A few weeks back, I was innocently sitting in the Bryght office, when Kris said to me out of the blue "Have you ever wanted to be a broadcast journalist?"
"Nope," I responded.
"Oh. Too bad. I guess I'll try and think of someone else then."
So of course I had to ask, and it turned out that Geek Entertainment Television was looking for a northern correspondant for during Northern Voice, as Irina was not going to be able to make it. I was apprehensive, but my desire for fame and fortune overcame me. And so I agreed. Eeeks!
Ante was up after I watched a few episodes and realized that Irina was funnier and snarkier than I could ever hope to be (poor little conflict-avoidant Canadian pisces that I am), but I did the best I could. You can watch the first episode featuring moi here! (Don't laugh too hard. I was a little nervous.)
I especially wanted to thank Eddie of Eddie.com fame, cameraman extra-ordinaire, for all his kind words and skillful editing. It was actually really fun, and I'm glad I had the chance. Stay home again soon, Irina! ;)
