Just when I thought that getting older meant getting more set in my ways, especially for someone as stubborn as myself, things changed. I'm about to move across the country for the fourth time, back to San Francisco, which I never thought I would do. And having to do something I never thought I would do is, for some reason, making me reconsider other things on my Never list. Like selling my car or living without a television. (Right, we're not to the skydiving level yet.)
One of my Nevers is sharing personal stuff on the internets. I just feel like the downside is too risky. But on the other hand, nobody's reading this really, except for all the people googling Steve Perry. So, on Friday I was feeling stir-crazy and messing about with my digital camera, and the thought occurred to me to make a video diary of my move. Here's my first installment.
Moving Blog from Krissy T on Vimeo.
In a way it's quicker than writing out a post (no linking! no editing! no photos!) but then uploading the video took forEVer. That part might be a dealbreaker. I reserve the right to delete this video and discontinue at any time. But if this is halfway interesting to my friends who are watching, I'll continue. You just let me know.
Frankly, I'm not sure I'll have much to say on video in the future. It's still all about writing and music. In fact, in the long run I think my video blog would end up looking a lot like this*:
Oh, young Michael McDonald...
* There's a Nicolette Larson post in the queue, oh yes! Sit tight!
