Three and Four

Number Three of the 23

LinkedIn – I created an account and updated some information.  So far I only have 2 connections, but at least I have those.  I am at 75% on profile completeness.  I kinda like that – 75% complete :)

Here’s my tweet all about it:

Number Four of the 23

Number Four was an enjoyable experience.  I checked out a video camera from the Reflector, took it home and recorded myself reading a couple of children’s books.  I chose Maurice Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen and Mommy Laid an Egg by Babette Cole.  Why did I choose these? – It’s all part of a bigger plan…muahahahhah!

This year Banned Book Week enthusiasts can make a “Virtual Read-Out” – a video recording of a reading from a banned or challenged book – and upload it to Youtube for all to see.  I wanted to read a children’s picture book in my virtual read-out, because I love picture books!  In the Night Kitchen was on the 2004 top ten list of frequently banned or challenged books.  Mommy Laid an Egg is number 77 on ALA’s 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books: 1990-1999.

So, I recorded myself reading the books.  I decided to upload the video of In the Night Kitchen.  So far it’s only been uploaded to my YouTube account; it hasn’t made it to the Banned Books Week channel yet.  I want to play around with editing a bit and I’m only allowed to use a video under 2 minutes in length (mine is twice that length).  Back to work Liz!

Here’s the tweet for lovely number four:
