And then there were... two?

Hello! I hope you're all seated comfortably. I will be your blogger for this evening. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Melis, one of the badger vloggers you've seen on the Youtube channel and I will be working to update and maintain this blog alongside Adri.

Sure there isn't a great deal of... well... anything to this post, as we are all in the midst of working on bringing you our next video on top of juggling all the business of our lives. Real life just seems to have that horrible tendency of getting in the way and demanding attention. Though, you know, I'm sure Adri could work on more editing if she wasn't watching True Blood right now on HBO. (Because I'm so totally not. Right now. Seriously. OH GOD, WHY IS THIS SHOW SO BAD?!)

So, what can you expect from me within this blog? Aside from the bantering of "yes, we are working, trust us." Well, the answer would be whatever I feel like mentioning at the time. This won't be a constant chit-chatter blog about whatever... I have my own LJ for that if you're curious about fandom activities.

We hope this blog will also be the place for you to voice questions, comments, criticisms (constructive, people, constructive), suggestions, ideas. Yeah, we're eager to hear what sort of things you think you'd like us to tackle or talk about. Will we do those sort of things? Maybe, maybe not. We're not super popular or anything, and we're not going to run this thing pretending we are. Our team of vloggers and cynics are here to have fun and we want to keep on having fun. So I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that yes, there will be future editions of "Reading. So You Don't Have To" where we might do another Stephanie Meyer book and we might do other sort of books, but we also plan on trying other things out. Kind of like we're doing right now where we've decided to tackle the Marry/Shag/Cliff game which... uh... doesn't involve reading or books.

Okay, Adri may have found Mr. Not!EdwardVampire creepy... but I kinda like him. He's a bit creepy a good deal of the time, but he's a VAMPIRE and he SHOULD be creepy. But he's kinda cute... almost a Mr. Darcy look to him. Or maybe he's just cool because he cannot CLIMB THROUGH YOUR WINDOW AND SIT IN THE CORNER WATCHING YOU SLEEP LIKE EDWARD SPARKLE CULLEN DOES.

Looks like that's it for now. Keep watching the blog (if you haven't got a Blogspot account, we also have a feed on Livejournal, or you can just bookmark us) for updates and our next video.

Cheers!
Melis

First off, how in the hell did you know I was watching True Blood tonight? You're psychic!

Also, I'm revising my opinion on VampyMcNotSparkle. He's kind of cute. In the first episode he was less cute and more creepster.

My magical powers of all knowingness?

I'm pretty sure I missed the ending of the episode. After Sookie and Darcypire (that's what I'll call him since I have no idea what his name is) went out for a walk, I changed the channel to FOX just in time to see a huge preview for 24 and that kind of hooked me.

Doesn't matter what happened in between but it ended with her going to Darcypire's (I like that name!) house and there were tons of vampire's being all vampy. And probably evil.

Also, my final cut decided to tell me that my serial number isn't valid anymore so until I get a new one, I'm movie-editingless (except for imovie, which kind of sucks).

... Should I be watching True Blood?

@ Adri: Was it a vampire brothel? Like some sort of twisted creation of Anne Rice with Antonio Banderas standing in the middle of it in all his glory? (Oh ARMAND...) Anyway, he shall now be officially referred to as Darcypire!

@ Tenninch: (anonymity!) It depends... it's like Twilight but with more sex... though just as bad. I find it's kind of like a train wreck... so awful that you just can't turn away. So... maybe?

From what I could tell she was going to Darcypire's house to probably sex him up.

P.S. Final Cut is working again! w00t!
