Normally as the winter gets colder, we cheer ourselves up by lighting a warm fire in the fireplace, or at least watching one on TV. But this year? 2020? Hah. For this year, we have a one-hour video of a dumpster fire… literally.
Watch for: at 2:40 the 2020 planner going in; 9:00 hand sanitizer; 12:00 stockings hung; 15:00 toilet paper; 21:00 Zoom meeting request; 23:15 a tie; 25:00 a bra; 29:00 face masks; 35:15 wiping the poker down with a cleaning wipe; 36:45 the wipes go in; 38:30 an OPEN/CLOSED sign; 41:00 stale rolls; 45:20 a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle; 51:30 printed-out emails and a travel bag.
Includes traditional holiday music like Jingle Bells and Silent Night.
Further notes from This is True: “…a 2020 appointment book, hand sanitizer, face masks. “The sourdough starter was hilarious to me,” said managing partner Karissa Anderson, “because I couldn’t get mine started for the life of me.” Airline tickets and a suitcase represented cancelled plans; a jigsaw puzzle stood in for boredom. The hard part, Anderson says, was getting a fire to burn in a dumpster for a full hour: her dad had to weld up a custom dumpster with a grate as the bottom so it could pull up air to feed the flames.”
