Favorite YouTubers

So, it is nine thirty at night, and I just realized I did not have a post up today. Since I said I would try to post every day this month, I thought I would try to come up with something really quickly. Since lists are easy, I thought I would do a list of some of my favorite youtubers. I am subscribed to an embarrassingly large number of them, but these are the ones I watch regularly. My subscription box is usually full of unwatched videos, but there are always a few that I will always watch, no matter what. I used to watch a lot more, but I have less time for it now.

1. Vlogbrothers. This was the first YouTube channel I ever subscribed to, over a year ago, and I am pretty sure that I have watched every video they have released since then.

2. Wheezy Waiter. I love Wheezy Waiter, though he posts videos more often, and there are definitely some that I've missed, particularly recently. I am finally at the point now that I think that I actually get all the inside jokes, which is fun.

3. Pemberly Digital. This is where the Emma Approved videos go up. I am really loving it so far.

4. Charlieissocoollike. He isn't at all hard to keep up with, since he posts a video about once every three months or so.

There really aren't any others that I always watch.

There are, however, a lot more that I really like, but just don't have time to watch too often, though I try when I have the chance. Maybe I'll do another post with some other channels I like another day when I have more time.

I'll be back tomorrow, though I have no idea what with.

The Government Shutdown

On Monday, our new current events class met for the first time to discuss the government shutdown. There was a little discussion, a lot of listening, and a lot of background information about the shutdown.

I am a news junkie, as my mother calls me, and as such, I like to know what's going on in world, especially when it is going to effect me or people I know. Over the past ten days of the shutdown, I've heard a lot about it, through various sources. This all came in handy when the dad who is running the class asked us all to email him our guesses about when the government would reopen, and how.

I'll admit that since I told him my guess, I've been watching the news even more carefully to see if I'll be right.  So far, I'm thinking I could get lucky. I guessed that the government would reopen on Friday the 11th (that's tomorrow!), and it is looking like things might be headed in that direction at the moment, though we will see soon enough. I could still be totally wrong.

If it does reopen, I'll get an email notification from NPR (as I do with any major news event), and I'm sure I'll see it on Google News pretty quickly as well. If it happens in the morning (before 8sih, PDT), I'll hear about it on NPR. Sometimes I think maybe I'm connected to a few too many news sources. :) Oh, and within a day (maybe less), I'm sure SourceFed will have a video about it too. You can never have too much news...
