My Cool New Toy!

So it's coming to the end of July, and once again the summer holidays seem to be going way too quickly. I am house-sitting for Tara and the kids, and have so far managed not to kill any plants or animals (although I forgot about watering the plants for a day or two, so we'll see if that holds out). While it is definitely much quieter without the kids running around (the dogs tend to counter that a bit), I miss them. This is the first time I have been living "alone" or baching it since Thunderchild, and while I have much more to do around here to keep me busy, I miss the daily family interactions. Thankfully, I have a couple good friends and the zoo to help me pass the time.

Speaking of the zoo, I am very much enjoying my new toy. The camcorder has been my best purchase for a while, and though I have not used it as often as I would have liked to, it is tres fun! I took a few videos at the zoo yesterday and I am in the process of uploading them to my Facebook and YouTube accounts, so feel free to check them out. I am looking forward to when one of my videos breaks 100 views (no, that is not a type-o, I meant 100). Of particular is a video involving what I do when I volunteer at the koala exhibit. So, for my top 10 list, I thought I would post a video, and give you a list of 10 videos I would like to make.



10. A particularily violent chemistry experiment I do with one of my classes. I do not have one in mind, but I am looking forward to finding a good one.
9. Some improv comedy with me and a couple buddies. Again, we'll have to see about the when and where.
8. A Trek parody. Oh yeah, you knew something Trek was going to come.
7. Street performers. Might be able to get this one at the Fringe in Edmonton this year.
6. A date. Again, something I am working on setting up.
5. My wedding reception. This will happen after #6, but note I said it WILL happen.
4. Me meeting a famous person. I could probably make a list of who that person would be. Another entry perhaps.
3. A Mentos-Diet Coke rocket. There are never enough of those videos on YouTube (incidently, check out the Menthos spin that Nobody's Watching TV did. They are on YouTube)
2. A video scavenger hunt. Might be a cool date idea.
1. Me cooking pancakes for the CISN waking crew!. I might be able to swing that next month even!
