My First Video Blog!
Yay, my first video blog! All right, keep a few things in mind. One– this was just after work so I was tired as heck, two– my current camera really sucks, three– my laptop rather eat videos than process them, and four– this was the very first one and I had no clue what I was doing. All of that aside, I’m actually really happy with how it turned out. Much, much better than I expected.
For my first try I decided to read a recent poem of mine, most of you have heard it before, just because it seemed like a simple way to break into the vlogging world. The poem is “Twas A Poet” and if you haven’t read it before you can read it at the end of the video credits or click the link at the top of my page that goes to ‘My Writing’. The poem… is strange, written on a whim, and few will get it but me but I really don’t care. 
And that’s that. Hopefully, if I can buy enough double A batteries or keep my other ones charged up (my digital camera really is not meant for video) and things work out just right I might be able to get a video out at least once a week. While I might take videos more often I doubt I’ll put them up more often just because it’s such a pain to get them out of my camera and convert them. If anything, I might do these for the main part of the site and just talk about writing since I’m more comfortable doing that than talking about my personal life– at least for right now. Kei and I have several dance routines though… we write songs. I warn you now, sugar is involved.
Anyways, that’s the video. I’m kind of sick right now so I think I’ll reply to a few comments here and then go take a little nap. Good night everyone and happy writing!
[Edit: Uhm, yeah, because I’m sick I have these thoughts that I tell myself I’m going to remember to write down because I think they’re important (though often they not) but then I don’t remember until after I’ve posted, yay, so yeah.
I know there is a lot of 'fuzz' like noise in the background. That's all my camera, really. We turned off the television, the electric heater, and my Hubby was asleep so there absolutely nothing to do that but the cam. Also, about 'Oh, little red yellow dot...' I forgot that when I click to take a video of someone I practically blind them with this flash or red and orange... now I know why the cats run every time I have the darn thing out.]

YAY!!! that you have figured the video out. I wish I could see it. I have slow dial up…but if I am visiting where a friend has high speed I’ll swing by to check it out.
Wild wave, dear friend.
Hugs, JJ

Squee! :D I hope you get a chance to look at it, I’m still very nervous about the whole idea but I’m definitely committed to it, I’ve started saving up some spare change to get a real video camera as well so we’ll see how that all goes. :)
Much hugs and thankies again!

how cool to see/hear you “in person”. and so calm and natural. i look forward to any future video blogs. not to take the focus away from you, the blogger, for a moment, but i love how when the camera panned up to the kitty she was watching you. lord alone knows what was running through her mind… ;-)
