At least the camera worked

Well hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I just completed reading comments through the didge, as I pledged to do in a previous post. The video is below. First, though, let me tell you how much of a disaster this was:

1. Turns out my camera (which is really for digital pics, not video) only takes about a minute's worth of video. So, sorry, some comments had to be edited for length.

2. I brought Stella, my girlfriend's puppy, into the room for this, because she's usually fascinated by the didge. Instead, she attacked my feet the entire time, which seriously diminished my already very low didge-speaking abilities. I promise, I'm not lifting my leg just to give you a good crotch shot.

3. I think I forgot what I was saying about half the time.

Clearly, I'm not cut out for this. But hey, here's the video, perhaps amusing for its pure train-wreck quality. (And apologies to Studebaker, the final commenter, who I never got to. But hey, dude, you were way past the deadline anyway. And Adam: I have no idea how to pronounce your comment. Not like it matters, I guess.)

I can't believe you had a didge just lying around, dear God. (Nice pants, by the way.)

It's a long story. The short of it: I bought one in Australia but got ripped off and it never arrived. In December, my girlfriend's parents bought me one. I've since been teaching myself how to play.

i say, not enough! MORE! You only addressed Luke's awesome response halfway! MORE! in fact, you should make this a monthly event. It was fun following along with your didge-voice and text.

I feel honoured.

Yeah, give us a solid heads-up before you do another one. That was entertaining in ways I can't express.

Haha, silly dog! Maybe next time without the puppy?
