Well Dad’s gone for the day so I’m taking over the blog for a bit.
Christian and I are going to start our videocast up again now that we don’t have anything going on during the weekends. The floodlights in the living room are already set up, as are the coasters and ice water. The only difficulty we’re going to have is thinking of a subject. We don’t know if we should be serious, funny, musical, dramatic or weird. Our friends are a always good source of help though, so we decided to ask them what they would like to hear us talk about. The answers were varied. David thought we should say something funny or talk about Obama. Erik thought we should talk about music, specifically alternative and emo types. Brooke thought we should talk about how brand names affect people’s purchases. Dana (and Lyle) thought we should talk about technology. Ana thought we should talk about sports, Duke, UNC, NC State, celebrities or vampires. Cousin Julia thought we should argue over the merits of Delilah, discuss Christian’s legendary 10th birthday party, list the pros and cons of Facebook, make a music video or talk about fantasy football. All of the ideas are workable. Delilah, Facebook, and music are easy for me to talk about. Christian would be good at talking about technology, his birthday party or music. We will decide on something eventually.
Another source of inspiration: these guys. I got an e-mail from Dad yesterday with a link to that video. After clicking the link and watching the (utterly ridiculous) video, I surfed around their YouTube channel a bit and discovered that Rhett & Link live like 20 minutes away from my house! They also went to NC state (Go Wolfpack!), have a live videocast every Thursday night (I would love to do that sometime!), and make really entertaining, and really ridiculous videos. I don’t know if that’s the style that we’re going for, but there are definitely some things there that would help us.
Anyway, if you blog-readers have anything that you would like to hear, please drop us a line. We’re not quite there yet, but we’re getting very very close to desperate.
