I fell behind on my video blogging, and then I got tagged by Tia D and made three videos. See, Tia D? You're all it takes to get me on a(n obnoxious) vlogging roll!
Video #1: My response to Tia D.
The deal is you have to make a video response sharing 5 things about yourself. I s'ppose ideally you'll also tag other people to make response videos of their own, but I don't really know that many folks on YouTube likely to make a response video to one of mine so I guess you can consider this me tagging you if you like.
In other news: The job search continues and I'm still painfully under or over qualified for every job I'm finding. People keep saying how there aren't that many job openings out there, but that doesn't seem to be the case where I'm looking. The problem for me so far is just that the jobs are all a poor match for my skill set. Not that I'd particularly mind being overqualified for a position if it was something I could just relax and enjoy, but 1) I know I'd go bonkers after two days of bagging groceries, and 2) those jobs don't pay enough to cover my bills. :S
Where's a good sugar daddy when you need one?
I've got until mid-December to find work, at which point my unemployment insurance runs out and I'm up a particularly dense creek without adequate means of propulsion.
And now, a message to my politically minded friends (of which I have many) who keep sending me emails (by the terabyte) about the November elections:

Video #2: WordPress Search Terms
If you have a WordPress blog you're probably familiar with the Blog Stats tracking features. If you're not yet familiar with them then you should be because they're awesome. One of the things WP allows you to track are what search terms people plug into Google that bring them to your blog.
I decided I wanted to make a Wordle image of the search terms that bring people to my blog so I've been pasting them into an Excel document so I can more easily alphabetize them and see just how frequently some of them come up because some of them reappear a LOT.
The following is just a quick listing of some of the more common, or more unusual, things people have looked up that have brought them here.

Video #3: "The Philadelphia Story"
I'm in a show that opens in November at a theatre here in town. Good times. The last time I was in a show I made a video I could post in different places to give people info on it. Figured I'd just keep that tradition alive...

I could really use some Easy Mac...Don't assume we're voting the same way when sending me politically themed emails, or that the praise you're forwarding for your candidate of choice sounds any less like the brainwashed silliness you complain about from "the other side." For every "My Party's Candidate Is A God Among Men!" link you send me that glows over your candidate of choice I have one that glows in an equally flashy and abrasive manner over mine while debunking everything your videos and links just plugged. Let's just leave it at "we're even" and assume nothing we say to each other will change the other's mind. Because let's face it: It won't.
