VLOG!

First Thoughts: This is a lot harder than it looks, okay??

Here it is! The first awesome vlog!

Now, unfortunately, this one doesn't have any cosplay, but fear not! I'm hoping to get my cosplaying vlogs up and running, very shortly.

This production is dedicated and directed towards my friends and family. Thanks for supporting me, everyone!



Also, I'm aware my audio needs work, as does my editing. (I'm still learning, all of you YouTube high definition, snobs!) Also, I look like death because it was two in the morning when I filmed this, so shuddup.

Next time, I'll record everything on my camera, instead of my webcam. Yes.

O, Canada!

                                     (... or the great Winnipeg internet fiasco.)


First Thoughts: What the cuss? Canada looks the same everywhere you go ...





Okay, in all seriousness, Canada really does look the same, no matter where you go. Vancouver. London. Quebec. Aside from their downtown areas, you can't distinguish the "countryside", at all.

Yesterday was my first time visiting Winnipeg.

Needless to say, I'm dreading ever going back.

The internet was awful. My tub didn't have a plug, (so I had to use a towel), and the elevators wouldn't move unless you swiped your key -- which were beyond tempermental.  

FRUSTRATION! HATRED! UN-AWESOMENESS!!

The only redeeming factors were the hotel's free hors'devours and the Tempurpedic bed they upgraded me to. ... everything else can go to Hell.

Heute werde ich versuchen, éinen Blog zu starten!

First thoughts: Creating a blog is a pain in the ass.


Alright, well, to start things off I think I´ll try to be somewhat educational and review a book (that I´ve never read). The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha. Fitting, ja?





The Book of Awesome presents hundreds of life´s simple pleasures, including wearing underwear just out of the dryer, sleeping in new bed sheets, and well-timed bus arrivals. (Mmm, sounds promising.)

The book also includes many photos by award-winning Canadian photographer Sam Javanrouh, who complements the text with the simplicity of his black and white images.


#883: High-fiving babies -- because they usually don´t leave you hanging. AWESOME.
