Chasing Windmills is a simple yet extremely addictive videoblog out of Minneapolis, and I'm love with it.

In the same way that I (among others) object to vlogs being called "video podcasts," I also (in a pickier way) object to vlogs being thought of simply as blogs on video -- because that is a limiting thought. Video on the internet can be anything, and just because our culture is currently obessed with reality and memoir and the like, that doesn't mean we can't add some fiction as well as some slick editing and some well-acted scenes, because the end result (the "product" -- see?) is untruthful by its very nature anyway.

Crossing Windmills shows quasi-real depictions of mundane life, much like Jim Jarmusch's movie Stranger Than Paradise. We see a typical couple. They watch bad movies. They fret about their looks. They go grocery shopping. Stories are told, but not really. It's all the general mish-mosh of life.

So watch. Subscribe. Patiently await the next episode. I do.
