Video update: Big news

Somehow I managed to get a video. I still haven't figured out how to work my video camera and make it communicate with my computer and get my computer to install drivers for some sound thing or...something. Basically, the ongoing fight between technology and I is still raging. And technology is winning. Damn it...
So I made this little update video. Nothing too special. Just making myself do the things I keep telling myself to do and never get around to doing. Got some big news in it.
I took the video and I was all proud of myself for accomplishing a goal I wanted to achieve. Then I tried to figure out how to get the video from my camera to my computer. That's when I found out I didn't have a cord to make that happen. Since I had to stop by the bank anyway, I went ahead and ran to Best Buy and they hooked me up with an SD card reader that plugs into my computer for like $12.
I came back home all amped up to complete my mission. And that's when I found out my computer needs some driver update to play videos or something and I followed all the troubleshooting instructions and got precisely, nowhere. So, then I decided I didn't need to try to edit anything or even actually view the video, before posting it, on anything other than the small camcorder screen. So I just blindly uploaded to my youtube account and my computer has no problem playing youtube videos...but I don't have speakers...or headphones since I left those at the office today. I'm really hoping it's not horrible.
Fair warning: I swear a couple of times in the video. Involuntary sailor mouth disorder. Sorry!
Lemme know what you think. Hope you guys like it!
