i've done that i'll talk

00:29:59

about how i felt about the experience

00:30:01

this week and just how it went overall

00:30:02

but right now i am still in 1952 and i'm

00:30:05

gonna go to bed and i will see you

00:30:06

tomorrow in the modern world

00:30:10

all right i've reentered the modern

00:30:12

world i have checked my notifications

00:30:14

and my emails and everything and let's

00:30:16

talk about this experience this week it

00:30:17

was very interesting so first thing

00:30:20

this was not as hard as i expected it to

00:30:22

be quite honestly because

00:30:24

i thought i would have a greater desire

00:30:26

to use my phone and my computer and

00:30:28

stuff and there were a couple moments

00:30:29

where i was like oh i really wish i

00:30:30

could look this up or something like

00:30:32

that but

00:30:33

it was not that difficult and i actually

00:30:35

really enjoyed myself most the time

00:30:36

there were plenty of moments where i was

00:30:38

like sitting in my room listening to the

00:30:40

radio and i felt like i actually was

00:30:43

time traveling because it felt so real

00:30:46

if you'd like me to try this again with

00:30:47

some other year please let me know in

00:30:48

the comments because i definitely

00:30:49

consider doing this again this morning

00:30:51

when i woke up i did go to my phone to

00:30:53

see what notifications i had but i

00:30:55

didn't spend that long on there and then

00:30:58

i actually very quickly found myself

00:30:59

thinking

00:31:00

that i missed listening to the radio and

00:31:02

so i turned my vintage radio back on and

00:31:06

i think this was a really good

00:31:07

experience for me because i feel i feel

00:31:09

like i found more things that i enjoy i

00:31:11

didn't generally listen to music much

00:31:14

before this i did occasionally but i

00:31:16

think that having this vintage radio

00:31:17

program on

00:31:18

is really great to just be able to turn

00:31:20

it on anytime and not know what song is

00:31:22

going to come on it's actually quite

00:31:23

exciting it's also a great way for me to

00:31:25

discover new songs i have written down a

00:31:27

list of songs that i heard over this

00:31:29

past week that i'd like to try and find

00:31:31

again i also found that this week i was

00:31:33

far more productive than i normally am

00:31:35

not being able to go onto my phone or

00:31:36

computer or watch shows or anything

00:31:39

i found time to do the things that i

00:31:41

have just been procrastinating for a

00:31:42

long time and giving my room a really

00:31:44

thorough clean i probably wouldn't have

00:31:46

done that this week if i still had my

00:31:48

phone and computer my room is cleaner

00:31:50

and also the house outside of my bedroom

00:31:52

is cleaner because i found times to do

00:31:55

some of the cleaning things that i've

00:31:56

been meaning to do for a little while

00:31:58

and that have been needing to get done

00:31:59

around the house i also feel more

00:32:01

inspired to read because i have read

00:32:03

four books in the last five days which

00:32:06

blows my mind because i am normally not

00:32:08

that much of a reader if i am really

00:32:10

interested in a book i can read it very

00:32:12

very quickly but

00:32:14

normally i'm like a rereader i've read

00:32:16

lord of the rings and harry potter many

00:32:17

many times but i don't read tons of a

00:32:19

big variety of books but i read four

00:32:22

books that i've never read before this

00:32:23

week and i want to continue reading them

00:32:25

i think that i will continue to carry

00:32:27

some of this into my regular life

00:32:29

because having less time on my phone and

00:32:31

just sitting and appreciating doing

00:32:33

nothing or just sitting and listening to

00:32:35

the radio i you forget sometimes

00:32:38

how fun that can be it's so simple and

00:32:42

it's so enjoyable of course as far as

00:32:44

the way i dress and stuff this made

00:32:45

basically no difference for me i already

00:32:47

wear 1940s 1950s fashion almost every

00:32:50

day when i'm not wearing that i'm

00:32:52

wearing sort of like an elvish lord of

00:32:53

the rings inspired thing but most days

00:32:55

this is already what i wear something

00:32:57

that was a little bit annoying about

00:32:58

this that wouldn't have actually been a

00:33:00

problem if i was living in 1952 is that

00:33:03

people didn't really contact me because

00:33:06

they normally expect to be able to email

00:33:08

me or send me a dm or something like

00:33:10

that but if i was living in 1952 people

00:33:12

would have thought to actually call me

00:33:13

or send me a letter or something like

00:33:15

that and i do kind of wish that i had

00:33:17

that

00:33:18

more human contact from the outside

00:33:20

world i suppose if i had to do my

00:33:22

laundry the way that i did this week

00:33:23

forever it would probably get annoying

00:33:25

pretty quickly so that i suppose is the

00:33:27

end of my little time travel adventure i

00:33:29

had a lot of fun every era has its flaws

00:33:31

but they also all have their good points

00:33:33

obviously if i didn't have the internet

00:33:34

i wouldn't be able to share this

00:33:35

experience with all of you in this video

00:33:37

wouldn't exist so i'm very glad to live

00:33:39

in the year that i do but it's still

00:33:40

really fun to do this little experiment

00:33:42

and try seeing what positives come from

00:33:44

different eras future miranda popping in

00:33:46

here real quick i just wanted to say

00:33:48

that i'm not trying to pretend that

00:33:49

there aren't terrible parts and terrible

00:33:51

events in every point in history but i

00:33:54

think we often focus so much on those

00:33:56

negative parts i just want to bring

00:33:57

attention to the fact that there is

00:33:59

beautiful things to be found in every

00:34:00

part of history as well and we sometimes

00:34:02

need to be reminded of those for example

00:34:04

the simple joy of just sitting down and

00:34:06

listening to the radio so yeah that's

00:34:08

all i wanted to say back to past miranda

00:34:10

that would be it for today i hope you

00:34:11

enjoyed this video please comment rate

00:34:13

subscribe and all that jazz and i'll see

00:34:15

you guys next time bye

00:34:18

but

00:34:20

another thing that was very very small

00:34:22

that made a difference for me is this

00:34:24

this lovely cloth it makes a little

00:34:26

ticking sound and i really really like

00:34:28

the sound of the ticking and it also

00:34:29

turns out that it's very useful when i'm

00:34:31

trying to sleep and people outside of my

00:34:33

room are being loud or watching a show

00:34:35

this kind of helps to drown it out a

00:34:36

little bit and it's not nearly as

00:34:37

annoying as i expected it to be

00:34:40
