As promised, I made a vlog for Blog Action Day. And as usual, I’m uncomfortable with how it came out. I want to rebut myself, add points I missed, edit, change, do a sequel. Put on a costume, makeup. Tell funny stories.

Bah. This is just me, plain and simple.

It occurred to me, not for the first time, that now that I have a webcam I could start video blogging, aka vlogging. So, here I am, doing it.

Today (when I made this post; had problems so it was delayed) is Canadian Thanksgiving, and I’m looking back with gratitude at the so-called bombing of the Moon, President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize and Guy Laliberte’s Poetic Social Mission (http://broadcast.onedrop.org/). What a day that was! It changed me, and I think it changed the world.

This is my first video blog, but it won’t be my last. It’s so much easier than typing everything out one letter at a time. On the down side, I’m stuck with the words as they came out of my mouth, painful for nitpicky me. Still, the spontaneity of the thing is part of the charm. I hope.

It’s in two parts, since Youtube won’t accept videos longer than ten minutes, though in total it was under twelve. Picky, picky.

Mom, I guess you’re going to have to get high speed internet or watch at the library. Sorry.
