green tea ROCKS

Last night’s insomnia attack

Last night, I couldn’t sleep. (a bit of knowledge that you could have gleaned from the post title, lol)

So like I always do when I pretty much have nothing else to do (and I rarely have anything that I must do at 4AM), is browse YouTube. There were a few nonsensical videos that I wanted to share with anyoneand everyone who happens to stumble upon my blog, but I was having some difficulty in properly embedding them.

I attempted to post a couple of videos using Windows Live Writer, but for some reason, after the entry was posted, the video would be converted to an image with a link to it’s page on YouTube. WHY? I don’t know and really, although I could not get myself to sleep, I also did not have enough active brainpower left for the “day” so I didn’t feel like figuring that out. – I realize now that the URL given by YouTube, DUHHH isn’t the video itself, it’s just a link to it’s page on YouTube, and that is why this was happening in Windows Live Writer. See? I told you I didn’t have enough brainpower

EDIT::WTH is going on??? It’s working now! The way it’s supposed to! 

EDIT AGAIN:: Okay, it’s not working again.. just a second ago the video worked, but when I went to edit the post, the image replaced the video again.. Hmmmmmm…..

Next I decided I would try and use YouTube’s auto-posting feature. This worked, in that it was properly embedded (well of course that would work), but it messed up the layout of my blog for some reason. Again, WHY? I don’t know why, but I do know that it definitely is a quirk with the CSS of my site, which I honestly don’t feel like tweaking right now.

Let me tell you, I was very disappointed that I was unable to post the videos last night :’(

But… I feel that by watching video that I find quite amusing though nonsensical, you might be inclined to watch it, and you may smile, and shake your head at the silliness, you might even giggle to yourself in that dimly lit bunker you call your “office.” Smiles and giggles are good things. I’d like to bring a little bit of happiness to your world, so here’s a link to one of the videos I was going to post last night:

This is one of my all time favorite AskANinja episodes.

 

If I have helped you smile today, or if for some reason that video made you mad, feel free to leave a comment
