Late Night Blogging: Tumblr Accent Challenge

Okay, well lets be honest, it’s not so much a challenge as an activity for the insomniacs of the world known as teenagers, alcoholics, and apparently, ME even though I have to work in the morning. What is up with that?

Anyway, the list in case you’d like to make your own accent video!

Your name and username, Where you’re from.

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is a bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
Choose a book and read a passage from it.
Do you think you have an accent?
Be a wizard or a vampire?
Do you know anyone on Tumblr in real life?
End audio post by saying anything you want!

This might come as a shock to some of you - but there’s a new Randamity.

Say WHAT????? Yes, I know I’ve been a total slacker, but things are just crazy! And since I edit video five days a week, I find I haven’t had a lot of time to create new Randamitys. HOWEVER, I want to try to do better. I say try because seriously, I say that all the time. Man, I had so much more time to do this when I was unemployed! Ain’t that the truth.

Viva, viva, Las Vegas, Baby. They may call it Sin City, but for me, it was heaven. Shopping, food, and a fantastic pool? How can a girl complain?

Of course, I’m a fan of any city that never sleeps. I loved that there were burger joints you could hit up at 11 pm. I loved that stores stayed open all hours of the night. And no matter what time of day, the streets were packed with people. I loved wearing cute outfits by day and dressing to the nines by night. I loved waking up at 9 am and laying by the pool until lunch, shopping all afternoon, and playing craps all night.

Not going to lie, the walking almost made me want to die. I was ready for that. I only managed heels one night of the trip (and shortly after ended up in flats). But it was my first time to Vegas, and I wanted to see everything, do everything, and soak as much as possible in. Can you blame a girl?

View from my hotel room - not too shabby, eh? Perfect for scoping out a pool chair.

Thing is, lots of people go to Vegas to get lucky. I discovered that I LOVE LOVE LOVE craps, but I’m not terribly gifted at it. Maybe we just hit some terrible tables. Where I really got lucky was the mall. And since my dear friend Amy has requested that I give her a haul video, I suppose I can do just that.

I’m a high tech girl at heart - let’s face it, I have 4 computers, an iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, all the video game systems I could possibly need, and a TV in every room of the house. So I was thrilled when I heard that Birchbox was doing the high-tech equivalent of a box this month - all of the beauty products that are innovative, solving problems we never knew we had, and being at the cutting edge of making. it. work.

So what was in YOUR Birchbox this month? (Sign up here if you feel left out!)

Check it out!

Thanks to my obsession with Birchbox, I am now a Birchblogger! It’s their new blogger network they just launched and I’m honored to be included.

I’ll take this opportunity to also say, I’m playing around with the idea of some fun new changes on the blog! New look, new ideas, new…stuff. The look and feel is going to be a lot different, and I want to add a lot more variety into the posts. What spurred these thoughts for me was the realization that I’ve been trying to be EVERY KIND of blogger. I want a food blog and a fashion blog and a photography blog and a video blog and it just gets exhausting. Putting all of your eggs in 80 different baskets means you aren’t making the kind of impact you COULD be. And this is my home, and after all, blogging with AJ is blogging with me, so why can’t it include all of these things? I still want to make video blogs. In fact, I’ve discovered that I really enjoy just making simple ones that I can just ramble on for 30 minutes about nothing. I want to do more of those. I want to post my pictures of my adventures. I want to show outfits. We’ll see, I’m not promising anything, but do be looking out for new and fun changes soon. I don’t want this blog to die an early death, so I’d like to breathe a little life into it now while I’m motivated.

Anyway, shout out to Birchbox for letting me roll in their blog ring. Legit.
